Found a solid little content filter for Firefox. It’s an add-on called ProCon. It seems pretty straight-forward. I’m working on getting Dansguardian up and running on my computer, but I thought I’d use this in the meantime. It seems to work pretty well. I haven’t tried to see if it blocks porn (by going to a site), but I did try it on a site I knew that sometimes has questionable content, and it blocked it right away. Definitely worth a shot if you want to have some filtering to safeguard your browsing.

I found this little program while reading the documentation for FreeNote. Checked out the website and downloaded a .deb installation package here. When installing, it gave me a message saying that there was an older version available in the archives – but I went ahead and installed the latest one. You can probably install the older one thusly:

sudo apt-get install mtpaint

The program itself fired up really quickly and resized a pic pretty easily. This one might have the most features for the smallest footprint (as far as system resources)
