Plain Old Fanfiction

Sometimes reading Fanfiction (or heck, even blogs) on individual pages is a bit risky when you’re, say, at work and lollygagging around. People will have a lot of images, colors, etc that can make it obvious you’re not doing what you’re supposed to be doing. Not to mention that sometimes the color choices are less than desirable to read from.

This is where Plain Old Fanfiction comes in.

Plain Old Fanfiction is a Greasemonkey user script that recolors a page to have a plain white background, plain black text, blue/purple links, and hides all the images. You’ll have to set the included pages yourself of course.

Click here to install the script. If you have Greasemonkey installed, you should get a pop up detecting that it’s a user script and it will install automatically. :)

Create .ico files with Photoshop

It really sucked to have to download freeware .ico makers whenever I wanted to make an icon, only to delete them when I was finished. Today I finally found a plugin so that I can save as a .ico from Photoshop!

Telegraphics

It comes with a version for mac and windows. Spiffy! Just pop the plugin into the File Format folder as directed in the readme it comes with and you’re all set. It’s also neat that it’s open source, so you can see how they did it.

There were also a few other links worthy of note:

  • Photoshop .icns plugin (for mac icons) - IconLab
  • Linux extract and convert icons - icoutil
