SCAREZILLA WINDBADGER F.A.Q.
http://2ndc.net/~scary/badger.html
- Windbadger isn't working on my computer.
ICBM and Linux only, bitch.
- Where can I download Windbadger?
No.
- Windbadger is doing something I don't like.
Fall in a hole and die.
- My name is either Ox, Lulu, or Brad, I'm in your homeroom class, and Windbadger is doing something I don't like.
Buy me cigarettes, I'll figure something out.
- What the fuck?
I'll kill you.
Features:
- Multiline tooltips
- Fast+persistent tooltips
- Tooltip-sidebar mode, with SVG overlay linking sidenotes to body text and adaptive synchro scrolling
- AI history mapping--analyzes scrapbook and previously viewed pages and tries to guess their relationship to the research task at hand. (Interface is driven by abusing the
<title> tag and ruthlessly fucking with the DOM. Yeah, you knew I had a good reason for those first three.)
- Media plugins bundled
- Scrapbook extension bundled and modified
- Large search engine collection bundled
- Pushbutton TOR integration
- Pushbutton Oceanographic Routing Proxy Protocol integration (gives access to off-world Second City internet nodes... theoretically, it can do more, but I'm still looking for the appropriate proxy addresses and passwords. Oh, and don't hit this too hard, because we're trying to avoid drawing attention. If possible, turn off images before trying to pipe through the Castle. It's supposed to remind you when you flip the switch; come talk to me if it isn't.)
- Persistent per-site proxy settings; ships pre-rigged to go through one of three or four public/university libraries when you try to access scholarly research databases or the OED or something.
- Transparent Markdown integration in all text fields (small toggle control by each one; settings are persistent by field-name and domain; default settings live in Preferences.)
- Idiosyncratic keybinding extensions for search system control
- Splitscreen (via simple word processor style grab control)
- XML-RPC and ATOM based blog editor
- Regexp search (and replace). (Cmd-Shift-F) Can be limited to current page, all tabs in current window, all currently-alive tabs, or, if you wanna go grab a coffee, it can chew back over your recent history or a selection of bookmarks.
