Downloading YouTube videos

Ankit — Mon, 24 May 2010 18:55:08 +0000

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

Ankit — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 17:44:31 +0000

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

Ankit — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:25:07 +0000

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

Ankit — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:06:40 +0000

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

Ankit — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:49:08 +0000

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

Ankit — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:38:55 +0000

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

Selects menu items in the left nav bar.

Inspired by this tip.

NYTimes Movie Review

Ankit — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 16:35:15 +0000

: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

Ankit — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 19:51:39 +0000

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

Ankit — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 11:15:56 +0000

:urb afaik

This will search urbandictionary.com for afaik

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