Wikipedia search fails for the simplest of spelling mistakes. This Greasemonkey script adds a “Did you mean” option to Wikipedia search. Install it here.
I’ve always found it difficult to follow Twitter conversation threads.
So I’ve written a Greasemonkey script to automatically retrieve and display nested replies. The script recursively follows the “in reply to [user]” and gets the entire conversation thread. Install it here.
Note that Twitter links replies to the last update made by the original poster, so some threads may appear broken.
My feeds can overwhelm me if left alone for a day or two. [If there was] a way to order all unread items by a Bayesian Filter based on prior articles I’ve clicked on, shared or starred, .. I could read [only] the top 100 or so items and mark the rest as read.
Google has a neat transliteration tool, which allows Hindi (or other Indian scripts) to be typed using the English alphabet. For instance “mera” is transliterated to “मेरा” (Hindi font support needed)
I’ve used that to write gIndic, a Firefox extension which provides transliteration service on any website. Like the Google service it supports Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. It works on both Firefox 2 and 3.
You should now see the gIndic icon - the letter “A”. To start transliterating, click on the “A” icon and choose your language. Click on “A” icon and choose the “Default” option when you want to type in English again.
Type a word and hit a space to translate it. It works on input and textarea tags.
