I tried not to mention this, since I have a habit of being a Nintendo fanboy, but…

How great does the Revolution look now?

Which is great because not only do I get to play that Yoshi game and Mario RIGHT NOW, but I also get to buy Nintendogs tomorrow and Electroplankton when it eventually appears (November?)

Yay!!!

Another screengrab release (0.6) September 20, 2005

WOOO!!!

Screengrab 0.6 is out.

In an exciting development, I have fixed some bugs.
Support for more locales should be coming soon I hope.

Excerpt from the main page follows:

===============
Pretty maintenancey release really. I …

  1. …fixed the amusing problem with mozilla.org, and hopefully any other webpage that has strange horizontal banding issues.
  2. …made better error messages. Problems are usually that Java isn’t configured.
  3. …fixed a stupid bug where I was calling a method that doesn’t exist
  4. …fixed some SecurityException problems (I hope - feedback on this would be good)
  5. …fixed problems with context menu obscuring view in some Linux variants (I hope)
  6. …made my update rdf actually work (I think) :)

…has been going into that screen grab extension.
Honestly!! People are never happy!
Frames, better error handling, why Java, configuration!!!

It’s unbelievable! For a little while I thought frames would elude me (I HATE poring over the DOM trying to find the EXACT element hiding within some esoteric little nothing) but I’ve sorted that now.

Screen grab! 0.5 is out!
You can now grab frames, there is support for French speakers (thank you Jean-Bernard Marcon!!) and I have moved the 3 options for grabbing under a submenu.

To come in 0.6: Better error messages, more locales, (hopefully) a fix for the context menu being snapped on Fedora. Probably some configuration options wouldn’t go astray too.

More ScreenGrab… September 2, 2005

Hooray, my little Screen grab thing has been approved :)
HERE!

And it has its first positive review.

Of course, it gets OutOfMemory errors if you try to grab something too big and it has some interesting problems on (ironically enough) the Mozilla home page.
I guess I’ll get to the bottom of it eventually, but then again… this should make my extension obsolete.
