The End

Friday, June 30th, 2006

This is my last post on this blog.

I’m not sure what comment-and-trackback-spam-propagators are trying to achieve, but the amount of spam that’s made it to this blog is appalling. Thanks to the spam-filters, much of it isn’t visible to the public, but it’s painful to delete hundreds of unwanted comments. There are also some minor annoy­ances that I don’t want to deal with now.

Goodbye.

//@name Clean FreeD­ic­tionary
//@namespace http://research.aiq.qnet
//@description Removes the weird ad that messes up the freed­ic­tionary page
//@include http://*freedictionary.com/*

var x = document.getElementById(“TblAd”);
var y = document.getElementById(“MainTxt”);
x.style.display = “none”;
y.style.width = “100%25″;
