Firecookie adds some much needed cookie viewing and manipulation tools to Firebug. It comes as its own Firefox extentension and adds a new “cookies” tab to your Firebug console. You can view cookies, manipulate them, remove them and even create new ones. It also plugs itself into Firebug search so you can easily filter down the list of cookies. Very handy extension. Thanks Jan!

Notchup aims to get you paid for doing interviews. It’s currently in private beta. Basically potential employers review your profile and make you an offer to come in for an interview. It can slurp up your LinkedIn profile which is nice. Also if you turn your friends on to NotchUp you can receive a 10% referral fee for each interview they do. You do have the option of hiding your information from independent recruiters or specific company’s (like your current employer). The site is free for job seekers and companies foot the bill for each interview. (more…)
I have been using Jing (by TechSmith) for months now to take on-the-fly screen captures and screen casts and sharing them with friends and colleagues. Prior to Jing I was (and still am) a big fan of SnagIt (also by TechSmith). If you’re familiar with SnagIt then you will notice that Jing picks up where SnagIt leaves off: Online sharing built in and its Free!

I found myself needing a simple entity conversion tool when working with XML files. Not finding exactly what I needed online I finally broke down and created my own. I refined it a bit and posted it up.
Check it out: Simple Entity Converter
Update: 12/18/07
I have been doing a little tweaking:
- Minor updates to the layout
- Broke the entity list into two groups, the predefined XML set and all the rest. I found converting the core XML entities can come in handy.
- I made the entity list selectable so now you can check the entities you would like to convert
- Added some toggle controls for each group so its easy to select or deselect them all.
Note: Conversion starts to get a little bit dicey at super high code points. Starting at about 900+, unless the character is listed in the selection table on the right it will automatically be translated to its numbered entity. I’m working on it.
This one caught me off guard. After upgrading from Prototype 1.6 RC0 straight to the final release I found that all my custom JavaScript code simply lay there dormant. Fighting off panic I did some quick googling and ran across this post detailing how custom events are now namespaced. Hopefully this post helps others out there who find themselves in the same situation.
//Wrong
document.observe("contentloaded", function () {...});
//Right
document.observe("dom:loaded", function () {...}); |
