How to make the Webster's 1913 your default Kindle dictionary

How to make the Webster's 1913 your default Kindle dictionary

  1. Download a Kindle-compatible version of the dictionary here. Unzip the .rar archive.

  2. Get the "Send to Kindle" program on your computer. Here's the link for the Mac.

  3. Right-click your recently downloaded (unzipped) dictionary file, and click the "Send to Kindle" menu item. It will arrive on your Kindle shortly.

  4. Once the dictionary has arrived, go to your settings -- on my newish paperwhite, it's at Home > Settings > Device Options > Language and Dictionaries > Dictionaries > English. Choose the Webster's 1913.

[Linux] [Firefox] Open link in browser, which is in current workspace

I use separate Firefox profiles for work and personal stuff. To distinguish those I place them on different workspaces.

  • Workspace 0: firefox --no-remote -P MyJob
  • Workspace 1: firefox --no-remote -P default

I have also company Slack on Workspace 0. Which usually contains links to some work stuff.

Fast, instant client side search for Hugo static site generator

Super fast, keyboard-optimized, client side Hugo search

This is a fork of and builds upon the work of Eddie Webb's search and Matthew Daly's search explorations.

It's built for the Hugo static site generator, but could be adopted to function with any json index compatible with Fuse fuzzy search library.

To see it in action, go to craigmod.com and press CMD-/ and start typing.
