• Downloading YouTube videos

  I saved the bookmarklet link here, http://1024k.de/bookmarklets/video-bookmarklets.html.

  Now, when on YouTube, I can execute ‘!vid’ ( you may need to enter something else, like ‘!video bookmarklet’, depending upon your set of local bookmarklets ), and download the video easily!

  This is especially useful in case of long videos so that you don’t have to stream later.

   

• Wordpress Admin List views

  Navigate through items in list views (e.g. edit.php) in Wordpress Admin.

  wp : a.row-title,td.media.column-media>strong>a

   

• Backup and move your gleeBox settings

  If you use gleeBox in more than one browser (on the same or another machine), you can export your settings and then import them in the other browser via Options.

  This means you won’t have to create your favorite esp visions or scrapers again in the other browser.

  This also works between Chrome and Firefox.

   

• Github Dashboard and Commits

  Super tweaked selector for Github.

  Selects issue, wiki or commit links on Dashboard, issues on issue list and commits in projects’ “Commit” view

  github.com : .message>a:not(a:contains(Compare)),a:contains(issue),code>a,a:contains(News Feed):not(.selected):not(.feed),a:contains(Your Actions):not(.selected),div.message>pre>a,a.issue_title,span:contains(started) + a,span:contains(created) + a

   

• !inspect command

  This new command in version 1.5 allows you to quickly get the jQuery selector an for element. You can then run that selector in jQuery mode and modify it to create an esp vision or scraper.

  Here is an example to try on twitter.com:

  !inspect direct

  This will return the jQuery selector for the right side nav menu-items. Try running the selector in jQuery (*) mode.

   

• Google Analytics

  google.com/analytics : div.menu-item>a

  Selects menu items in the left nav bar.

  Inspired by this tip.

   

• Touch Arcade

  toucharcade.com : h2>a,a:contains(Older),a:contains(Newer)

   

• NYTimes Movie Review

  :nytm the crazies

  This will search nytimes movies section for the movie “the crazies”. I use this with the following ESP vision to quickly get to a movie review

  movies.nytimes.com/gst/movies/msearch.html : a:contains(Review)

   

• The Big Picture

  boston.com/bigpicture : .bpImage, h2>a

  Isn’t perfect but you can always scroll down a little bit using the arrow key (while in gleebox)

   

• :urb

  :urb afaik

  This will search urbandictionary.com for afaik

  For all those moments when you wonder what that *urban* acronym means.
