weblog/photolog by Milo Vermeulen milov.nl

I'm a 32-year-old webdeveloper living in Wateringen, working in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This is my personal weblog. Sometimes I make art with code. I like to make lots of photos, of which I post my faves here.

New bookmarklet: counters
(drag to Links-bar or right-click to Add to Favorites)

Tested in IE6 and Firefox. For every mouseclick, a small [1], [2], [3] incrementing counter will appear. Handy if you want to easily count the number of times something occurs on a page, such as the number of films you've seen of a specific IMDb actor/director (which prompted this idea in my case).

Update:
Quick hack to allow custom text, rather than incrementing count: notes

Aside drawing yellow moustaches on a page, what kind of use can you make of it ?

Well, count stuff, obviously :)
Now I know I've seen 23 Susumu Terajima films... http://imdb.com/name/nm0855398/

Also handy for finding out how many of the top 250 movies you have seen: http://imdb.com/chart/top

Lousy me, I thought of something slightly beyond simply counting stuffs :p

Like adding a note.

Something like this? (Try the 'notes' link above)
I'd expand it with the option to edit and move current notes, but I'm sure somebody else has already built this...
:)

It'd be cool to have the numbers, and that the note appear on hover of them. Gosh, why am I at work while I could fiddle on the bookmarklet :p

But yeah, you are certainly re-inventing the wheel.

Indeed, it's been done already: http://www.clagnut.com/sandbox/browser-stickies.html
