Well, I've had fun posting here on Blogger, but I've had my own website for some time now, and I've decided it's time for me to host my own blog. I'll keep this one up, but will no longer post here. From now on, I will only post at Dan's Musings, which is powered by the Serendipity Weblog System.
Any followers I have I hope will follow me to my new blog, which I intend to update more often than this one.
One of these days, I promise I'm going to write about something other than my Greasemonkey scripts. Today, however, will not be one of these days.
I recently subscribed to Twitter, which is a social networking site dedicated entirely to tell your friends what you're doing. Well, I decided it would be great if I could keep my Facebook status set to my Twitter status. I thought this would be a good idea because I can set my twitter status from just about anywhere (even Facebook). I began to search and found a couple programs (e.g. this really nice ruby script) that could be run in the background on your computer and would do exactly this. The only problem with them was that they all would log you out of another facebook login. This is fine if I'm not actually on my computer, but if I'm on my computer using Facebook, I wouldn't want this.
So I decided to write another Greasemonkey script for Facebook that would do it in your browser, with your already logged-in facebook session.
This script will check your Twitter status every time you go to the Facebook homepage, and if it's different than your Facebook status, it will update your facebook status with your current twitter status.
I hope you enjoy it.
Well, I have been programming like crazy lately. Just the other day, I promised to come up with a successor to my Facebook InfoBox script. Today, I am delivering that promise. Welcome Facebook Friend Menu.
This script has all the same features as its predecessor (plus a couple extra, of course), with a brand new design. Read all about it at the link above. I hope you all like it.
Well, here comes a new Greasmonkey Script for Facebook. This one was designed because I saw a lack in the new design of Facebook. I really didn't like that they took away the "My ..." links on the left side of the page. On the other hand, I really liked the new drop-down menus. So this simple script takes what used to be in the "My..." links, and puts them in a drop-down menu next to the Profile link.
Also, while I'm taking about Facebook scripts, I've updated my Info Box script. It broke when Facebook changed the design. I finally got around to fixing it. However, I've got a new idea for another script that I intend to replace the Info Box script. It'll be something like a drop-down menu, perhaps. Anyway, I'm getting tired of the Info Box design.
