Haven’t done a link dump in for-ages, and still don’t have a linkblog going. Here’s a few bits and bobs I’ve been looking at lately.<\/p>\n
Simon Willison discusses<\/a> a very clever bookmarklet by Nic Wolfe<\/a> to help you manage your passwords. Click the bookmarklet and get prompted for a Master Password. This is combined with the domain of the website you are visiting to “create” a password for the site, which is auto-pasted into all password fields on the page. The “created” password is an MD5 hash of your master password and the domain name. This means your Master Password and your created password are never stored anywhere. Just use the bookmarklet from any browser, anywhere- use the same master password and you always create the same site password for any site, and every site is different.<\/p>\n Check out both links, including the comments at Simon’s site. There are a few issues with the bookmarklet. I’ve been taking a shot at resolving them. May have something to post soonish.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Been meaning to learn XUL, the UI language of Mozilla browsers, and other bits related to Firefox extension programming. Found a few resources: XulPlanet<\/a>, Firefox Extension Tutorial<\/a>, Mozilla Application Object Model reference<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n I also have a copy of Nigel McFarlane’s Rapid Application Development with Mozilla<\/a> on the way. I usually go for O’Reilly books, but their Mozilla Dev book is pretty out of date, an I’m interested in Firefox dev.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Remember Magic Eye Puzzles, aka Stereograms? Check out one in ASCII<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n dugh at sp.ookee.com has challenged all comers to a week of solid blogging<\/a>. Since I actually managed to post the last couple of days, I’m going to try and up the ante, and post every day in October. This post counts.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
