Flic.kr Short URL Safari Extension

Many of you will know, a while back I wrote a small webpage that shortened flickr.com urls. [http://tmdvs.me/flic.kr/

I’ve finally had the chance to turn this into a Safari 5 native extension! Simply visit a photo on flickr and hit the tool bar button! It couldn’t be any simpler! The button will only be active if you’re viewing a photo on flickr.com.

This extension is currently only a beta release and there is no version updating currently built into it. I will add this on the next update. You can follow this blog or follow me on twitter to be notified as to when I release it.  UPDATES NOW WORK UPDATE TO VERSION IN THIS POST

You can download the extension here. Or watch a video of it in action!

I created my first Safari 5 Extension. It creates short URLS with the tmdvs.me domain using AJAX calls.

Ads begone!

A quick note to say I have pulled ads from the site. A larger company joined the ad network I was with and now profits are less than $4 a month. 

When an ad company starts up sporting the values of design and development themed ads hosted on design and development themed sites it would be silly not to expect them to sell out at some point. It just all went down hill rather quickly.

Sh*t My Dad Says, a humble book review…

At first glance Im sure many people will assume this book is just a collection of all the tweets the author originally tweeted. I wont be the first to admit I assumed the exact same thing.

However. This book is much more than a few funny one liners from an a sharp witty old man. No. This book also contains the story of growing up in an average home, except you’re living with a high class comedian for a father, a comedian who doesn’t even know it yet.

This book is full of family stories, truly hilarious and emotionally deep anecdotes that make it fantastic read. Every time the author recalls an upsetting memory he instantly brings a smile to your face, with the quick wit of his hilarious father.

I read this book in less than a few days. Not because its length, theres plenty here to read. It was more the fact I couldn’t put the damned thing down.

A fantastic insight into our own family lives through the somewhat more dramatic and caricature like life of another.
