Spotify link updater

Don't you find it annoying when somebody has posted a spotify link like this http://open.spotify.com/track/6JEK0CvvjDjjMUBFoXShNZ and you don't know what track it is?

This can easily be solved by using my latest userscript: The Spotify link updater

About the script
After some googling I finally found a website that decodes spotify URIs created by Toni Viemerö. With the use of this website the script was easily achieved.
One feature is that the script will cache the 30 (you can adjust this number yourself) latest request results so Toni's website won't be spammed with requests.

The script will not work with sites that dynamically load it's content such as Facebook and I haven't put any time into fixing that. If anybody has a suggestion on how to solve that issue please leave a comment.

Spotify release spreadsheet userscript

I love Spotify and I usually browser through their release speadsheets in search for new and old music that I like.

One thing that always bothered me is that whenever I found something I liked I had to copy and paste something in order to find the music in Spotify. Quite the waist considering they have implemented their link support. I mean, the spotify: links are right there in the spreadsheet but you can't click on them so you still have to paste the link to the address bar to access the album you want.

To solve this I have created a userscript to change the links so you're only a click away from listening to the album you want to check out.

Install the first version of the Spotify release spreadsheet userscript, it requires the Greasemonkey plugin for FireFox.

Note: You have to click on the link "Create Spotify links" in the header to generate the links.

Facebook Event fix update 1.4

Sorry that it took so long but I've been quite busy at work.

The script should now be working again, you just need to upgrade to version 1.4

I haven't had any time to test it thoroughly yet but it should work for now :)

Move the Facebook events list to the top of the page with greasemonkey

After Facebook once again updated it's homepages design, I myself along with alot of friends have become very irritaded that the Event box in the right column has been moved to the bottom.

I have to say that I find the Events and Birthdays box a bit more important than a Suggesstions box filled with people that I don't know.

So to end this misserable design flaw I have created a Greasemonkey user script to move the Event  box to the top!

Install the Faceboox Event Fix userscript

Please report any bugs or leave suggestion in the comments

Update 1: Added some functionality to support Facebooks ajax page loading
Update 2: Updated the script for better stability
