Find Ink for your Printer... Cheap
Need to find ink for your ink jet or laser printer for cheap (and not using those non-recommended refill kits)? Head over to Ink Finder and do a search for your printer. I found a black cartidge for my Epson Stylus c80 for $7.95, with each color tank for only $1 more.
Quick Google Search in Chimera
You can easily add a Google search popup to Chimera with a 'bookmarklet'.
Add a bookmark for any page, or if you have the toolbar displayed, simply drag the page icon to the toolbar to bookmark it.
Next, edit your bookmarks or control-click on the item you added to the toolbar and choose Get Info.
Replace the URL in the location field with the following:
javascript:q=document.getSelection();for(i=0;i<frames.length;i++){q=frames[i].document.getSelection();if(q)break;}if(!q)void(q=prompt('Keywords:',''));if(q)location.href='http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&q='+escape(q)
Clicking that item in the toolbar or selecting it from the bookmark menu will pop up a sheet in which you can enter search keywords. When you click OK, you'll see Google's search results. If any text on the page is hilighted, it will automatically search for that text without displaying the popup.
Thanks to Kees from the Chimera mailing list for this tip.
