Development Bookmarklets: Thanks for Si
mon Willison for pointing us at this amazing page of
bookmarklets that let you play with the CSS and JavaScript of any
page.
These bookmarklets let you see how a web page is coded
without digging through the source, debug problems in web pages
quickly, and experiment with CSS or JS without editing the actual
page.
Some killer bookmarklets:
- Computed styles. As near as I can tell, this one lets you
click on an element and displays the styles applied to it both
directly and inherited from higher up the cascade.
- Generate source. Displays the entire DOM tree as formatted
text.
- View variables. Displays all JavaScript variables and functions
in scope on the page.
- Shell. Gives you a JavaScript shell in the current page
scope.
Great, great tools here. Incidentally, these are only the "Web
Development" bookmarklets. There are hundreds of
bookmarklets on the site. Some of them are jaw-droppingly good,
and worthy of their own post.
If you don't know how a bookmarklet works, just pick one you like,
then drag it to the bookmark bar on your browser. Find a page where
you want to use it, and click the bookmark.

04/18/2004 07:03 PMAnyone know if it would be possible to create a bookmarklet that
emulates an EyeDropper style
application: as you move it around the page it shows you the hex
colour code for the pixel directly under the mouse pointer? I'm pretty
sure it can't be done but I'd love to be proved wrong.

03/19/2003 10:27 PMAnyone Want a Feedster Bookmarklet ?
I was thinking it would be really useful to just highlight some
text on a webpage and click a bookmarklet in your browser link
bar and have it do a feedster search. Matt Mower gets all the
credit for this idea. And, well of course, Bottom Feeder
who already has this working.
Anyway ... I just update to IE 6 which seems to have disabled
bookmarklets. I can drag it to the links bar andeven though I
say Yes its ok to add it, it seems to just disappear into the
void. Anyone know anything?
So I have most of the code for this but I can't test the pesky
thing. Arrggh!

"I could have switched LibraryLookup over to this technique, but
never did because it only works with Amazon. I've always liked the
idea that LibraryLookup can also work with isbn.nu and All Consuming and other book
sites. (It'd be cool if they all emulated Amazon's metadata pattern,
but they don't.) Still, in the context of this excellent new WorldCat
hack, I thought the non-ISBN-dependent solution might be useful. So
here it is:

Most excellent - nice work, everyone! Another ringing endorsement
for open, web services-based back-ends for library catalogs.

Password Generating Bookmarklet
Password Generating Bookmarklet
09/07/2004 10:24 AMPassword generator
bookmarklet: This is pretty brilliant. Boo
kmarklets are the neatest things.
I wrote a bookmarklet to make up passwords for me. It asks for my
master password, which is all I have to remember, and uses it to make
a unique password for each site. It even types the password into any
password fields on the current page for me, whether I'm registering
for a new account or logging in on a subsequent visit. [...]
How does it work? It gets the hostname from the page's URL and
mixes it together with your personal master password using a little
cryptographic magic we call MD5. It will always get the same result if
given that hostname and master password, but will never get that
result if either changes. (Well, once in a few billion times it
might.)
Just don't lose sleep at night worrying about MD5 cracks.

