    They made me an offer I didn’t refuse.

  • New browser extension: AutoAuth

    AutoAuth is an extension for Mozilla-based Web browsers that automatically submits HTTP authentication dialogs when you’ve chosen to have the browser save your login information. (If you’ve already told the browser what your username and password are, and you’ve told it to remember that username and password, why not just have it automatically submit it…

  • Shortcuts are people too

    Update: URL Fixer was acquired and is now hosted at http://urlfixer.org/ While I was reading over the comments at Lifehacker’s post on URL Fixer, I came across this critique: […] I’ve run into one little problem with this sucker.

  • Slashdotter Updated: 1.8.9

    I’ve updated Slashdotter to accommodate the changes that Slashdot made to their HTML. Thanks to all who brought bugs to my attention.

  • Slashdotter 1.8.6

    Slashdotter has been updated to fix a bug introduced in version 1.8.5. Comments that were condensed (i.e., only showing title, author, score) in threaded mode could not be retrieved via AJAX as Slashdotter was supposed to allow. That bug has been fixed, and the implementation has been made better than it was before it was…
