Create a Firefox Search Plugin with only a right click
I don’t know about you but I am a huge Craigslist fan, and when I realized that I could search for eBay items in the Firefox search box but there was no easy way to create a search plugin for Craigslist I went searching. What I found was this really cool plugin that allows you to take any search box on a site and make a specialized search plugin out of it with only right click. On the image above you see me making my own Detroit Craigslist plugin. Add to search bar lets you add Firefox search functionality to just about any site.
Keep those iPhone urges at bay with “Home” for Windows Mobile
Are you stuck with a Windows Mobile phone whether it be a newly purchased phone or a new contract? Or maybe you just like the network that you are on but are having some urges to have something a little iPhoneish. I use Verizon Wireless and have been trying to resist the urge to go buy a iPhone. For two reasons really, number one I just got a Treo 700wx a while back and cannot justify spending the extra cash for a iPhone. Also believe it or not Verizon Wireless’s network is really good here with EVDO speeds that are decent. Oh and of course I can install software without “jailbreaking” something. So I’ve tried some of the themes that make my phone act like a iPhone to keep the iPhone urges at bay only to be disappointed in the end.
Beat up your Alexa foe with Alexa Fight
So what good is Alexa? Their stats are only a guideline of traffic and unless you crave charts their stats can be rather boring. Well I’ll tell you what good they are. They are good for starting site fights, thats what. Just enter your site’s name in and your nearest foe, and watch your site get its proverbial rear get handed to it. A couple of stick figures fight it out in the name of your favorite site, taking blow after blow and dropping a little site blood. If you are lucky maybe you might just wipe the floor with your your web foe. The site records the last and top fights so you can have a rematch any time.
Your LOGO the Web 2.0 way
Need a logo? Generate a logo. Just enter the name of your site and click “Generar” (yeah it foreign) and Logo Generador creates your logo. Theres only a few selections available but that’s sure to grow.
Copy and Paste, only better, without the internet
Copy and Paste are functions each and everyone of use everyday but seldom do we ask can we do better? While other sites are bubbling about copying to the web we here think thats just plain dumb. To take your sensitive data and truck it to the internet for others to possibly see is stupid. Let alone the fact that those services end up costing you money. ClipDiary is a solidly built free tool that very simply allows you to capture your copy and pastes for later use. Whether you need something copied a few minutes ago or last week its all there. Clipdiary can log clipboard history and record datain several formats: plain text, RTF (Rich Text Format) and bitmap images (BMP). So, besides saving parts of text, you can easily make series of screenshots, and Clipdiary will save them for you.
Update up 10 social networks from HelloTxt
Updating social sites can be a chore depending on how many you take part in, thats why Hellotxt was created. Hellotxt makes it easy to update your social networks in one text blast. No need to register to another service (unless you would like hellotxt to remember your login and passwords) just type your login and password for each social network and hellotxt will post to 10 services that it can interface with. From Twitter, jaiku, Pownce, facebook, plaxo, and tumblr to some lesser know services like frazr, meemy, beemood, and gozub Hellotxt has got you covered. One strange omission is that MySpace is missing from the menu of choices. However if you want to play the social network update game HelloTxt is the name. I added HelloTxt to a new Social network tab using Stick so that I could easily update my Twitter and Facebook account.
Add a LinkedIn signature to your Gmail
So you can finally add a HTML signature to your web Gmail account. The “Gmail HTML Signatures” greasemonkey script allows you to automatically insert an HTML signature into your Gmail messages based on the email address that you are sending it from. While adding HTML signatures is cool all by itself, it also means that you can now add LinkedIn signatures to your outgoing email. Just go to your linkedIn Signatures section and copy and paste your html code. Then go back to your Gmail and click “Edit Signature” and paste.
Download torrents without additional software

Changes at NoHeat
First off let me apologize to my loyal readers who have been going
through a little NoHeat withdrawal while I catch up on some of my
deadlines. Between power outages, torrential snow, a dead furnace, and
a crazy work schedule I have every excuse not to keep NoHeat as current
and I know you would like. The good news is I have qued up some great
stories for next week which I think may make up for the brief absence.
In any case I refuse to put up filler content to keep the site rolling.
My theory is if its crap, it won’t get posted on NoHeat, I’d rather let
it sit with older content. After all it wouldn’t be cool tech if I
started adding fluff right? We gave a few writers a chance to help us
out, only to find that its very hard to find someone that can bring
someone that brings unique cool content. We’re going to add a couple
of full time writers, in particular Jenine. Look to hear from her on
the weekends. The other full time writer will be announced soon. We
will also be doing some spring cleaning again, some ads will disappear
and some will appear, the good news is that we will be making more
money and so the more money we make can be re-invested back into the
site. So let me just say thanks for reading and enjoy the surge in
content, hopefully we can keep it up for another couple of years.
