These are not my images, but images that I've found here that I really like.

Scripts & Things

I think I will use this area to list scripts and things that I don't really want as deviations, since they're not really great works of art, just small things that do simple things.





:bulletblue: Move Complaints - Haha sorry, but this is just too stupid and simple to be a deviation. All this does, now, is move the complaints forum up to the top of the forum list for community. Here's the script, works in Firefox and Chrome.


:bulletgreen: Better forum styling - this makes the forums a tad better, well in my opinion anyway. Makes some links normally dark green, blue on hover, and lightens visited links (handy for knowing what you've read before) and it also tightens things up, kills that status forum box, and styles the forum search to look right. Get it here, and install into a new blank Stylish skin.


:bulletblue: Forum - Mark recent - this is based on an old script ([link]) and it will show the order of comments on a thread, and even let you jump to the latest 5 replies (per page, not per thread) if you hover over the far right of the page. Get it here. Works in Firefox (with Greasemonkey) and Chrome.


:bulletblue: Points Converter -This just puts a converter into your shop menu, and lets you input a points number, or US dollar amount, and it will convert the number into the other "currency" for you. Just note, the shop menu will stay open if you have anything inputted in the boxes. Remove any numbers and mouseout of the menu to make it close back up. Install here, works in Firefox (with Greasemonkey) and Chrome.


:bulletblue: Normal Deviation Clicks -This keeps dA from loading the "faster" AJAX links, things like http://whatever.deviantart.com/#/d39bm0o, and instead loads the more normal link. What you see when you click fav.me links. This solves a bunch of bugs that happen because of the superbrowse way of loading deviations, and I just personally find it a much better way to load deviations. Install it here, works in Firefox (with Greasemonkey) and Chrome.


:bulletblue: dA Journal - Saved Text - This saves your text from journal to journal so you don't have to copy/paste tags in. It works on your create new journal page, and it will save your text once you hit Publish Entry, or the Update Saved Text button on the bottom right. Works with Firefox (with Greasemonkey) and Chrome, install from here.


:bulletpurple: Ignore people in chat rooms without SuperdAmn - this is something that may be useful if you ever don't have SuperdAmn, and just must ignore people. Just open this page and then copy the text in that gray box and bookmark it (or just paste it into the URL of your chat page and hit enter) and when you're on the chats, you can click that bookmarklet to ignore people. Just remember, capitalization is important, and to ignore more than one person, simply put a comma (,) in between the names, with no spaces.


:bulletblue: deviation Background Color - This lets you color the background of deviations pages, which may be useful or preferable to you. You can even save that color so all deviation pages will have your set background color. But, it will only work on http://username.deviantart.com/art/deviationtitle-id pages, not the AJAX #dabc123 type URL's. You can click the title of the deviation to get to the normal URL, or install my script that does this for you above. Install it here, works in Firefox (with Greasemonkey) and Chrome.


:bulletpurple: Bookmarklet for easy dA embeds - This will let you easily turn videos into the proper dA embed code. Copy the text here and then bookmark it, then click it and paste in your video URL.


:bulletblue: Forum Preview - This lets you preview forum threads. Hover over the eyes to the right of threads to see what the original post is. Get it here [link] works in Firefox (with Greasemonkey) and Chrome.

These are some of the prints that I would like.

So Helpful

By sidebars, I mean Firefox's not-too-well-known ability to open bookmarks in the sidebar.  I have a whole bookmark folder just for sidebars.  I put things in there that are useful tools, or things that don't require a full page, since it loads in the sidebar and doesn't interrupt the current page I'm viewing.


You can choose to open certain bookmarks in the sidebar if you open up the bookmark properties and then check the box down there.  Then when you open that bookmark, instead of loading in the current page with that bookmark, it will open up the sidebar and load it into there.


