I’ve updated BetterSearch, my Firefox/Flock addon, to version 1.21. Here’s what’s new:

• Compatible with Flock 2 beta+.
• FIX: Action icons are back.
• FIX: Delicious support unbroken! It’s glorious.
• FIX: MSN/Live support works again.
• FIX: Statusbar tooltip was showing the wrong version number. Silly thing.
• FIX: Made some minor enhancements to Google URL normalisation.
• FIX: Removed remnant code (”big icons” etc.).
• CHG: Removed support for everything but Yahoo!, Google, MSN and Delicious. Sorry, don’t have the time anymore to keep track of anything else.

Go get the new version while it’s still hot! :)

Brings no new features to the table (sorry) but compatibility with Firefox 3.0.* and Flock 1.2.

Enjoy! (The new version should also appear on AMO soon.)

I’ve updated my Firefox addon BetterSearch to version 1.19. The update brings Firefox 3 and Flock compatibility and fixes the thumbnails for Yahoo! Search. Also, it now looks a little bit better due to new icons, c/o FamFamFam.

You remember BetterSearch, right? No? Oh, okay.

“An extension for Firefox and Flock which enhances Google (all international flavours, too), Yahoo Search, del.icio.us, MSN Search [...] by adding previews (thumbnails) and Amazon product images and info (type, price, rating for US/DE/UK/CA/FR products), a quick preview feature as well as “Open in New Window”, “Site Info” and “Wayback Machine” links to the search results.”

The other changes are minor and mostly under the hood to prepare for the next major version.

Go check it out!

Next up: better thumbnails. Work, work…

Outlook vs. DST. This is what happens when you try to schedule a meeting to handle the DST changeover in Outlook.

PS3 Home. [via the always excellent Antigames] Sony’s planned Home service looks pretty rad. Now let’s see how much of the glitz they can pack into the final product, eh?

YPLAA. YouParkLikeAnAsshole.com is a site with a real purpose. Period. It even has notices you can print out and attach to offending parked cars! Loving it.

Valentine’s card, JR style. I love his subtle ways.

Every year my company puts out a table full of construction paper, scissors, stickers and markers for folks to build their own valentine. This is why they shouldn’t let me near that table.

Security done right. Microsoft doesn’t fool around when it comes to strong passwords:
