While playing around with Antique1, I decided I really wasn’t in love with the ampersands that were included in any of the fonts I was working with. Normally, I’d just run everything through Typogrify2 and get some handy CSS classes to work with. Working in Safari’s Reader, though, I only had access to Javascript (and jQuery, now).

I updated the links and information on the main post, but I thought I’d put a little ping out there for RSS readers who might want to upgrade:

I’ve found a few bugs in Instapaper Beyond since releasing the Safari extension this morning. I’ve updated the extension to version 1.8.3, but I’m not convinced that my update manifest (the automatic update) is working yet. If you’re running into issues (the biggest offender being an error when closing the help menu), try downloading the latest version and installing it over the existing version.

Instapaper Beyond1 users will want to type “U” in their Instapaper SSB2 to update to version 1.4. It includes a minor update that improves bottom-of-page detection when using the spacebar.

I’ll be the first to admit that I get a little obsessed with projects that aren’t really going to improve my life all that much. Those projects can be fun to blog about, though, so I present you my brief obsession for this Sunday afternoon.

I’ve just started using MarsEdit1 again (in combination with my TextMate2 blogging bundles), but I’ve run into a couple of issues. First, I can’t assign thumbnails to my posts directly. This is the result of poor API support in Wordpress for handling attachments on a specific post, and not Daniel’s fault at all. Fortunately, I’ve set my blog up to search for an image with a specific class, remove it from the post and use it as the post header if a thumbnail isn&…

I just pushed out a fairly large update for Instapaper Beyond1, my little userscript for Fluid which adds extensive keyboard navigation and additional functionality to the Instapaper website. I’ve been playing with it sporadically for a while now, and version 1.3 has a lot of new features and some big fixes. See below for the best changelog I could pull together from my surprisingly scattered notes and commit messages.

I ran into a problem recently. I wanted to have links to images be “lightboxed,” but I also wanted to blog in Markdown and not have to write out link tags with “rel” attributes for every image link. There are several existing plugins for Wordpress that will do this automatically, but I’ve been sticking with the jQuery Lightbox plugin, which handles Wordpress galleries in this manner, but requires the “rel=lightbox” attribute to handle single image links.

I did some massive Spring cleaning over the weekend, and found a lot of “treasures” that, after having been momentarily cherished, are on their way to the dump. A pile of Dead Kennedy’s and TCHC cassettes from High School that had been severely devastated by an extended stay in the garage, original vinyl pressings from some of my old bands, Phreak boxes, and more defunct electronics than I could possibly E-bay. Amongst all of it, though, I found a CD of work from my Interactive Multimedia…

I’ve taken a little time to improve the script I’d posted previously. It saves bookmarks you add to Delicious as webloc (Safari bookmark) files on your local hard drive, optionally with thumbnails and OpenMeta tags.

I just read a blog post by James Scariati regarding a method to target every version of IE from a single stylesheet. The idea was to add a wrapper div with a specific class using conditional comments, allowing you to target IE6 using CSS specificity rather than separate stylesheets. The commenters took it a bit further, and I decided to test out a slight permutation.
