Finally the day has arrived when mms 1.1.0 has been released. After 9 release candidates the release is finally here. The last couple of months of only focusing on bugs has really payed off. Everyone was only fixing bugs which means that we where able to squaze in 67 bug fixes in 2 and a half month.

See photos of mms running in the flickr group.

This is a list of scripts that I have been collecting over a long period of greasemonkey use. The extension to firefox just keeps getting better and better all the time.

Flickr

Allsizes+ – Now with nag screen galore, but still very nice to snatch bigger resolution pictures.
Cross recommendations – This really makes browsing random pictures on flickr much more interesting.

Last.fm

Chart changes – See which tracks goes up and down in the most played tracks of yours.
Aaverage plays on artist pages
Lyrics – My favorite for last.fm, adds lyrics to the track pages.
Normalised charts – Show charts by amount of play in time instead of number of plays. Good for artists like Opeth with long songs
Top tracks on artist pages

IMDB

imdb runtime fix – Show runtime in a sane way instead of in minutes only
Enlarge actor images – on hover. Not really that useful, but the pictures are small.

Google/Gmail

Block unwanted results – like the damn Experts Exchange described here
Replace http with https – for better security

Found out that apparently flickr doesn’t allow you to save their pictures. They replace the path of pictures with this odd spaceball.gif picture. Luckily greasemonkey ones again comes to the rescue, and this time in a very nice way. Apparently some images on flickr can only be view in large for pro users or something like that, but this script adds back the all sizes and makes it easy to snatch high quality images from flickr

From this new found interest in greasemonkey, I decided to look for what other nice scripts there exists. If you use gmail you’ll like the change all mailto:// links to open in gmail and replace http with https (works for gmail, google calendar and a bunch of other sites).
