It's cold, and there are wolves

1/5/09 12:41 pm

If you, like me, have a computer manufactured during the period when hamsterdance was new and annoying, rather than old and annoying, you may have problems with firefox getting slow and/or slowing your entire machine, if it's left open too long. The advice often given for this is to disable your extensions (which take up memory), or open fewer tabs (which take up memory). However, if, like me, you think the entire point of firefox is tabs and extensions, you may find this advice unhelpful and annoying. If you have less than a GB of RAM¹ the following may be useful to you.

( let's muck about in firefox's intestines! )

When I notice fonts, it's generally to do with bad

6/23/08 12:49 pm

This amazon comment page for a $500 audio cable (all 59 inches of it!) is hilarious and wonderful, but brings me forcibly to the conclusion something is wrong with my font-rendering.

I'm guessing this is probably something to do with my fonts, rather than to do with firefox, but damn it's wonky.

Named, of course, for that incident that had the RSPCA investigating Samson

6/18/08 11:08 pm

I've messed around with my chrome and menu customizations enough that Firefox 3.0 is a lot like Firefox 2.x was, with a couple of extensions that are lagging behind in compatbility. But Firefox keeps signing me out of lj. And the girl-wonder forums. And del.icio.us. And every frickin' site I use cookies to stay logged in to. Is this happening to anyone else, or is one of the extensions I'm using more buggy than I thought?

What do you mean window.location.host includes the subdomain?!?

I once was not so suck at javascript!

But with much cussing, I've gotten lj instant tag to work on other lj clones. It's quite a nice script and much handier than lj's default method of allowing tagging, IMHO, so here it is with my changes

// ==UserScript==
// @name         LJ Instant Tag 
// @namespace    http://www.carranza-collective.com/joel/software/livejournal-instant-tag/
// @description	 Override yours "Edit Tag" link on posts to allow you to tag entries without leaving the page.  Version 0.2.1
// @include      http://*.livejournal.com/*
// @include      http://*.greatestjournal.com/*
// @include      http://*.journalfen.net/*

	----------
	0.1 - Initial Release (1/11/2007)
	0.2 - Override "Edit Tag" link instead of adding "Instant Tag" link    
	0.2.1 - Minor modifications for lj-clone compatibility, by Betty

Copy/paste into a text file, save as "instant_tag.js" with quotes, and open in your browser to install with greasemonkey.

May still be buggy, let me know, and I can try to fix, if so.

Thanks to piehead (and who was that masked man?) I've got my style=not-mine script working, so for anyone interested, the relevant bit is under the cut. Paste it into a text file, name it something.user.js and open it in firefox. (Assuming you already have greasemonkey installed.)
