All browsers are different, but if you are a MAN you’re using firefox

Type about:config in the address bar. This will take you to a page with a datagrid and a bunch of configuration settings for Firefox. Set browser.cache.disk.enable and browser.cache.memory.enable both to false.

I just started a new job at Vanguard Health and had to setup my development environment. Here’s what I rely on:

#1 Most Useful: Hanselman’s Lists:

• Paving his machine for a fresh 2009 - First-Pass Must-Haves

• Scott Hanselman’s 2009 Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows

#2 Swap my keys around:

• Swap Caps Lock & Control : http://www.manicai.net/comp/swap-caps-ctrl.html [Registry]
• Use Emacs AutoHotkey : http://www.davesquared.net/2008/02/emacs-key-bindings-everywhere.html  Dave rocks for having given us this little Emacs key binding GEM (need autoHotkey)

#3 Install all browsers:

• Chrome
• IE 8
• FireFox (w/ firebugs – of course)

#4 Control Multiple Monitors using 1 keyboard  (nice find Erick)

• Open Source
• No Hardware Required