Nic Woolf's single-signon bookmarklet
Nic Woolf's single-signon bookmarklet
09/07/2004 12:16 PM
As has been
widely noticed
in recent days, Nic Wolff's
password generator is a
brilliant hack. It hashes a passphrase with the domain name of the
site you're on and fills in the password field on the page. Each
site's password is unique; you need only remember a single passphrase;
the passphrase is only handled locally. Sweet.
...The bookmarklet solution to the password
problem
The bookmarklet solution to the password
problem
09/06/2004 02:38 PMAnyone who makes heavy use of the internet has run in to
the password problem: dozens of user accounts on sites with varying
degrees of trustability, leading to an unmanageable proliferation of
username and password combinations. The temptation is to use the same
combination on multiple sites, but doing so opens you up to the
horrifying prospect of a security flaw in one site compromising al of
your other accounts.
I was burnt by this a few years ago: a small community
forum on which I was a member was cracked, and my account was then
used to log in to another larger forum to which I had administrator
acccess. Thankfully no permanent damage was done, but it taught me a
valuable lesson in password security. Since then I've maintained a
number of different combinations each with a different level of
associated trust: if my account on Joe's random forum is cracked it
won't lead to the compromise of my Amazon account!
Even different tiers of passwords aren't ideal though, and
that's why Nic Wolff's Password generator
bookmarklet (via 43 Folders) has
me so excited. Nic's bookmarklet pops up a JavaScript prompt box
asking for your "master" password, then MD5s it against the domain of
the current login page and inserts the resulting hash in to any
password fields on the page. A single password can be used for dozens
of sites without any risk of a compromise of one account affecting the
others. It's brilliant.
There are a couple of minor flaws in the bookmarklet: the
master password prompt is in plain text rather than masking your input
with asterisks, and the bookmarklet could leave you high and dry if a
site changes the domain on which their login form resides without you
noticing. The first could be solved by extending the bookmarklet to
append a "master password" field to the page using the DOM, while a solution to the
second would require some kind of server-side store of the domains at
which the initial accounts were created.
Quibbles aside, it's an ingenious solution to a pervasive
problem.

.Pro problems
.Pro problems
04/08/2005 10:13 AM
As people have reported
widely, there has been a great deal of abuse of .Pro. .Pro was
supposed to be a top level domain dedicated to creating a credentialed
area for verified professionals and profession related domain names.
People have been registering obviously unrelated domains and going as
far as selling them on eBay. This clearly violates the spirit of the
agreement, but it is still unclear whether anyone is technically
violating the agreement. ICANN has been criticized for not policing
.PRO especially in light of ICANN approving new sponsored top level
domains. As Michael Palage pointed out in his comments during the
board meeting, ICANN staff is currently investigating the issues and
they will come back with the facts and the board will discuss any
appropriate actions.

Argyriou uncovers what seems to be a serious problem either with
California voting machines or the vote tallying system:
The Secretary of State's summary of votes on the Davis recall
shows three counties--Alameda, Kern, and Plumas--that apparently had
zero voters who didn't vote on the recall. Not one. All
three counties used Diebold machines. Other counties ranged from 0.5%
to 10.3% of voters not voting on the recall.

Some land problems
04/01/2005 04:49 AMMy post last month about free land, Get yer free land!, has landed
(har har) me in a tricky spot. I now seem to be the fifth Googe
response for free land which is leading to strange emails from people.
Two excerpts:
I would like to request more information about the free land. I'd like
too know how I could get in on it also.
And today's missive, with (I hope) some typos:
would love to move from calif to on of the places that has free land .
But i have quistions like I have two foster bays I need to know what
that county would give to them to live on. The other thing is do they
have places to rent until you build. the other is could you place a
mudular or moble home on the land to live in while you get a job and
you feel me.
I updated the post. I don't know about the free land, I only link to
it. And I don't want to feel anyone.

that I've been worrying about (but not talking about) for quite some

because we only fetch a feed once regardless of how many subscribers
we have to it. Desktop aggregators can't do that, of course, and end
up generating huge amounts of traffic to sites...

Apple has released the November 2004 gcc3 updater, available (upon
free
registration) at connect.apple.com. This updater fixes the problems
with
the gcc3 compiler in XCode 1.5. If you are using XCode 1.5, you
should
install this updater. (The updater will update correctly for users
with
an untouched XCode 1.5, and also for users who installed the
workaround which
the fink project had previously recommended.)
We would like to thank Apple for responding to our reports about this
matter, and working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

Workaround for gcc problems.
12/19/2004 03:50 PM
The version of gcc included with XCode 1.5 is known to produce
incorrect output from c++ code under certain circumstances.
Fink now has a mechanism to warn users about this, and Fink will soon
refuse
to use the "broken" gcc to compile packages which are known to
have this problem.
If you have already upgraded XCode to version 1.5, there is a
workaround,
described here
and here .
If you have not yet upgraded, you should consider remaining with
XCode version 1.2 until the problem has been resolved.
