[DELICIOUS/STUMBLEUPON] Delicious Stumbles crossposting tool

Last Greasemonkey script this week :)

With Delicious Stumbles I get all of the super-useful features I like about delicious (speed, recommended tags) but I also teach StumbleUpon more about what I like without having to spend all that time cutting-and-pasting between two accounts.

  • Submit a page you’ve saved to delicious to StumbleUpon using the same URL, title, tags and description
  • Use delicious’ super-quick tagging features instead of StumbleUpon’s really slow tagging
  • Stumble any of your existing stumbles
  • Stumble a page while you’re saving it to delicious

[AKISMET] Akismet Auntie Spam Helper for Akismet v2

Version 2 is out, but you probably already know that. Read more about it.

akismet auntie spam helper script for akismet administration

Akismet Auntie Spam is a maintenance script for WordPress administrators. One of the problems with the Akismet spam protection service is that sometimes it misidentifies a real comment as spam. WordPress has a spam recovery console that I like to call the spam inbox.

Have you ever stuck your hand as far back at you can into the crannies of your couch and pulled out what you found? That’s kind of what going into the default Akismet spam inbox is like. It’s a dark and evil place, filled with things that will make your eyes burn. You only wanted to find the quarter you lost, but before you know it your hand is stuck and something is touching you back.

Akismet Auntie Spam is a kind old lady who will come to your house and give it a thorough cleaning. She’s not afraid of the dark corners, particularly the spam inbox because she knows exactly how to handle the creepy crawlies hiding out of sight.

[PHOTOBUCKET] Log Me In Already!

Takes you directly to your album if you visit http://photobucket.com while already logged in.

Because it's too annoying to have to click "My Album" every time.

[GMAIL] Quickly Open Compose Mode

Turns off clutter when directly composing gmail messages (IE: clicking on a mailto link)

One thing that annoys me about Gmail is how slow it can be to load. This becomes a real problem when you force all mailto: links to open in Gmail. Gmail Quick Compose redirects all "compose mode" links to have the tf=0 parameter. That makes Gmail load faster.
