my first user script
Feb 17, 2005, 11:32pm EST
My first (real)
greasemonkey user script is for
adding
user pics to livejournal user links. That is, if you hover over a
livejournal user link (like this one:
idealisms),
the user’s userpic appear above your cursor.
Futhermore, the script use XMLHttpRequests and doesn’t require user intervention because all the requests are made to livejournal.com.
I had actually done something similar in my livejournal S2 style, but I gave up when I realized that there was no way to get userpic urls for most user links in S2. I was reminded of the idea today when I read about a related PHP script.
Hmm, it’s unclear to me whether I should have posted this here on my tech blog or on my more personal livejournal.

This adds more places where once can see the picture e.g. all the names in the useinfo page.
