Having to go to a webpage to get my bookmarks, in a lenghty format, having to go to another webpage to add a bookmark, too much for too little.<br />Then a friend reminded me of it, at a time when I was working on different computers, with need of online bookmarks.<br />So I searched for a convenient way to use del.icio.us.<br />I surely am not the first one to find it, but here it is - firefox only:<br />First go to your del.icio.us bookmark page, This icon <img src="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/products/firefox/live-bookmarks/rss.png"> should appear in your status bar, it's for live bookmarks. Click and choose 'Subscribe to feed for xx bookmarks'.<br />If it doesn't appear, open bookmark manager, click File, New live bookmark, and enter the url of your bookmark page. <br />Now your del.icio.us bookmarks will appear in a folder together with your regular bookmarks.<br /><br />Then the 'add bookmark' button.<br />Del.icio.us <a href="http://del.icio.us/doc/about">proposes</a> a 'remember this' bookmark, which brings you to a web page to enter details about the new bookmark. with a little modification (see below), you can skip the details and just save the bookmark with no tags.<br />To do this, edit the bookmark, and change this<br /><i>javascript:location.href='http://del.icio.us/YOURID?v=3&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)</i><br />with this<br /><i>javascript:location.href='http://del.icio.us/YOURID?v=3&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&description='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)</i>kyrlianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857299590217439443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388735.post-1128355224270404962005-10-03T21:00:00.000+02:002005-10-03T18:02:26.990+02:00Google web acceleratorIt seems <a href="http://webaccelerator.google.com/">google web accelerator</a> is <a href="http://webaccelerator.google.com/dc.html">availlable for download</a> again.<br />As I recall, it came up early May 2005, and went down shortly after that.<br /><br />You should read some comments before using it.<br /><a href="http://www.37signals.com/svn/archives2/google_web_accelerator_hey_not_so_fast_an_alert_for_web_app_designers.php">at 37signal</a>,<br /><a href="http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/41743">at metafilter</a>,<br /><a href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2005/05/google_web_acce_1.html">at o'reilly radar</a>,<br /><a href="http://google.blognewschannel.com/index.php/archives/2005/05/05/much-controversy-over-googles-accelerator/">at bnc</a>.<br />You can also read google web accelerator faqs <a href="http://webaccelerator.google.com/support.html">here</a> and <a href="http://webaccelerator.google.com/webmasterhelp.html">there</a>.<br /><br />Considering drawbacks previously raised, I will wait for some more reviewing before installing this.<br />Anyone uses it ?kyrlianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857299590217439443noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5388735.post-1128355176251169972005-10-03T20:59:00.000+02:002005-10-03T18:00:01.346+02:00ClustyRecently tried <a href="http://clusty.com/">clusty</a>, a clustering search engine.<br />I usually use google, but when I didn't find what I was searching for I tried clusty, and found.<br />Don't know if this clustering thing is of any use, it enables to categorize your search in a different way... Sort of post-processing.<br />Just like google, clusty has web, news, images, shopping searches, also has wikipedia, blogs and jobs searches.<br />Note: Google's <a href="http://blogsearch.google.com/">blog search</a> is currently beta.<br /><br />BTW, when looking for alternatives to google, I had a look to <a href="http://www.mozdex.com/">mozdex</a>. This is an open source search engine, currently beta. With not much activity during last year. It seems a lot of buzz followed it's opening (in 2004), but nothing followed.

And there is <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/customize/skins/">some choice</a> already.<br /><a href="http://www.opera.com/features/">Fast Rewind and Fast Forward</a> buttons, which go to the <i>more likely</i> previous or next page. We'll see.<br /><a href="http://www.opera.com/features/mouse/">Mouse gestures</a>. Well, if you use it.<br /><a href="http://www.opera.com/voice/">Voice control</a>. <i>Forward... Forward... Sorry mate, 'was talking to my browser.</i><br />Subwindows. Tabs are real internal windows, as in word you can tile your documents, you can tile your webpages. Firefox can't do that. And it seems usefull.<br />Typing directly in the adress bar triggers a google lucky search - sometimes. Firefox do that - sometimes.<br />Buttons and text fields have slightly round corners, good looking.<br /><br /><b>Bads:</b><br />The menu bar (File/Edit/View/.../Help) is not considered as a toolbar. Thus you can't place the adress bar up there.<br />Unfortunatly, this is my favorite layout with <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">Firefox</a>, having a toolbar with menu, few button, adress field, and below that the page tabs.<br />Then you can't have less than two toolbars (url and tabs), no minimalist AND usable layout then. Except using minimalist skins, such as <a href="http://my.opera.com/community/customize/comments.dml?id=656">Breeze Simplified MICRO V4.15</a>.<br />Popup blocking is quite agressive, even in 'block unwanted' mode, blocking wanted popups.<br />No extensions, meaning I don't have my <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/">stumble upon</a> button. Can't remember if extensions are considered a security breach and won't be allowed, or if it's work in progress. As there is no info on extensions on opera's features page, I suppose this is a no go.<br />Ads. Opera is now ad-free, good. But you don't have ad blocking functions such as <a href="http://adblock.mozdev.org/">adblock</a>, ads are everywhere again.<br /><br /><b>Neither good nor bad:</b><br />Is it faster ? Well, that's not obvious. Not slower as far as I can notice.<br />You can call back closed windows. In fact closed windows are moved to a <i>trash</i>, you can then call them back from the trash until you empty the trash. Any use ?<br /><br /><b>All in All:</b><br />Clean and simple. No extensions means no fancy tweaks, it's all about browsing.<br />I like it. I might stick to firefox for adblock, but I really like it's style.<br /><br />.kyrlianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857299590217439443noreply@blogger.com0
