Enhancing Twitter

12:37:00 PM by Corey

Found some enhancements you can do to Twitter, if using Firefox browser.
This will give you the result
shown in the screenshot. (removed all names for privacy)

In summary, when you are done setting this up, you will have nested replies to easily follow conversations, embedded media, tweets will auto-update (no longer have to hit refresh), a RT button next to each post to auto-fill in the text box, short URL's will be expanded, and never have to hit a "more" button: the page will keep expanding automatically as you scroll down...








1) install firefox browser if you're not using it yet, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
2) install greasemonkey extension for firefox, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748
3) restart firefox
4) install this script for greasemonkey,
@troynt's Twitter Script
5) install this script for greasemonkey,Endless Tweets
6) refresh twitter website
7) on the right side of the page, underneath the orange RSS feed button, there's a checkbox to auto-update. make sure it's checked if you want twitter to auto-update new tweets.

Coming soon…

i am currently working on moving my blog to my own website…  coreyrabinowitz.com. 

also, with this post, i am testing windows live writer blogging tool.  it seems that it analyzes your blog, regardless if it’s hosted with live.com or not, figure out the layout, and is able to publish up to it.  very interesting…  might blog more often then if i don’t have to actually log in to blogger every time.

What's going on at the Sharper Image website?

12:43:00 PM by Corey

Everyone enjoys playing with the fun gadgets and toys at their local Sharper Image. When I was following a link over to them today, this is what you are greeted to. The only link is at the bottom there in small print "For More Information" and that is an email link to info@sharperimage.com.
Anyone heard any rumors or have speculation of what it could be?

*Update*- i just read that this has been on their site since mid june 08...

Is that website down?

8:40:00 AM by Corey

I found out about this website... it basically tells you if a website is down or if it's something on your end.
