Gmail-Unread-Count First
Lifehacker has a great Firefox plugin for Gmail ("BetterGmail"). Behind the scenes, the plugin actually runs GreaseMonkey scripts.
I have my taskbar on the left hand side of the screen. When I get an email, this means that I can't tell I have unread messages (because the title says "Gmail - Inbox(1) - [email address]"). What I needed was a script to change it to something like "1 unread - Gmail Inbox". Nothing against the Lifehacker plugin, but I just like having a minimal number of Firefox plugins. I already have Greasemonkey installed - so I just needed the script:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 | // Google Inbox Count Display // $Id: google.cache.user.js 33 2005-12-29 16:54:00Z jon $ // Copyright (C) 2005 by Jonathon Ramsey (jonathon.ramsey@gmail.com) // Modified by Gina Trapani (ginatrapani@gmail.com) 6/27/2007 // to accomodate Google Apps for your domain inboxes // This file is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify // it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published // by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your // option) any later version. // This file is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but // WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of // MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Updated: Flickr comment generator
I had a shocking revelation today: people are actually using my Flickr-comment-generator. Even cooler: I realised people were using the Greasemonkey script I had created to go along with it. Shame on all of you!
After Flickr redesigned their photo-pages, the script stopped working though, and people had to actually think of comments to write (terrible!). I finally took the time out today to update the script and now everybody can have generic-goodness available to them.
Also, if you would like to contribute to this terrible project by submitting generic comments of your own, feel free to send me an email here
