hid.im bookmarklet in action

Here’s an example of a decoding of a PNG made through hid.im.

The decoding was done with the provided bookmarklet on Firefox 3.5 and the image is an example provided by a Slashdot user at tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1303479&cid=28703011

The torrent, by the way, is a prefectly legal OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 win32 torrent taken from the OpenOffice.org website.

Menu from Mac Chromium 3.0.194

Looks like although not yet ready, bookmark editing is coming up on the Mac version of Google’s browser. This contextual menu was not present at all a couple of days ago at the beginning of July (in 3.0.192) and popped up around the 7th of the month (with (3.0.193).

On the other hand there’s still no drag n dropping of links into the bookmark bar.

How to use Delicious with Google Chrome (or Chromium) on a Mac

Pubblicato il: 24/06/2009 — Tematiche: chromium,del.icio.us,english,idee,immagini,informazioni

Right now the Mac edition of the Chrome browser unfortunately doesn’t allow its users to add bookmarklets nor to modify existing bookmarks.

This means that it is impossible to install the Delicious bookmarklets that make so fast and easy adding bookmarks and using the service’s features.

However, there is a workaround: by modifying the file in which Google’s browser saves its bookmarks you can get a Delicious-enabled Chrome (or Chromium).

Here’s a proof:

3) Rename it Bookmarks (with a capital B and no extension)

~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/
(if you are using Google Chrome)
or to
~/Library/Application Support/Chromium
(if you are using Chromium)

Pac-Man with Google Charts

It’s been surely already done elsewhere, but it’s still a good exercise in using Google Charts and specifically matching percentages with color palettes. Check the HTML source for the syntax.
Have fun.
