Monkey Island 1: The Secret of Monkey Island running via Javascript

Some fine fellow has written some Javascript that runs one of my favourite games in the browser.  I just watched the opening cutscene of Monkey Island in Firefox!

It’s still a bit buggy, but it’s a start!

Sync Thunderbird with your Google Contacts

There are a bunch of add-ons out there to help you sync Thunderbird with your Google Contacts.

I want to share my favourite one with you.

Simply named, “Google Contacts”, this add-on automatically detects if you have a GMail account in your profile, and does the rest of the heavy lifting for you.

Honestly, it’s as easy as falling off a bike.

Get it here.

So a big thank you to the add-on developer, H. Ogi!
