FTP Upstream Script Update

Earlier this week, I quietly released a revision to my ftpUpstream script for the OPML Editor. Details are available and comments or questions should be posted here. The main change was to add a prompt-based method for obtaining user settings instead of requiring the user to manually edit the OPML Editor database.

Yabfog Tools Update

I’ve updated Yabfog Tools for the OPML Editor. It’s a minor update to turn off the automatic re-installation of the new conversions since this is no longer necessary with the new updating procedure in the OPML Editor.

Thanks to iconophobia and the inlineRSS plugin for some code and ideas.

OPML Pages and OPML Sidebar Revisions

OPML Sidebar Revisions I made some revisions to my OPML sidebar hack. I added a more graceful failure when the checkCache function cannot retreive the OPML file, and I also changed the $maxage variable so that its value can be passed via the function call. In addition, I changed the HTML output to be expandable/collapsible… Continue reading OPML Pages and OPML Sidebar Revisions

Firefox Extensions Pocket Lint

A few Firefox items I need to record: Hacking Firefox Extensions–ExtremeTech Feature Bookmarks Synchronizer When Bookmarks Synchronizer stops autosynchronizing: When Firefox is started, the bookmarksftp.browsercount is incremented. When Firefox exits, bookmarksftp.browsercount is decremented. Every time Firefox ends abnormally, bookmarksftp.browsercount does not decrement. Autosynchronization only occurs when the browser count is zero. So… Type about:config in… Continue reading Firefox Extensions Pocket Lint
