Self-mastery

Friday, October 10th, 2008

So, I sort of feel like I’m going through Lent, but I’m not Catholic, so I don’t get a Mardi Gras.
I have decided to go through a fast, of sorts. At the beginning of this month, I drank my last soda for the rest of the month. That’s right: no carbonated drinks for me for [...]

Photos With Friends Facebook Application

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

So, around the beginning of the summer, I began to work on a Facebook application called Photos With Friends. The idea was that it would be really cool to see which of your friends are in the most photos with you. Well, it took me a few days to get it up [...]

Facebook Users like Myspace?

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

I recently read a post by Nick O’Neill on his allfacebook blog titled Do Facebook Users Have a MySpace Mentality?. Basically he was curious if Facebook users are like MySpace users who seek to get as many friends as they can without regards as to whether or not they actually know the person. I, personally, [...]

Twitter2Facebook

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

One of these days, I promise I’m going to write about something other than my Greasemonkey scripts. Today, however, will not be one of these days.
I recently subscribed to Twitter, which is a social networking site dedicated entirely to tell your friends what you’re doing. Well, I decided it would be great if I could [...]

Facebook Friend Menu

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Well, I have been programming like crazy lately. Just the other day, I promised to come up with a successor to my Facebook InfoBox script. Today, I am delivering that promise. Welcome Facebook Friend Menu.
This script has all the same features as its predecessor (plus a couple extra, of course), with a brand new design. [...]

Facebook Profile Menu

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Well, here comes a new Greasmonkey Script for Facebook. This one was designed because I saw a lack in the new design of Facebook. I really didn’t like that they took away the “My …” links on the left side of the page. On the other hand, I really liked the new drop-down menus. So [...]

Facebook Info Box

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

So, I’ve been pretty bored over the Christmas break (at least, until I got about ten new books for Christmas), so in my boredom, I came up with a great idea for another Greasemonkey user script for Facebook. This one was much more adventurous than my previous Facebook script.
I was inspired by the new popup [...]

Facebook Script

Monday, November 13th, 2006

The other day, I was talking to a friend, who mentioned that another friend had her birthday tomorrow.
“Really?,” I asked. “Why wasn’t it on Facebook?”
“It was.”
“Then why didn’t I notice it?”
So, I decided to create a small Greasemonkey script to move the Birthdays to the top of the page, and increase the font size.
Here’s a [...]

More Facebook changes

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Ok, well my last post was about Facebook, and so will this one. Facebook has decided to make another big change, but hasn’t quite implemented it yet. Until now, Facebook was only open to college students (faculty, stuff, alumni), high school students, and people working at a few businesses. Originally, of course, it was only [...]

Facebook Changes

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

Ok, so pretty much every college student in this country is familiar with the Facebook. Recently some changes have been made. Actually, some major changes. I’ve heard a lot of complaints. Let me go over some of the changes.
Mini-feed. There is now a new “feed” of changes that people make. This is, probably, the most [...]
