		<title>Search Site Bookmarklet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know a post is a little bit of overkill, but my url got eaten. This is simply a port of one of the new features of CyberSearch for chrome. Anyway here is the code.
javascript:location.href = &#8216;http://www.google.com/search?&#38;q=site:&#8217;+encodeURIComponent(window.location.hostname)+&#8217;+ %s&#8217;;
To use it you need to add it as a search engine in chrome.

		<title>Native Facebook in Pidgin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If anyone has tried the facebook add in for pidgin knows it is buggy at best. The new XMPP support allows one to communicate directly with facebook.
The only tricky part is setting it up. The username field is explained at http://www.facebook.com/username/, and the password is your facebook password. After that just make sure your configurations are the same as mine (note [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quix</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using quix for a little while now, and it has really bugged me that you can&#8217;t just add it as a search engine.
I tweaked the code a little bit so that it works in chrome and firefox as a search engine. Here is the code.
javascript:Quix();function%20Quix(){var%20e=encodeURIComponent;var%20t=window.getSelection?window.getSelection():(document.getSelection?document.getSelection():(document.selection?document.selection.createRange().text:&#8221;));var%20c=%s;if(t!=&#8221;){if(c){c+=&#8217;%20&#8242;+t;}else{c=&#8221;+t;}}if(c){var%20u=&#8217;http://quixapp.com/go/?c=&#8217;+e(c)+&#8217;&#038;t=&#8217;+(document.title?e(document.title):&#8221;)+&#8217;&#038;s=&#8217;+'&#038;v=080&#8242;+&#8217;&#038;u=&#8217;+(document.location?e(document.location):&#8221;);d=&#8221;+document.location;if(d.substr(0,4)!=&#8217;http&#8217;){window.location=u+&#8217;&#038;mode=direct&#8217;;}else{heads=document.getElementsByTagName(&#8216;head&#8217;);if(c.substring(0,1)==&#8217;%20&#8242;){var%20w=window.open(u+&#8217;&#038;mode=direct&#8217;);w.focus();}else%20if(heads.length==0){window.location=u+&#8217;&#038;mode=direct&#8217;;}else{q=document.getElementById(&#8216;quix&#8217;);if(q){q.parentNode.removeChild(q);}sc=document.createElement(&#8217;script&#8217;);sc.src=u;sc.id=&#8217;quix&#8217;;sc.type=&#8217;text/javascript&#8217;;void(heads[0].appendChild(sc));}}}}

		<description><![CDATA[If you have ever wanted to get your mailto links to work with google apps, but didn&#8217;t want to shell out for third party apps, there is a simple program by google to help you do that.
It isn&#8217;t that hard really just go to replacing example.com with your domain.

Washington, D.C
Dear Sir,
 My friend over at Wells, Iowa received a check for $1,000 from the Government for not raising hogs.  Right now I&#8217;m getting extra help from the government and Red Cross while I&#8217;m displaced but when that stops I want to go into the &#8220;not-raising-hogs&#8221; business.

		<title>Firefox Keywords</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I discovered a highly underrated feature in firefox. Keywords.
These can make huge improvements in the browsing experience. For example if I wanted to look up John 3:16 all I have to do is type the following into the address bar (shortcut ctrl + l).

To get to my blog I simply type this [...]]]></description>
