Greybox and Firefox Back Button Issue

I started using Greybox for one of my web projects recently.  I like it because it’s a little different that plain old lightbox.

BUT, there was a problem.  In Firefox, after viewing a image and closing it, the back button would no longer work.  The workaround was found by Jani at http://amix.dk/blog/viewEntry/19039

Hello,
Regarding the issue with the back button in Firefox, i think i found a solution.
First i came with this suggestion:

I did tweak the script a bit more, and now it seems to work fine in firefox.
Here is the new script for version 5.53:

The new gb_scripts.js file worked great!

Web-based Operating System?

I ran across this site today:

http://eyeos.info/

It’s a remote/web-based operating system that gives you a desktop with Office programs, calendar, web browser, games, and more.  Not sure how useful it would be – but it looks cool!  Try it out 🙂

Cool Web 2.0 Sites I’ve Found

Here are some neat “Web 2.0” sites that I’ve found recently.  Mostly, I found them through go2web20.net.

  • Zenbe.com – This is basically a web-base e-mail/calendar/contact manager.  I like it because it consolidates my e-mail and calendar into one app.  I’ve never liked webmail – or desktop mail clients – but this one pretty takes the good from both and puts in into one app.  You can download mail from any POP3 mail server
  • Powerset.com – This search engine uses “natural language processing” to figure out the meaning behind sentences, rather than just using keywords.  I’ve been following this site for quite a while because it really sparked my interest. As of this writing, it only search Wikipedia but they plan to expand that, hopefully, to the entire Internet.
  • ribbit.com – Visual voicemail, like on the iPhone but for any phone.  Supposed to convert the voice to text.  Not released yet, but I can’t wait to try it because I would love being able to visually see the list of voicemails, who they’re from, and read them, rather than listen through them all.
  • filemail.com – easy way to send large files over the Internet.  It’s not really very secure, but it is very easy to use.
