  • Über cool Safari add-on

    ·

    Sogudi is very similar to an application by [Brent Simmons][1] called [Huevos][2] but it’s much more tightly integrated with [Safari][3]. It basically provides URL shortcuts from the location field. It comes with a bunch of defaults and 2 that I quickly added were the following. fedex http://www.fedex.com/cgi-bin/tracking?action=track&language=english&cntry_code=us&initial=x&tracknumbers=@@@ maps http://maps.google.com/maps?q=@@@ Yes, you read that last one…

  • Minimum Requirements

    ·

    There’s no good way around it. Anyone who wants to use the Markdown tool will have to be running the latest version of [Radio][1]. The reason is so that the UserTalk Markdown renderer written by [Marc Barrot][2] will work. Marc’s script requires the kernelized `re` verb. This is only present in the Radio application v8.1…

  • Finding active tools

    ·

    I wrote a script for use in the Markdown.root tool. It’s purpose is to check and see if a tool is loaded given the name of the tool as a parameter. [Steve][1] says that I should just use [`user.tools`][2] but I think doing what I did is easier. If I used `user.tools.databases` I’d have to…

  • Silly changes for Markdown.root

    ·

    I made a bunch of silly changes tonight to the Markdown.root. Silly because they weren’t necessarily needed. Most have to do with changing what `MarkdownSuite.utils.getPrefs` returns. It now returns the complete path to the prefs table so `adrPrefs^ = [toolName]Data.user.prefs.[toolName]` instead of `[toolName]Data.user.prefs` . Many scripts to change for that. I updated the version number…

  • Markdown tool changes for activeRenderer

    ·

    I’ve made a number of changes to the way the Markdown tool interacts with [activeRenderer][aR]. Firstly, nothing has changed in the way that Markdown interacts and renders the weblog. The only changes were in how the Markdown tool deals with OPML files. There are 3 different ways of interacting with OPML files in activeRenderer. These…
