Firefox extension to fix the new Facebook design

I had a few issues with the new Facebook design, so I created a Firefox extension to make it more readable (and remove all the ads). See the before and after screenshots below.

(hassle-free!)

The extension is simply a compiled Greasemonkey userscript that adds a few CSS styles → fix-new-facebook.user.js

RSS feed of your Tumblr dashboard

Update 08/15: code is now on GitHub

Update 01/17: new version online that fixes a few issues; download

Been using e-z blog Tumblr lately: jamiew.tumblr.com
Pleased with the ease of use & reblogging functionality, but unbelievably disappointed by the lack of RSS for the dashboard!

Voilá a ruby script to login to yr Tumblr account, scrape the last 50 posts or so, and output as RSS.

>> tumblr-dashboard-rss.rb

usage:

  • set the email & password variables
  • put in a cgi-bin on your server, or
  • use an RSS reader like Vienna or NetNewsWire that can parse RSS from a local file

I’m avoiding setting this up as service; just wanted to put the code out there.

Filemarks: save files to your iPhone

Filemarks rock.

Got a shiny new iPhone and frustrated by how difficult Apple makes it to put high-res photos, PDFs, and other files on it? Download Filemark Maker, a tiny app that makes it easy to generate bookmarks with the data stored inside (known as DataURLs).

Drop a file on the app, bookmark the generated link, sync with your iPhone, and enjoy offline files, like subway maps and eBooks.

Hacked together at Jelly this week in conjunction with Josh and Dave from Insanely Great Tees (which are, in fact, pretty insanely great)
