Old Posts
3-Apr, 2009
Hang on to your hats, folks. In early July of 2008, I got really drunk hastily decided to delete my entire blog decided to take a hiatus from blogging. As a result, I will be slowly adding old posts to this site when I find the time. My friend will be happy to know that, by doing so, I’m [sort of] cleaning up after the web-rot I created by killing all those posts removing such valuable information from the interwebs. I’m curious to see if Twitterfeed is going to scrape these old posts.
Rude Twitter Screenshot Leaked!

I am so signing up for this. Click on the image above for the full screen-shot.
Although there’s 2,146 Twitter applications/tools, some of us always go back to the basics when we feel the itch to tweet. The only downside is that “power tweeters” feel that the vanilla Twitter.com interface is lacking certain functionality. Well, most of the features mentioned in the previous link are already available through the power of JavaScript at userscripts.org.
If you use the Firefox web browser, for example, you can easily install a nice little add-on, called Greasemonkey. This add-on allows you to run site-specific JavaScript to enhance the look, feel, and functionality of just about any web page. So, I have jumped on the monkey-greasing bandwagon and provide 10 Twitter Greasemonkey scripts, including one written hacked by yours truly, “Twitter Highlight Retweets.” The titles are pretty self-explanatory and [unlike several scripts I've downloaded] these actually work…without further ado:
