Come hack the Web

What is Trixie?

Trixie is to Internet Explorer as Greasemonkey is to Firefox. It lets you remix the Web via scripts. You may do this to either make it more readable, fix bugs or to even add little features to make the site more usable to you. Trixie by itself does none of this. It is just a plugin for Internet Explorer that enables executing chunks of JavaScript code and thus lets you use the Web the way you want to use it.

Snippy!

Introducing Snippy…the most friendly utilitarian tool for bloggers…just select any region of your screen and its copied to the clipboard..and clik ‘paste’..done..add more screen captures to your blog.snipped

What is Snippy?

How often have you carefully selected some text from a Web page and copied it to an email message? Snippy makes this a snap! Simply click on the little Snippy icon in the taskbar notification area, and mark out the region of the screen that you want to copy — that's it, you're done! The cut-out image will now be in your clipboard, and you can paste it in another application.

If you are cutting out a portion of an Internet Explorer window, the URL will also be copied to the clipboard; this makes it very convenient to select something interesting on a Web site and send it out in an email message.

Get Snippy

Greasemonkey - A Revelation

Filed under: All things Firefox

Ok we know “Firefox” yes “Thunderbird” also.. now what..? “Greasemonkey”…come on is there a “Blogging-buffalow”coming up?Well i cant speculate on that,but if its as useful as the above..i’m ok with any animal.So coming to Greasemonkey.

I hope that most of you have switched over to Firefox or thinking of..in anycase i am giving you a reason to make your stand.Firefox as it comes barebone and hence light!…has an option for adding tiny pieces of code that extends its functioning/featureset.Now these are aptly named “Extensions”.As you predicted Greasemonkey is one of these extensions which is in a sense notoriously popular.

For more of Greasemonkey go here

Once you have tried greasemonkey u’l never be able to give it up..trust me its addictive.The following are the scripts that i run

1.Bugme not - Skip required registration using the Bug Me Not shared login service, similar to the Firefox extension. Works in Firefox/GM and IE/Turnabout.

2.Email Linkify:Turn all unlinked email addresses on a page into ‘mailto’s

3.Embeded Player -> Link Converter:Turn embedded real/quicktime/windowsmedia player objects into links, so you can download them. Tested on 3voor12.vpro.nl and ifilm.com only. Now probably safe for other sites too. Updated: Now has preliminary Google Video Support - use any player you want.

4.FoxiPod:MP3/music links get an additional link to download directly to iTunes or iPod in a single-click. A combination of a greasemonkey script and a Mac OS X custom protocol handler application. (currently requires Mac OS X. user script is auto-generated)

5.Hide Adsense:Hides Google Adsense IFrames. Updated 2005-04-28

6.WikiProxy: Greasemonkey Edition:Adds links to Wikipedia entries for important terms and acronyms on any webpage
