IMDB "My Movies" enhancer (Greasemonkey Script)

The IMDB "My Movies" enhancer is a simple and small script for the Internet Movie Database site. When installed, it will highlight all links for movies in your "My Movies" and "Vote History" lists.

This is very useful for me: now I can check the Top 250 movies list and see which ones I still didn't watch. It also works on searches, any director, actor/actress, producer, etc. page, so I can spot their works that I missed.

Installation:

If you already have Firefox and Greasemonkey, jump to step 3.

1. You need to have Firefox installed in your computer. If you don't have it, go ahead and install it, it's free!

2. You need to install Greasemonkey on your Firefox browser (this is also free). Using Firefox, follow the Greasemonkey link, click "download" to go to the next page, then click "Add to Firefox". After it is installed, reload Firefox.

3. Click here and click on the "install this script" button to install the latest version of IMDB "My Movies" enhancer (2011.10.06).

Usage:

The first time you access an IMDB page after the installation of the script, and every time you go to your My Movies page while you're logged in, the script will download your whole movies and vote lists, so it will know which links to highlight. If your Internet connection is very slow and you have several thousands of movies this might take a while. For me, with about 2.000 movies in my list, this operation takes about 2s (but since it happens in the background, I can't notice it at all). If you have any problem, please let me know.

Obs.: right now, the script don't distinguish the categories of "My Movies" list: it will highlight in the same way movies marked as "Seen", "Must See" or any other category. If someone wants to add a GUI to enable the user to select how to highlight each category, please go ahead (and let me know). ;-)

From http://makerfaire.com/pub/e/1303:

Epiphany, Mumbatu and Ecstasy are three of the figures from "Crude Awakening," a massive collaboration created for the Burning Man event in 2007. One hundred and eighty people contributed in some fashion to the construction of the 100' tall "Revered Oil Derrick," the eight 30' tall figures of the faithful, the fantabulous and explosive pyrotechnics show, the original musical score, and the unforgettable finale that was seared into the minds of the 45,000 who witnessed it.

The updated and working script is available here (current version: 1.24, 2008-11-04). Click on the "install this script" button.

If you don't know what this is all about...

This is a Greasemonkey script to manage view and fave group memberships and display fav/view ratios.

As the "Fave Ratios" tab of this great script from JPO was not working anymore, I decided to update and share it here. His original script and some more details are here.

You have to see this one large (or even larger)!

Esta precisa ser vista ampliada (ou no tamanho máximo)!

BTW, this is the 500th photo I uploaded on my photostream (including a few private pictures, so you'll see a different number), which is reaching a total of 15.000 views. Thank you all for your kind words and faves! They stimulate me to be a better photographer and deserve them. ;-)

Esta é a 500ª foto no meu photostream (incluindo algumas particulares, portanto vocês vêem um total diferente), que está próximo de atingir 15.000 visitas. Obrigado a todos pelos comentários e favoritos! Eles me incentivam a sempre melhorar como fotógrafo e assim merecê-los. ;-)

"Monumento Natural das Falésias"

Fotografia Aérea com Pipa em Morro Branco (Beberibe, CE - Brasil).
(Melhor vista ampliada)

Labirinto de areias coloridas. Há 12 cores de areia, que são usadas na confecção de desenhos em garrafas. Estas falésias estavam sendo gradualmente destruídas pela remoção da areia e por vandalismo, mas agora os nativos supervisionam o local para evitar depredações, e a areia para artesanato vem de outro local. A maior parte da população local vive do turismo, que é a maior força motivadora de preservação.

This is a maze of naturally colored sand. There are 12 different colors in total, used by the locals for making sand art bottles and other handicrafts. These cliffs were being destroyed from the excessive removal of the sand, but also by vandalism. The place is now being supervised by the locals to avoid more depredation, and the sand used for art is being collected at another site. Most part of the local population now depends on the tourism, the main reason behind the preservation efforts.
