GreaseKit – Use GreaseMonkey’s User Scripts in Safari

GreaseMonkey is a very powerful Firefox add-on that lets us make changes to the website we visit on-the-fly by installing user scripts. In human language, that means we have more control over the websites we visit. For example, we can add a ‘download’ link to Youtube video pages and remove annoying quizzes from our Facebook homepage.

Neat innit? The problem is: GreaseMonkey cannot be installed in Safari, Mac OSX’s default browser (and by far my favorite one). Solution: GreaseKit. Here’s how.

Tips & Tricks

  • Native Web Development (apache, PHP and mySQL) on Mac OSX Leopard
    It is not as complicated as you think. Given that Macs are descendants of *nix system, it already has apache2 and PHP module built in, we only need to activate those two and install mySQL. Here's how.
  • Coding PHP Loops Easily
    Working with loops on PHP is inevitable, and I've seen many beginners (read: me) pulling their hair because of it. The thing with coding a loop is, sometimes you have to do stuffs like this: <?php for ($i=1; $i < 10; $i++) { echo "<a href=\"something.php?id=$i\">No $i</a>"; } Am I right am I right?
  • How to remove Facebook Quizzes from your home stream
    To hide the quiz, you can either click the hide button and select hide yadayada quiz or simply hide the person, I prefer the latter. But if you don't want to hide the friend but still want to hide the quizzes, facebook Purity saves your day.
  • Tweaking Safari 4’s Hidden Preferences
    Some people are excited about the changes, some don’t. I personally can’t get used to the tab bar relocation so I looked for a solution to revert it back. There is the hard way, typing this and that into Terminal app but hey, let’s cheat and use the easier way.
  • How to save/print a document as PDF
    For Mac users, this is as simple as hitting Command + P and select Save as PDF. Windows users, you are not so lucky, Windows does not have this function built-in. As usual, we're going to have to install a third party application work our way around this limitation. We have a wide range of selection to help overcome the issue, but we're going to use the cheapest and quickest one around: CutePDF Writer.
