Medal Of Honor - Collectors Edition :))

I was wondering if I would buy the game, I would get the bundle? It’s hard to say … but do creatures like “this” exist???

I’ll let you decide …

Firefox Mouse Gestures and FireBug

Recently I played around a little bit the “Mouse Gestures” addon for Firefox. Well at first it can be a bit weird and hard to handle, but I think that after some practice it can simplify and boost your surfing experience a lot, by saving you from extra keyboard shortcuts.

The extension installed and worked well on Linux, MacOS and Windows version of Firefox.  You can get it right here .

It’s definitely a nice piece of code. After installing ‘visiting’ the configuration panel of the addon is the must to make it fit your own needs.

Give it a try, because it worths it.

Another precious addon especially for Web Developers, but not only is FireBug. You can analyze, change, view any single element in a web page. It’s definitely one of the best tools developing JavaScript (ajax applications). You can get it right here .

Simple ‘hack’

Ever wanted to download all the photos in located in one album on PhotoBucket.com ? If the answer is positive then here is my very own and very simple trick to do it.

All you need is a browser and the little downloader named wget. Linux users most probably have it on their systems, and windows users can get it from here.

Now what this ‘hack’ consists of? Go to the PhotoBucket album you want to download and chose the “View All” to get a page with all the photos. Now view the source of the page and check the last “urlcodeN” where N is the total number of photos. Write down this or keep it in your mind, and paste the following script in your browsers address bar and replace the N with your number of photos.

javascript:var wnd=window.open(”about:blank”); for(var i=0;i<N;i++){ wnd.document.write(document.getElementById(”urlcode”+i).value+”<br>”); }

Now press [Enter] and wait until the script finishes. It can take a few seconds.

What this script will do anyway? First of all it will open a new window with blank contents, and it will write all the “paths” to the photos inside it, each on a new line.

Now that you have all the download paths to the photos, copy and paste the contents into a text file and open a terminal (windows users a command prompt - cmd) navigate to the directory where you saved the file with the list, and execute “wget -i saved_urls.txt” and sit back. This will download all the files. Windows users make sure that you have wget in your path else the command won’t work.

It’s great to create a new directory and place the “saved_urls.txt” inside that, and this way you already organized the photos.

This works 100% all the time, and you can have the photos you wanted almost with no effort.

Enjoy

The script can be improved to prompt for the number of files, and this way we transformed it into a “bookmarklet” script!

Here is the improved version:

javascript:var n = prompt(’Enter the number of photos:’,0); if(n != null && n > 0) { var wnd=window.open(”about:blank”); for(var i=0;i<n;i++){ wnd.document.write(document.getElementById(”urlcode”+i).value+”<br>”); }}

You can put the last version in your Firefox “bookmarks” toolbar, and have it just a click away, when you want to get some photos.

We always get what we want, because we can!
