The only thing this toolbar does that Firefox doesn't already is give pagerank- But there's a great site that'll let you do all this anyway. Otherwise, I recommend looking at open source Firefox extensions and YubNub.com (which integrates beautifully into firefox) for your enhancement needs!

Work from home occassionally. I find this to be a great stress reliever.

Hire a second person to help you.

Ask for a raise, or find a better paying job doing the same kind of work.

Find a way for your wife to work during times when you get laid off.

What exactly are you stressful about it? money? mortage? fear of loosing your job?

I work as a web developer, and have had a lot of stress the last 2 years from fear of loosing my job. I recently found a job, and then after 5 months was laid off. Stressing about it will only make it worse. I've come to accept that I work in a field where job security is non-existent. The best you can do is keep that resume polished (put an html version online so google picks it up), and post your resume on lots of sites once you do get laid off.

dice.com
hotjobs.com
monster.com
craigslist.org
careerbuilder.com
jobs.perl.org

These are all the places I maintain my resume, on their web sites, as well as search for jobs, as I'm currently looking for work. I have been getting about 2-3 calls a day, and I live in Silicon Valley, where it was dead for about 3 years for IT jobs. I'd say 50% of the calls I get are from people finding my resume in google. I've been doing search engine optimization for 2 years, and it has definitely helped me to get my resume up to the first page in google for my targeted keywords.

I haven't landed anything yet, hopefully will get an offer next week. I've been on several interviews at least, so things are picking up.

Happy Birthday Perl!

I've been making money off Perl for 5 years now!

I use Walmart.com because they have the cheapest prices on tech books, and have just as many as bookpool.com or amazon.

They are going to become more competitive, and in the long run, cheaper. However, service still sucks for AT&T in my area, but I'm stuck with contract. Next time, NO CONTRACTS!

I've been shopping walmart.com for tech books for quite awhile (they are the cheapest)! This is good news, I wonder if they will be offering Linux on the laptops, or any other desktops!

Google is the leader in search engine industry. It's going to be interesting to see what Microsoft does, since they will no longer be using Inktomi, they need a search engine.

This annoys me, I always thought p2p would be safe, since no company is responsible for the applications, at least in the open source world.
