This is my first GreaseMonkey script for public release. This script will allow you to quickly locate a domain within the search results of a Google, Yahoo!, or Bing Search by highlighting the whole result. After installing this script, you will need to edit the variable site within the script itself otherwise all results will be highlighted. You can also optionally edit the color variable to change the highlight color.

Link Alert: My Favorite Firefox Add-on
Jun 12th
I’ve seen plenty of posts where people have listed the “Top 10″, “20 Best”, “X Must Have” Firefox add-ons for (insert profession here). I’ve thought about these types of posts and thought that instead of posting another list, I’d just share my favorite Firefox Add-on I use.
Be a part of a world record attempt by downloading Firefox 3.0 on June 17th, 2008
Jun 15th
I was reading some science & tech news postings at google today and came across an article posted at ChannelWeb. The purpose of the article is to promote Mozilla’s efforts to set a Guinness World Record highest number of software downloads in a single day with the release of the new Firefox 3.0 web browser on June 17th, 2008.
For those of you living under or a rock, or hopelessly devoted to Microsoft, or if you just have never heard of it, Firefox is an award-winning open-source web browser from Mozilla. According to the W3C statistics, Firefox currently has a 39.1% market share of web browsers as of April 2008. When compared separately to the two major versions Internet Explorer (6 and 7), Firefox is the most popular browser in use on the internet. I can’t say for sure when I first started using Firefox, but it’s been at least 3-4 years, if not more, and I havn’t looked back since. I am a strong supporter of Firefox for a number of reason, most of which come from a web development standpoint. I thoroughly enjoy Firefox mainly because it has better support for web standards. (Read more about Web Standards in my post “We’re getting NAKED!! But don’t get too excited.“) Not only that, but as an open-source web browser, Firefox has a plethora of user-developed add-ons and themes available to customize your the look, feel, and performance of your browser. One of my favorites is the Web Developer Add-On (for obvious reasons). There are plenty of other add-ons for assisting with bookmarking features, managing feed subscriptions, toolbars, search tools, social networking management, and many more. See the full list of Firefox Add-ons.
