Geocoding while blogger (2)
Welcome! As promised in my previous post, today I am releasing a Greasemonkey script that allows geocoding, using the geo microformat, in Blogger‘s interface. Remember my previous fit of creativity concerning names? Well, I’ve decided to name this one InsertGeo (don’t laugh at me, just click on this link if you want to install it…

Geocoding while blogger
Suppose you go somewhere cool on vacation —it has to be cool enough so as to trigger show-off reflexes. Blogging about it, you’d think how nice would be that your mother readers could click on something to have the location displayed on a mapping service (Google Maps, Yahoo Maps and the like). Let’s envision some…

Script updates
UnitFormat and InsertUnit, the sibling scripts from the series Greasemonkey and Microformats have been updated to reflect a little addition to the underlying measurement unit microformat: now, null units are supported (with unit name null) when converting among bases or from/to roman numerals.

How’s that for a beginning? The previous post ended abruptly in a cliffhanger-wannabe fashion, suggesting great…

Welcome to the third installment in this series about microformats and Greasemonkey! In the last episode, after failing spectacularly at providing a not too long rant on the subject at hand (and even omitting completely the expected Greasemonkey bit), I boldly introduced a barebones measurement unit microformat proposal. Today, after deftly inserting another split infinitive…

Greasemonkey and microformats (2)
Welcome back! Today I am going to rant —briefly, I promise— about microformats and try to cobble together a simple one to denote measurement units. So there! As I said in the previous post, microformats are small pieces of self-significant HTML that may be used to embed automatically parseable information in a web page. They…

Greasemonkey and microformats
This is going to be the first of a tiny series of overly technical posts which may only matter to a number of persons so small it may indeed turn out to be negative. Meaning this might (just might) not matter even to me. Anyway, it’s been fun in a twisted way. Enjoy. Greasemonkey is…
