What would you like to see on a Blue Obelisk Firefox toolbar? Here are
some ideas, some of which I think are trivial to implement, would be
instantly useful and greatly increase our world domination:
(1) Click on the little protein button, and all pdb codes in the text
become highlighted, and change into hyperlinks that start Jmol in a
popup. This simply requires basic pattern matching for PDB codes.
(2) Click on the little blog button, and all DOIs or article names
that have been 'chemical blogspaced' get text like "[2 blog
comments]", which is hyperlinked to chemical blogspace. (Relies on a
chemical blogspace API...does this exist?) This would be especially
useful when used on the ACS TOC pages on the web.
In fact, I found that this has already been done for postgenomic.com,
and with a few tweaks it now works for ACS TOC pages at least and
chemical blogspace...see
http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~noel/PDB/findPDB.html for the Greasemonkey
script and installation instructions. It's pretty cool, actually :-)
but praise should go to the original author Pedro Beltrao.
(3) A drop down menu providing links to various BO aligned websites.
(4) A link to the mailing list.
(5) Depending on whether we get some reliable web services set up, you
could have a button to send put the text of a web page through OSCAR
and markup all chemical terms a la Project Prospect.
(6) Click on the InChI button, and all InChIs in the text become
hyperlinks to google searches
(These ideas tie in with recent blogs by Andrew on Web 2.0 and Egon on
Greasemonkey.)
