Ubuntu Forums Menu extension for Firefox

Ubuntu Forums extension
If you've just started using Ubuntu and you're the sort of person who likes to have 911 and poison control on speed dial, you might want to check out the Ubuntu Forums Menu extension for Firefox.

While Ubuntu is one of the easiest Linux distributions for new users to learn, we can pretty much guaranty that you're eventually going to run into an issue while trying to enable support for your hardware or when you're trying to install some application. Lucky for you, there's an enormous community of Ubuntu users and developers hanging out at the Ubuntu Forums who are more than happy to answer your questions. In fact, if you search the forums, there's a good chance you'll find out your questions have already been answered.

The Ubuntu Forums Menu extension adds an item to your Firefox menu bar to give you quick access to the forums. You can also access this menu via the right-click context menu.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
