Tamil.net links xTamil tool
I’m overwhelmed with happiness after I saw my Google analytics report today. This blog and the new tool which I wrote xTamil - English to Tamil convertor (Unicode) are linked in a Tamil portal site Tamil.net. They also list numerous no. of phonetic English to Tamil Unicode convertor, I promise you all that my tool will be unique after the completion (will take a month or two).
English to Tamil convertor (Unicode)
Atlast, I finished my first verison of English to Tamil unicode convertor(Transliterater). What I planned to do was bit different than the one which is available now. Hope I will get the time to upgrade my unicode convertor( or Transliterater) to unique tool within a month.
Clean yahoo webmail without Ad's
Today, I have uploaded my second Greasemonkey scripts to userscripts, Yahoo webmail++ . This will remove (hide) the advertisements in your yahoo webmail, the one at the top and the small ads on the left side. Initially I was trying to do something similar to Gmail Airskin, but unfortunately yahoo uses lot of tables, which I find difficult to finish the script, at this stage it will remove only the advertisements and I will try to update the script soon.
Safari for Windows
Finally Apple offers Safari for Windows, I am on my Safari now!. But there are bugs in Windows version of Safari, please go through the Techrunch link. Here is my own list (Though! I am newbie to Safari), First thing I did was searching webdeveloper plugins for Safari, I tried HTML Tidy extension for Safari!, Safari crashed after downloading. Second, I can’t able to browse Yahoo mail beta (it says it can’t open https link, that is weird), Gmail compose message page doesn’t look good as it does in IE/Mozilla.
Why does my dreamweaver look so beautiful?
I don’t find an alternative title. Like anyone out there, I envy Textmate features where it is present in all the screencasts for PHP & RoR out there. So, I started looking for a Textmate alternate on windows, and came to this post Textmate envy. I tried the font Monaco (Textmate’s default), which looked beautiful in Firebug but not in Dreamweaver. Filled with dissapointment, I google again for a download for the font Monaco, then, eureka! I found this link, Programmers font. Which means, I am not alone, there are more people out there looking for the suitable replacement to Courier New (isn’t it time to change?). I have tried a few Monaca, Dejavu, Bitstream Vera.
My first Greasemonkey script
Ok. My first Greasemonkey script is available from userscripts.org (http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/9740)
I have been using Greasemonkey for more than a year. Recently I downloaded 2 userscript, GMail superclean and Gmail air, which inspired me to write a script.
Migrating from blogspot
I am happy to join the wordpress community. I will post useful snippets and ideas on this blog. So keep an eye on my blog! (hehe).
