Session manager

Hi Developers!

I have always praised the ability to start up where I have left off the other day. It makes a sense to do so, and there are numerous ways to do it.

One is to leave anything like it was and do not shut down your computer. But what happens when suddenly there was a power shortage? Ok, you might have a backup ups. Yes, but it's a terrible waste of energy, and those daimn bills are draining pocket. That would have to be accounted in the bill for web design and customers might not be happy about it.

The other way is even better if combined with portable apps like Firefox (which can be) and Chrome for example (it might too). It's a session manager. A cool plugin that saves the state of current browsing session including number of opened browser windows/tabs and even the position inside a page. It's like a screenshot of your work environment. When the session is restored the only thing that has to be done is reload of the content. And we're back in (web design) business.

What is the advantage apart from saving energy and natural environment (those polutions from power plants agrrrrr:/)?

If we save a saved session on portable Firefox, we can travel with it anywhere and continue the work on every computer with usb and Internet connection.

Cool huh?

 See you soon Developers!
