Useful bookmarklets for iPhone

Over the past few weeks, I’ve come across a few useful bookmarklets which work great in Mobile Safari on the iPhone.

I can’t take any credit for writing these, but hope to be helpful by listing them in one place.

How to install

Open this page with mobile Safari and tap-and-hold on the bookmarklet hyperlinks below. Select “Copy” when the menu appears. Then bookmark a page (any page will do), giving it a name like “Scroll to bottom”. After storing the bookmark, edit it – the URL will now be editable where it wasn’t previously. Delete the original URL and paste in the bookmarklet code. Finally, remove the “http://” from the front. Save!

Scroll to bottom

How many times have you been reading a long webpage and accidentally hit the top bar in mobile Safari? Yes, it takes you to the top, but there’s no “go to bottom” shortcut. This will do just that. Copy me

Find in page

This provides a “find text in this webpage” feature. Copy me

Yeah baby! Copy me

Larger, greener, quieter: Kurobox changes

320Gb just isn’t enough nowadays, for a machine-under-the-stairs packed full music in flac format, video and digital photos… so an upgrade was needed. And while the hard disk is being upgraded, I thought I’d help it spin down by putting the root filesystem on a USB stick.

Ingredients

1x Buffalo 8Gb Thumbkey
1x KURO-SATA (because the Kurobox HG only has a PATA controller)
1x Western Digital Green 1Tb hard disk

WD 1Tb hard disk, KURO-SATA and Buffalo Thumbkey

Browsing ’sshd’ logs

FebĀ  3 07:55:09 kurobox sshd[16067]: Failed password for invalid user stud from 189.11.251.194 port 50372 ssh2

I have nothing else to say.
