ff2 search plugin for dd.com
I am absolutely the only person on Earth that would find this useful, but…
I wrote a MozSearch (FF2) plugin for dandavis.com. Install it if you desire.
New Netcat server script
In this post, I gave a command to serve up a Mozilla search plugin and icon file so you could use a JavaScript call to add the search plugin without restarting Firefox… that makes more sense if you read the other article…
Well, I decided to put that code into a bash script in case I needed it again… enjoy. Or, not.
#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1
PORT=$2
if [[ "x" == "x${FILE}" || "x" == "x${PORT}" ]]; then
echo "error: server <filename> <port>"
exit
fi
if [[ "x" == "x${UID}" ]]; then
UID=`id -u`
fi
if [[ ${PORT} < 1024 && ${UID} > 0 ]]; then
echo "error: unable to use privileged port"
exit
fi
(echo "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" ; \\
echo "Content-Length: "`wc -c ${FILE} | \\
awk '{print $1}'` ; \\
echo "Connection: close" ; \\
echo ; cat ${FILE} ) | nc -l -p ${PORT}

OK, this is pretty cool… this is WriteToMyBlog.com, a web-based (obviously) word processor for creating blog posts. It's much more robust than the builtin processor than WordPress offers… at least in the ancient version I currently have installed… it's the slickness.