As most of you know, I like to write scripts and things.  But I also like to write helpful HTML pages (with JavaScript in them).  I write a lot of HTML pages, then I put them into a custom Firefox extension and call them from there.  It's sort of geeky, and you might not understand that, but I do that because it lets me load the file locally so I don't need to host it online and wait for it to load.  So I have a lot of files in the chrome:// URI, which I bookmark with URL's such as chrome://chromefiles/content/html/whatever.html.  I also have a bookmark folder just for chrome:// URI's, like chrome://global/content/console.xul for the error console (which I load in the sidebar), or chrome://global/content/config.xul for the about:config page many of you may know about.  I just find it easier to get to via bookmark rather than loading a new tab and typing it in.


Anyway, I thought I would share a few of the pages I made, since I find them useful, and you might too.  These are all standalone pages, so you can right click them and then save the file, and you should have just one single .html page that you can host yourself or open up and play with or do whatever with.



Sidebar

Most of these pages I, well, pretty much stole from the internet, changing them to suit my needs.  I'm a copy/paste coder :B

Timer - a simple timer for counting down time. Useful when I have food in the oven.

Color Picker - a Photoshop-like color picker for quickly getting colors.

HTML Entities - More on the geek side, but this tool lets me convert text into HTML entities, which is useful in certain cases.  Like posting things on dA, or some coding applications.

Base64 Data URI Encoder - Another sort of geeky tool, but this lets me easily convert files into data URI's.  Basically, a string of text that websites can use and understand, rather than hosting the direct file.  I used to use Stylish to generate the URI, but I find this easier and it has a few more options (just made this one, and am still working on it.  And it fails to style right in Chrome). 
New
version here.  This version lets you drag and drop, and now looks better in Chrome.

Tinypic - I didn't write this page, of course, but it's a very helpful tinypic site to load in the sidebar.  I also have some custom Stylish to make it look how I want.


Full Pages

Again, lots of me stealing from other sites, mostly to style and work how I want.

JavaScript Packer/Unpacker - This lets me beautify JavaScript so I can read it better, and it also packs it up, if I want to compress code.

Gradient Editor - This is pretty much directly ripped from the great site here, with different styling and all the fluff taken out and wrapped into a single file.


So Have At It

Anyway, I forget where exactly I copy/pasted all that from, but I would credit the original sites if I could.  Feel free to download any of those pages and use them yourself, if you want.  And as you may be able to tell from the URL's, some of those files are revisions of past versions.  So you can probably see older versions if you want ;)

◄ The deviantART electricjonny ►
I spend most of my time on the forums and chat rooms. I love hitting the forums and having fun there, I usually hang out in the Suggestions forum and Software forum.


You can also find me in the #h3lp and #seniors chat room.

◄ The real life electricjonny ►
My real name is Jon Spence. I'm a 28 year old student studying Television and Digital Media Production. So I know a lot about video and things like that. I started studying photography in high school, and have loved it ever since. I mainly shoot with a Canon PowerShot SX100 IS. My hobbies include taking things apart and experimenting with electronic things, and biking. I like the outdoors and I used to camp a lot.

So art wise, I'm mainly a photographer, but I like to do video compositing too.
Interests

Random musings from electricjonny:

Don't you hate it when you get into a hot shower, and you realize that your bar of soap has been transformed into a sliver of soap? And then you have to do that cold, wet truffle to wherever the soap is to get a new one?

I was so damn sure you would, as I was lurking around the journal article. ;) Good to know that you stick to the original.

Hehe, well I just didn't find it worthwhile to do. And I'm too used to this name. I went back and forth for quite a while though ;)

I just noticed that Scripts & Things box here on your page. Neat stuff! But a pity I've missed them for so long, especially the one to get rid of supoerbrowse. Still, thanks for those! :thumbsup:

Hehe, yeah I make random things, but don't always feel like they're worth uploading here. Not finished, buggy, or just simple things only I find useful.

The one to kill superbrowse is a godsend, but I think it's buggy, due to recent site changes. I have an updated version I can give you, if it doesn't work, but I'm not 100 percent sure it'll would work for you (uses a vms - not sure everyone can apply those to pages).

Fair enough. :)

Thanks for the heads up! I think I'll run with the current one and get back to you if I run in any troubles.
