Greasemonkey script for GTAMotorcycle forum

OK so I’ve been learning jQuery and more serious JavaScript lately, and one of the things I’ve done is made a little script that helps my browsing of one of my favourite internet forums, GTA Motorcycle.

All this little script does is add some text from the first post in a thread, right into the search results. Usually the search results just have the thread title, but a little snippet from the first post might give you a better idea of what the thread is about. Screenshot below.

GTA Motorcycle UserScript

To install it, you need:

Firefox or Flock web browser.
Greasemonkey Add-On for Firefox
This script from UserScripts.org

Sorry Internet Explorer users, get yourself some Firefox action and welcome to the world of Add-On’s.

Check it out, any and all feedback is graciously appreciated.

Flickr Search Tagging – First Alpha Release

Introducing Flickr Search Tagging!

It’s a little utility that enables a couple of things:

Let’s you to propose tags for images that don’t belong to you on Flickr. Contributing tags if you want to help describe the image is often not possible, unless: you’re the owner, you’re a contact of the owner, or the person has allowed very permissive tagging rights.
Keeps your search queries around the tagging area. Queries are valuable, because you as a user took the time to contribute that text at some point. Now you can leverage that same text when you want to tag an image.
Tag your images with the proposed tags, or delete the proposed tags.

If this sounds novel and useful, it is Or at least, that’s what I’m trying to prove in my thesis.
