    How to fix the Chrome FlashBlock extension

    The current version of the FlashBlock extension for chrome doesn’t work with the current version of Chrome DEV.  When you click on the icon in the address bar in Chrome-Dev you get a message about removing the icon from the address bar, when you should see options to enable or disable for the current page.

    This bug is caused by invalid HTML in the popup.html file of the extension.  In order to fix it:

    Go to the extensions list and click on “+ Developer Mode”.  This will show some extra buttons and the ID’s of each extension.  

    Find the FlashBlock extension and take note of its ID.

    Then go find the extensions folder for Chrome.
    For Mac is something like: /Users/YOURUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Extensions/
    I don’t know what it is for windows but I am sure you can find it.
    Find the folder with the same name as the ID of the extension.

    Now open up popup.html in your editor of choice.
    Now change
    <script src=”chromelib.js”/>
    <script src=”prefs.js”/>
    to
    <script src=”chromelib.js”></script>
    <script src=”prefs.js”></script> 

    Save the file and restart Chrome.  Problem fixed until the next plugin update which hopefully will have this fix in it.

    Nambu jump.

    One problem with Nambu and the keyboard navigation is that you will be looking at your list and moving up the list like this:

    And then bam

    The list shifts way down and you have to go searching for the selected tweet.  Would be much better if the list didn’t jump like that just shifted down one tweet when the selected tweet is at the top of the viewpane and the up arrow key is pressed.

    Interesting iPhone Feed reader that syncs with Google Reader.  Something to look in to later.
