Easily Download YouTube Movies

This is perhaps the easiest, fastest, and easiest to setup way to download YouTube movies. It works in all browsers, Mac, and PC, and the resulting videos are already in the amazing MP4 format that you can drop on your iPod.
All you have to do is copy this javascript and paste it into a bookmark. When you’re on a Youtube page, click this bookmark, and the movie will download. Have fun!
javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href=’http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt=’+(isHDAvailable?’22′:’18′)+’&video_id=’+swfArgs['video_id']+’&t=’+swfArgs['t']}

Disabling Flash in Safari (Leopard)

I admit it. One of my biggest nemeses has got to be Adobe Flash. It’s clunky, it’s weird, it’s slow. It hogs system resources, and it’s everywhere! Something like 80% of those dumb animation ads that you see on websites are made up of flash. What would truly be ideal is if everybody just used javascript for animation, MPEG-4 for video, and small GIFs and JPEGs for ads. Seriously. Flash is awful.

In my previous post entitled “Deleting Flash Cookies – Mac OS X,” I showed you how to create a quick Automator script for deleting all of the flash cookies on your mac. This can be very handy, but should you want to delete only a select few cookies, or perform something similar on Windows, there is actually another method.

IPv6 – A mac fix-it story
August 10, 2009 at 2:34 PM | In Uncategorized | 2 CommentsTags: firefox, IPv4, IPv6, mac min, network, safari, slow, TCP/IP
For many months now, we’ve had a Mac Mini in our home that was giving us trouble. We could download huge files with ease, transfer files over network, run Skype, and send emails, but when it came to rendering webpages, both Safari, Firefox crawled to an extremely slow pace, barely loading a simple web page in under 35 seconds.

Deleting Flash Cookies – Mac OS X

What is a flash cookie? Well, I should start out by saying that there are really only 3 main ways that a website can keep track of you. One is using HTTP cookies, the other is via flash cookies, and the last is using your IP address. Continue reading Deleting Flash Cookies – Mac OS X…
So There!
July 8, 2009 at 2:55 PM | In Life | Leave a CommentHere’s the story. Throughout my life I have had always had this slight annoyance with the fact that I’ve always been referred to as “Jamie,” when my real name is actually James. I have become accustomed to “Jamie,” but deep down, I’ve always wondered if I was being disloyal to my true name. Continue reading So There!…

I’m currently working on writing a post, and I just noticed that there was this little option to “show falling snow on my blog”. I tried it out, and boy does it look cool! Better check it out, it’ll only be around until January 4th. Go WordPress!

Trouble getting connected
November 14, 2008 at 2:46 AM | In Mac | 3 Comments
Computers are not perfect. Not even macs. Where am I going with this? I beseech thee, kind reader, to listen to my tale.
So here’s the story. I get to our MacBook one Wednesday afternoon after my brother had been using it for a while. I open up the cover, and I start checking my email, RSS feeds, and whatnot and well, unfortunately, our connection to the web is not what it should be. Continue reading Trouble getting connected…
Drawing
September 6, 2008 at 2:46 PM | In Life | Leave a Comment So there I was, sitting at the table after dinner finishing off a bowl of rice pudding, and I was watching my sister draw a portrait of my younger sister Emily. And I said to myself, “What a wonderful daaaaaaayyyyyyy” “That looks fun, I used to draw.” So I decided to give it a shot.
