How to remove Facebook Quizzes from your home stream

Tired of seeing those quiz notification your friends published? If you’re a facebook quiz lover, do yourself a favor, STOP PUBLISHING THE RESULT. It’s annoying!

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.

First you’ll have to install Greasemonkey (works on Firefox) or Greasekit (works on Safari). And after that you can get the userscript here. Cool huh? Opera users, check out this article, looks like you can also run Greasemonkey userscripts in Opera. Chrome users are also in luck, check out this article.

Internet Explorer users, you’re on your own. Good luck.

    Quick follow-up. I tweeted this @uMCLE, and it’s one of my most re-tweeted posts.

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?

  • 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.
