Social bookmarks greasemonkey script updated

September 22, 2008

Just a quick post to say I’ve updated the hosted wordpress social bookmarks script I wrote back along.  If you’re using this greasemonkey script, you may want to grab the update.

I’ve simply updated the links to all have rel=”nofollow” which they should be really (IMO).

Make Google Chrome your default browser in Vista

September 12, 2008

If you (like me) have tried clicking ‘Make Google Chrome my default browser’ in options > basic with no result, you’re probably as frustrated as I was.

If you’re running Vista, it’s simply a privileges issue, you need to -

  • Close Chrome
  • Right click the Chrome shortcut and select ‘Run as Administrator’
  • Accept the warning about running as administrator
  • Go to options > basic (as before)
  • Press the ‘Make Google Chrome my default browser’ button

This time it should work :)

You can now close the browser as administrator and launch it again with your normal user credentials.

On a side note, if you are having trouble making Skype aware of Opera as your default browser, this may help.

Goodbye my friend

August 13, 2008

Anyone who reads this blog, has simply dropped by at some time or knows me on other sites, may have noticed Dennis.  Dennis is the cat used in my avatar and also in the main image used at the top of this blog.

Unfortunately, this morning we buryed Dennis.  He was my pet and a great friend and I’ll miss him dearly.

RIP buster, we will all miss you :(
