Face Off Extension for Firefox
Tuesday, June 26th, 2007I find Facebook to be a very useful tool for networking and keeping up with what my friends and acquaintances are doing. However, with the proliferation of optional add-ons for profile pages, I sometimes miss the simpler and more focused Facebook of a few months ago.
To make the site easier to work with, I wrote a little add-on for my favourite browser. The Face Off Extension for Firefox let’s you turn off 3rd party Facebook applications.

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007How to use Twitterbook to get the status from your Facebook account to update your Twitter.com status as well.
Twitter is the South by Southwest award winning social networking service that allows members to keep each other updated on what they are currently doing or thinking.
Facebook, another social networking service, was originally developed for college and university students but has been opened to anyone with an email address. Now with over 17 million accounts, Facebook allows users to keep a list of friends, blog, share photos—and post their current status.
(more…)X-Ray and Professor X Updated for Firefox 2
Wednesday, October 4th, 2006In advance of the general release of Firefox version 2, I’ve updated both the X-Ray and Professor X extensions to work with the new browser. You can either download the updated versions here at DesignMeme.com or get them from the official Firefox Addons site.
Thanks again to everyone who has emailed to say they’ve found these extensions useful and offered suggestions for future versions. While I would have liked to have provided some new features in these updates, I’ve been focused on other things the past few months. My wife and I are expecting our second child, and we’re now in the final days counting down to the new arrival! It’s a very exciting time, and we’re really looking forward to meeting the new baby.
X-Ray Update for Firefox and Flock
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006The X-Ray extension, which lets you see the underlying tag structure of a webpage, has been updated to version 0.8. X-Ray is now compatible with both Firefox and the new Flock Browser which recently moved into public beta.
The new version of X-Ray adds support for displaying tags for table, tr, script and a few other elements! Tags will now show both ID and Class details if they exist. The update also improves compatibility with the new Professor X Extension—also available for both Firefox and Flock.
Professor X Extension for Firefox
Monday, June 19th, 2006 My second Firefox extension is ready for download today! Professor X let’s you see inside a page’s head without viewing the sourcecode. This is the companion extension to X-Ray which reveals the underlying code within a page’s body, although either extension can be installed and used on its own.Once installed the Professor X command is available by right-clicking as well as in the Tools menu. When applied to a page it will display the contents of the page’s head element, including Meta, Script and Style content. This can help you see how a website was constructed without having to go back and forth between the sourcecode and the page in your browser.
