Eventbug (alpha) Released

This is so good, I thought I’d repost this instead of just firing it out to Twitter.
Jan Odvarko and John Barton have been working hard on getting a Firebug extension together to track event listeners on DOM objects. The Firefox parts needed to make this work were tackled by Olli Pettay in heroic fashion. You [...]


Automated Screen Grab and Upload Version 2

Last February I posted a write-up on how to automate uploads of screen captures to a web directory for sharing with others. The idea was inspired by the popular Grabup software (which Google has now added a malware warning to so I’m not linking to it). Since then OS X 10.6(.1) has been released upon [...]

Copy Bookmarklet

I found a cool little feature this morning while poking around in Firebug’s command line code. If you expand the Console’s command line to the large area (using the little up arrow on the right of the command line), you can enter a block of text, nicely formatted. This is probably not news to anyone. [...]


How do you surf the firehose?

A colleague asked me how I stay on top of the constant surge of information produced by Mozilla and Firebug and whatever else I follow. The question was a good one in and of itself and I replied with my little list of things I read and said I might blog it, because it could [...]

Firebug 1.4 Icons

As we close in on Firebug 1.4 to coincide with the release of Firefox 3.5, we have a chance to redo some of the icons that are in place.
IRC user Templarian mocked up this design using the Silk icon set from FamFamFam. I think it looks pretty sweet.

He’s also started a discussion on the Firebug [...]


Firebug 1.4a20. The Homestretch.

John B. uploaded Firebug 1.4a20 (xpi link, will ask to install in Firefox) to getfirebug.com/…/releases yesterday and I’ve been playing around with it today to see what was what. So far, it looks good. A couple of minor outlying things are still outstanding. Open in New Window from the status icon isn’t working yet — [...]


7 things

Curse you, Beltzner! You’ve memed me. With each one of these I participate in, the less people will believe me when I tell them that I don’t usually go for these things. It’s a vicious cycle.

afk Dec 23-Jan 2

Just a note that I’ll be generally offline or away from the computers for the duration of the holidays. I’ll still check email and may even do a little coding for fun but IRC response may be sluggish, delayed and possibly drunk.
Happy Holidays everybody!

PS, to all my bearded brothers and sisters out there. Good work [...]


ABC Meme

I don’t usually do these meme things, but I saw this one on Planet via Ehsan’s blog (by way of Benjamin’s) and thought it’d be a fun use for my WikifyTabs add-on… an add-on in sore need of an update to produce HTML links instead of just MediaWiki. In any case, this was surprising. That’s [...]
