Heard about the recent server crash, and I also fell a bit alerted by this incident, because I as the web hosting providers don’t do regular backup…. anyway what am I going to talk about now? Bookmarklets, we all know them, there new, hip, and full of color ….
What are bookmarklets? Little javascript snippets that you bookmark and use them on any website… sounds fun? Check out wikipedia for more info about them….
Why? Because they are useful, free, and sexy… (Sounds like cheap porn to me)
An example bookmarklets: cookie
The example above doesn’t work because I used an encoded javascript, and not the clear text javascript in the url because wordpress filters it out…. but you can bookmart it and remove the https://www.darknet.org.uk out of it…
short article on short scripts… a list of websites that contain bookmarklets:

www.bookmarklets.com

http://ostermiller.org/bookmarklets/
p.s. thinking to develop a bookmarklet? Keep it under 500 characters…

Man, you done been bookmarked, rss’d and iGoogled by me :)
BTW – I hate how wordpress moderates code within posts. I guess it cuts down on splogs though…

I used to host at home in the UK with a static IP, but trust me in Malaysia with the quality of the ISP’s here, it’s not even an option.
I’ll most likely get a VPS and sort it out (will have root access on it anyway).
Cheers!

bookmarklets are a great resource. the gnucitizen technika firefox add-on has support for saving/modifying bookmarklets, and the new version (1.3) also has support for command-line scripting, sharing scripts, and paths.
you’ll also want to check out rsnake’s security bookmarklets, bmlets, blummy, bookmarklets every blogger should have and these firefox add-ons: flat bookmark editing and openbook / update bookmark

@fak3r
feel like helping me set up a propper
web host some time?
I used to host all my apps from home
with a custom made, python based web server.
I didn’t feel like paying for a static IP so I made
the server regulaly update my DNS with my new IP.
