I installed this optimized google reader script to give more screen real estate. This means it is now possible to read all the comics properly in the 1024*768 screen resolution that I'm stuck with. Wahey!
Another greasemonkey script installed - Flickr: More menus
I changed my google/ig page so that the search bar uses Blingo instead. I modified someone elses greasemonkey script - mine changes form[0] to use blingo
I'm looking at a way of hacking the google/ig page so that all the google links are secure. This is because if you log into google.com/ig or gmail.com as a secure site, the links to the calendars do not go across via ssl which is a pain if you are using an insecure hotspot.
If you get the error message Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 when trying to install a greasemonkey script then you need to create a gm_scripts directory in your profile directory and then create an empty file called config.xml in this directory. I got the information from iPodWizard.net where someone had the same problem. I must admit that the solution is not very obvious from the error code.
As to the reason it happened? I think it's because the restore of my firefox profile didn't include that directory for some reason. It turns out that this is because I restored my profile using mozbackup which doesn't backup this directory. I've requested this feature/bug in the next version.
There's a new zero day exploit for firefox and internet explorer which involves javascript. So if you are running firefox, then installing NoScript will give you added protection. If you are running IE - then ooooooops :-)
Having said that, it doesn't look that malicious - you would have to be tricked into entering data into one page, which can then be sent to the malicious site at the same time, so you are probably only at risk if you do random surfing or surf in dodgy web site areas in the first place - and if you are doing that then I really hope you are not running internet explorer (or as an admin!)
A script to remove those annoying intellitext ad's - those double underlined in green words that are starting to appear all over the place such as at The Gadgeteer and the once was useful but not anymore expertsexchange. The links will appear briefly but then get removed by the greasemonkey script.
From Rhyley.org are some more flickr greasemonkey scripts. I've added flickrPhotoPageEnhancer.user.js and FlickrThumbnailsEnhancer.user.js
Note that you will need to edit these scripts (and others) to include the www*.flickr domains as flickr have broken a lot of scripts by hosting some pages at www-us.flickr.com after their servers were moved.
flickr.comments.toggle enables you to view the comments on the right hand side of the screen whilst viewing the photostream. Saves having to open each picture individually.

I created my first greasemonkey script that will add a link to flickr in a geocaching web page for pictures tagged with the geocache name. For example GCMAG6. The experience of coding was a bit of a headache as I didn't know what greasemonkey was expecting and I don't know much about javascript (it's VERY case sensitive!). The tutorial/book at Dive Into Greasemonkey was very helpful for the former problem and using the javascript console solved the latter problem.
I've reinstalled greasemonkey following the Greaseblog: Mandatory Greasemonkey Update by installing version 0.3.5 from greasemonkey.mozdev.org
Apparently there is a major security hole that allows any website to view the contents of any file on your harddisk if you have greasemonkey installed (see greasemoney mailing list post for information. I can't reproduce the problem with their proof of concept code, but its a pretty scary possibility. Annoyingly, turning off greasemonkey will reduce the functionality on my flickr/geocaching pages :-( Thanks to Pip for the tipoff
By installing the greasemonkey script mentioned in Flickr: GeoTagging Flickr you get the capability to have google maps on the same page as flickr if the image has been geotagged.
