For those of you annoyed at how Google no longer provides excerpts for LiveJournal entries in its search results, you'll be pleased to see that they've launched Google Blog Search. For instance, you could read about my motorcycle adventures, or see jwz curse at unhelpful people.

It's straightforward to embed a Google searchything in your userinfo or ( Read more... )

If you're using either Opera 8.x (with UserJS enabled) or Firefox (with Greasemonkey), you can add this very simple script to kill the annoying "not logged in" message, which makes you click an extra link to show the username and password fields when you are logged out.

I've been recently thinking about various graphical ways to represent online communities, those in LJ in particular. There is a bunch of tools that build one sort of graph or another, but none seem to provide a good view of a community the user in question is a part of. While investigating this problem I've built a prototype tool that tries to ( Read more... )

I just submitted my first firefox search and of course it is LJ related... LJSeek is the folks that do the LJ specific search engine and I wanted a quick way to search all of Livejournal (at least the ones that allow spidering)... so I did a quick little firefox searchbar plugin:

Multiple-interest search

This tool allows you to find users with an arbitrary number of given interests, rather than the limited single-interest search LiveJournal currently provides.

In a vain attempt to recoup rusty programming skills, I've recently created a "friendsmap" app that gets the locations of an LJ user's friends/friends-of, tries to work out said locations' latitude/longitude by querying Google and Multimap, and displays the result on a Google Map. Beta release is available (along with source code) here: Leave a comment  60 

Here's another little AJAX toy - a latest image script. It's similar to most other LJ image scripts, except for a few major parts:

1. It automatically reloads every thirty seconds without a full page refresh, although the interface allows you to start, stop, clear, or manually refresh.
2. It allows the secure posting of an image with comment directly to ( Read more... )

AJAX OPML Generator

This is pretty much a ripoff of atrustheotaku's OPML-generating script. There is, however, one major difference: mine supports friends-only authentication for feeds. I've already used it to import my LJ list to my feed reader - and all my friends-only friends show up now too ( Read more... )

This is a little more descriptive than LJ's simple interface which counts the number of entries, ignoring their actual length. Of course, if you multitag, it can't separate the entry text. Anyway, it's pretty and your friends can see it, so if you're a tagger, go for it.
