I did kind of imply that I would make improvements this Greasemonkey script that adds a “copy this link to Yahoo My Web” functionality to del.icio.us. Specifically, that the script should copy tags and descriptions as well, not just the link and the title. Unfortunately, I had to rewrite the whole thing to get it to work like I wanted it to. So don’t blame the author of the original script for any mistakes I may have made. Install: delMyWeb.user.js

User scripts roundup. Three new ones, lots of changes to old ones. First the new and semi-new:

• googLogin.user.js [screenshot] – Google user persistance thing, by request. Useful for households with several google/gmail accounts, provides a select box for multiple user id’s, just like yhooLogin.

• flickrLogin.user.js [screenshot] – Flickr user persistance thing, which I should have thought of a long time ago, in a household with five Flickr users residing or visiting regularly.
• FlickrMail.user.js [screenshot] – FlickrMail from user icon, adds a link to FlickrMail a user to the the little mouseover-popup on their user icon.

Updates:

• yhoologin.user.js – Yahoo user persistance thing: return of the revenge of the attack of the ugly hack: it now works with Yahoo! Mail. I also added a simple timesaving thing which has been incorporated into all the similar new scripts. Selecting a user id from the dropdown will now put the focus back to the password field. All those saved clicks add up. I’m just doing my part in the fight against entropy, postponing the heat death of the universe.
• flickrPhotoPageEnhancer.user.js – Flickr photo page enhancer has also been updated, as detailed here. Some pretty important changes were made, so you should intall the newest version.

(Greasemonkey? See all of my userscripts.)

yhoologin.user.js

I share a computer, and we both have multiple Yahoo! accounts. This Greasemonkey script replaces the login form on any Yahoo page with a select box with your Yahoo ID’s pre-populated. The user has to edit the script to put their ID’s in there before it will work. (More of my userscripts.)
