I replaced Slogger with Gbrain, which stores your history in Google's bookmark service, which turns it into a searchable, remote, resource... It is the way to go! Google rules! Gbrain is posted on Mighty Joe's Firefox Extensions. Check it out there... link on the right of this page.
It took me a while to warm up to Slogger. The first time that I ran it I didn't take the time to figure out what it was and it wasn't all that pretty. But one day I was looking for a website that I had visited. I searched my history and I didn't find the search term anywhere. So I opened up my Slogger log file and there it was in all it's simplicity, just what I needed, a list of the sites I had visited and a url link to each of them. I was thrilled because I found value out of something I didn't expect to deliver. Everyone should run this. It doesn't take much of your ram and it provides a simple report of everywhere you have been. As Carmen would say "respect the authoritI of simplicity".
Download the extension then right click on your menu tool bar and select "customize". Pick the big black down arrow and drag it to your toolbar and then exit. Then click on the arrow and it will turn red, this means that it is logging your files (it will prompt you for a location to store your log file). Then there is a drop down list and select "view log file". It is fantastic and it is simple. Now one important point... choose "options" within Slogger (clicking on the red arrow's drop down) and go to the "save pages" tab and select "text only". Otherwise it will save every picture and all the contents of each web page. This might be handy for working off line but it will chew up your disk space unnecessarily. Once you choose "text" file then it is just a text report with links to your web sites and that is the way Mighty Joe is going to go!
