Check out the bench with some finish on it. Starting to look pretty nice :)

So when I’m not coding I like to sneak into the workshop and make stuff. Here is my latest project

So after a little tinkering around I’ve come up with a script that cleans the new UI up a little, i.e it removes everything in that third column and pops the useful bits found there into the nav. Check it out and see how you like it, you can run this alongside the KillFile script for the bestest browsing experience :) Enjoy.

Google Groups Plus

So I personally don’t like the new format, too much space is taken up by extraneous bits and bobs so I’m working on a version that will make things a lot cleaner. Will keep you all updated.

Sorry there was a typo in the new script, just download again from here and you should be in business.

Google switched to the beta groups format so you’ll need to update your Google KillFile script, download the latest and greatest here

As per Serges comment I just added the ignore option to the username in the thread view for both the beta and the standard view.

So I had a bit of an issue with my latest Amazon order, everything listed as in stock but the estimated ship date was over a month away so I wanted to give them a call but their Customer Service number is apparently classified information. Anyway I eventually found it and they were very helpful. For anyone else looking for the Amazon Customer Service number it’s…

Amazon US Customer Service
Phone toll-free in the US and Canada: (800) 201-7575

So I added the bits and bobs to the Google Groups Beta script that allows you to actually add people to the killfile, so it’s now fully functional.

If you already have Firefox and GreaseMonkey click here for Google Groups Beta KillFile v2.6

I’ve updated the script to work with Google Groups Beta, at least the Usenet part of it (not sure about the Google Groups themselves).

If you already have Firefox and GreaseMonkey click here for Google Groups Beta KillFile v2.5

Otherwise click here for full install instructions

One caveat is that in this rev you can’t add new people to the blocklist via the beta interface, will add that shortly.
