Mozilla Labs, Weave

Mozilla Weave is a great replacement for the - now defunct - Google browser Sync. Unfortunately, the folks over at Mozilla don't think the project deserves a better infrastructure, since it's still in alpha phase. Leaving all of us with a product that just doesn't work. In other words, Weave aint weaving jack. Alas, there is a solution. In fact it's so simple and quick, there no reason to wait. Weave connects to a WebDAV folder on their server, but in the add-on preferences in Firefox you can change that. Point it to a new WebDAV folder, and you're done.
For those of us who don't have access to WebDAV folders, there's a company somewhere in Sweden, who happily provides us with free 2Gb's of WebDAV brilliance. Hip-hip-hooray for MyDisk.se Step by Step, oh baby... (sic)
  1. Goto mydisk.se and create a new account
  2. Follow the instructions there to connect your MyDisk account to your PC/Mac (click connect MyDisk)
  3. When connected, enter your MyDisk folder, and create a sub folder called "weave"
  4. Open the weave preferences, and under the advanced tab, change the server to "https://mydisk.se/username/weave/"
  5. Save and sync
You'll need to change the server location parameter on all your weave add-ons (at home etc), but hey, it works! Lightning fast, free and above all... it's that simple! Start Syncing... PS: Dear Mozilla, Weave is great but you don't have a product yet. Until you do, we'll piggy-back on MyDisk...

Review: Open Source Food

If their was a site I'd like to have created, it would be Open Source Food. Not only is the whole "recipe sharing" thing something I've had on my mind lately and also discussed with a friend, it's also very well layed out and designed. Feature complete with all the social goodies you could ask for, this site is a winner, and has earned a spot on my Favorite tool bar. If you're into "cooking up" a recipe now and then, like me, then you're really going to love this site. But even the most proficient chef's out there will still find interesting ideas. A destination for all food lovers!
