Do you want this because their RSS feeds never include the link to the source? That irritates the poo poo outta me.

I'd like to request userscript or Chrome extension that would automatically load the story source of Gawker posts. In other words, I click on a Kotaku post in my reader with a blurb that ends with "From Maximum PC" or "Via Valve's Development Blog", with both of those being links to the source, and the extension automatically loads the source.

It seems possible (search for string "Via" or "from" followed by an hyperlink, load hyperlink).

Ideally I'd be able to add urls to whatever list and toggle it on/off.

I've got this working with Engadget and Kotaku, but on the others I'm having trouble finding posts with source or via links (I rarely read Gawker sites). Can you link an example on each site you'd like it to work on?

The Aphasian posted:

Noticed that if a link is before "via" it is normally the original source.

Example 1:

http://gizmodo.com/!5783391/turn-a-pair-of-30-headphones-into-a-300-pair

"DIY HiFi Orthodynamic Portable Headphones (aka Ribbon Driver Headphones) Does it Pew? via Hack a Day"

Example 2:
http://www.neatorama.com/2011/03/18/7-foot-wide-house-for-sale/

Similar to above.

I'm not sure how difficult complicated IF THEN statements get for extensions/userscripts; my only limited programming experience is using visual basic for various Access reports, forms and functions.

Thanks for taking a look at this in any case.

EDIT: and other times they just put the source in brackets ( http://lifehacker.com/!5783440/att-starts-blindly-sending-emails-to-unofficial-tetherers ).

Balls. Don't they have a style guide?

I have a bunch of MP3s that have art, but the art doesn't seem to be in the right format for most mp3 players to read. I'd like to change them, but I was hoping to request something that would pull the art, convert it to whatever the most common format is, then "re-assemble" the mp3? (Or at least point me towards a good program that can do it easily?)

Seven Round Things posted:

Okay, this mostly works for Engadget, Joystiq, and Gizomodo, but it's often breaking; their inconsistency is exceedingly irritating. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/99277 e: it also waits 3 seconds so as to work with the annoying ajax loading system.

It depends entirely on your MP3 player. iPods want the album art to be stored in the audio file's metadata, which is what a lot of programs, e.g. MediaMonkey, let you do. Other players might want a JPG file assigned in some bizarre way.
(My iPod Touch also can't handle progressive-scan JPGs because Apple is poo poo)

So in other words post what MP3 player you have.

I'm on a Mac, is there any tool that I can feed a text file to and have it wrap each word in order with html? Basically, if I gave it a file saying "here is a sentence" it would return the text file with:

code:

<a href="javascript:Q('here')">here</a> <a href="javascript:Q('is')">is</a> <a href="javascript:Q('a')">a</a> <a href="javascript:Q('sentence')">sentence</a

Thanks!

If you don't mind using terminal:

code:

#!/bin/bash

for word in $(cat $1);
do echo -ne "< href=\"javascript:Q('$word')\">$word</a> "
done

can be called from the command line like:

code:

script.sh textFile.txt > output.html

I'm using Opera so I'd like to avoid Greasemonkey specific scripts if possible.

Current versions of Opera should be able to support Userscripts. There are a handful of Firefox-specific commands in Greasemonkey, but most of the basic stuff (which is what you're looking for) should work fine in Opera.

A forum I visit recently added NSFW and SFW tags to each thread's title, which is making it quite difficult to browse. I was hoping a user javascript would be able to strip them away without too many problems but I'm having no end of trouble doing it.

I'm using Opera so I'd like to avoid Greasemonkey specific scripts if possible.

Here's the code that they use to display SFW and NSFW, which are contained in the link text only, not the actually destination URL:

code:

<span class="gen"><span style="color:#009900; font-weight:bold;">[SFW]</span>

...

<span class="gen"><span style="color:#990000; font-weight:bold;">[NSFW]</span>

Ideally I'd be able to replace the [SFW] and [NSFW] text with no text at all which would return the forum to the way it looked before. The problem only exists on the one php forum so if the script could be dormant except for that site it would be awesome but if it's too much work. If a user.css is the right answer, that'd be fine as well.

Flamadiddle posted:

Your problem is possibly that the [] characters are special in the case of regular expressions... When you replace them, try using \[ and \] instead of the plain character. Alternatively, could you hook into the DOM and style all spans with a class of "gen" or their child span elements to display: none? I'd have a go at this, but I've got no experience with Opera scripts.

Can you point me to the forum in question?

Okay, add this CSS for cndb.com:

code:

.gen {
  position: absolute;
  visibility: hidden;
}

Anyone with Stylish (not available for Opera AFAIK) who wants to achieve the same thing, here's a userstyle: http://userstyles.org/styles/45605/cndb-remove-worksafe-classifications

This is the closest thread I could find for my question. Is there an application that can make backing up easier? Point it to whichever folders, then to a hard drive, and it goes? Or should I just get an enclosure that does that with a button press (as long as I can set up individual folders for it to copy)?

Delirium posted:

So basically you want a program that automatically puts posts on twitter about the music you are currently playing?

From what i've read from the site you linked, this twitter dj application does not contain a shoutcast server, but instead listens to an existing shoutcast (/ icecast) server, reads all track info from this shoutcast steam and dumps it to twitter.

Are you planning to run a shoutcast server on this lan party, where this program should listen to? Or do you just want a winamp plugin (for example...) that sends all track info to twitter? In case you want the last option, there seems to be an existing plugin for this: http://www.winamp.com/plugin/twitter-plugin/221831

Out of curiosity what control did you use for the destinations? Some kind of listview that spawns panels?

epswing posted:

In any input field with focus? Isn't that bordering on keylogger?

Hoborg posted:

Each Destination is a UserControl with the textbox/button/checkbox widgets on, they then exist within a FlowLayoutPanel set to flow vertically.

Thermopyle posted:

No.

epswing posted:

Um ok...it's an app that listens to keystrokes no matter what you have in focus. Just because it doesn't write the keystrokes to a file, you're saying "it's not a keylogger." Ok, agree. But it's almost a keylogger. Which is what I said, "bordering on keylogger."

mobby_6kl posted:

I don't see how, wouldn't a keylogger require that the keys are being, you know, logged somewhere? This app would just listen for the events and substitute the two spaces for a dot. I'll give it a shot but can't promise anything as I'm in a phase where I try to do everything in pure C which I'm not too comfortable in yet.

thank you.
if possible, can you make it with some on/off-feature.
sometime you do need to use doublespace
