Don’t Zone-1 It When You Can Boris Bike It | Suprageography
december 2011 by blech
"Ever thought what the tube network would look like if you took out the expensive Zone 1? Me neither, until this morning, when I was wondering if it was possible to utilise my current “Boris Bike” bikeshare 24-hour membership to save a bit of money on commuting in to work."

Is Greasemonkey the answer to everything?
november 2007 by blech
Rev Dan Catt posts to Flickr Ideas about Greasemonkey and scaling. I'd also note that it's a lot easier to build a little GM script than a standalone app, and also easier to drive adoption. (I was going to post about this once. Sigh.)

Geek to Live: Manage multiple Firefox profiles - Lifehacker

It's time for me to move up from Firefox 1.5, I think. Cloning a profile so I can return to it if I don't like 2.0 (or the Gran Paradiso alphas) seems like a good idea.
