Setting ctrl+enter in Firefox address bar to use .com
Thanks to Ray's comment on this page I found that I need to set browser.fixup.alternate.suffix to .com in Firefox's about:config to get the behaviour I want on my HTPC. I've mostly been using english OS:s on my other computers, but the HTPC has a Swedish Vista and Ctrl+enter in the address bar goes to .se which is not good behaviour.

HTPC status report, episode 2
I finally found an easy way to replace caps lock with ctrl. Also, the front VFD display seems to be working somewhat. I did a hard reboot (power off, cord out) and it came back to life. No thanks to the support over at Fujitsu-Siemens who so far has missed two times out of two possible.
What else is new? I'm thinking about getting the Media Control Plugin for Media Center. And I've replaced IE with Firefox. IE 7 was bearable, but I like firefox much better. And with the del.icio.us Bookmarks plugin I get synced bookmarks between all my computers. Brilliant.

Improve Google Reader looks
Thanks to John Hicks for making a nice looking Google Reader skin. If you don't use Stylish, kp made a Greasemonkey version. The "Trends" link is kinda hidden, but its not enough of a problem to stop me from using it.
Edit: I tried out the greasemonkey version since I didn't want to install Stylish but there were too many glitches to make it a nice experience. Install Stylish and use the instructions on Johns site. You don't want the greasemonkey version. Trust me.
