All of my videos on chrispederick.com are uploa­ded to You­Tube and then dis­pla­yed on my site using the You­Tube API. This works well since it allows me to deli­ver the videos through Flash so that they can play on the majo­rity of com­pu­ters and redu­ces the band­width usage on my site, while the loss in qua­lity is not a big issue since the videos are not exactly stun­ning works of art!

Howe­ver, in the last year I have had three videos remo­ved by You­Tube for copy­right infrin­ge­ment under the DMCA.

Ver­sion 1.1.3 of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion has been relea­sed. This is another patch release con­tai­ning what I hope are the last major issues that were dis­co­ve­red in the pre­vious ver­sion. With the major issues resol­ved this ver­sion has also been uploa­ded to Fire­fox Add-ons.

Ver­sion 1.1.2 of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion has been relea­sed. This is another patch release con­tai­ning a few more fixes for bugs that were dis­co­ve­red in the pre­vious version.

Ver­sion 1.1.1 of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion has been relea­sed. This is a patch release con­tai­ning a few fixes for bugs that were dis­co­ve­red in the pre­vious version.

I am plea­sed to announce that ver­sion 1.1 of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion has been relea­sed. The com­plete list of new fea­tu­res and bug fixes can be found in the his­tory with the big­gest change being the repla­ce­ment of the side­bar with something I am calling the “dashboard”.

I am somewhat of a per­fec­tio­nist and I love to tweak. The first thing I do when I get a new com­pu­ter is go through every option in the con­trol panel or sys­tem pre­fe­ren­ces. If I start using a new appli­ca­tion I spend the first hour con­fi­gu­ring all the options and any tool­bars to my liking.

This is great for appli­ca­tions run­ning on my com­pu­ter, but what about the nume­rous web­si­tes that I have no con­trol over? Pre­viously I had to live with wha­te­ver cus­to­mi­za­ble options were expo­sed by the site, but using Grea­se­mon­key and Sty­lish I can tweak any site as much as I like.

Web Deve­lo­per Beta 1.1 — a pre­view release of the next ver­sion of the Web Deve­lo­per exten­sion — is now publicly avai­la­ble. This release is for tes­ting pur­po­ses only — for a fully sup­por­ted ver­sion of the exten­sion or loca­li­zed builds please see the latest offi­cial release.

The full list of new fea­tu­res in this release is in the chan­ge­log, but the big­gest change is the repla­ce­ment of the side­bar with something I am calling the “dashboard”.

The User Agent Switcher and Web Deve­lo­per exten­sions have been upda­ted to be com­pa­ti­ble with the upco­ming release of Fire­fox 2.0.

If you are having pro­blems ins­ta­lling the exten­sions please try down­loa­ding and ins­ta­lling again from this site follo­wing the sug­ges­tions in the ins­ta­lla­tion trou­bleshoo­ting sec­tion of the documentation.

Ver­sion 0.6.9 of the User Agent Switcher exten­sion has been relea­sed. This is a minor update fixing memory leaks and opti­mi­zing the code.

Sorry for the lack of upda­tes recently, but work and the World Cup have been taking up most of my time.

Since I have been busy I had fallen behind on Web Deve­lo­per loca­li­za­tions, but I just caught up and added a num­ber of new and upda­ted trans­la­tions to the build. Let me know if you see any pro­blems and thank you to the peo­ple taking the time to pro­vide these localizations.
