FireSpider is a an extension for Firebug that can help you find broken or misleading urls and optimize your web page for search engines. Extension enables you start and the stop the spider. After pressing the
start button it fetch the current url and parses the content for new
urls. Every unique url is fetch only once. It follows only the current
domain urls and detects its content type. Not html content types are
reported. Besides fetching, firebug panel gives you information
about page title, page where url was got from, its link name and
loading time. Reported are also not found urls and ones went in time
out after 10 seconds. Requests are send one after another, so some sites
may find it to aggressive or may detect you as a dangerous script. Be careful.
This is the first version (hope not the last) and first extension i ever made. Some things may not be very well done, but the basic functionalities are working, i think. Try it and tell me what you think. Hope you find it useful.

Tested with firefox 3.0.3, i don't know about previous versions. For instance, try to rename style.css to style.txt and include it into html header. Firefox show no style applied, while Internet Explorer 7 had no problems including .txt styles. I don't know why is that so, is this a bug or intended behaviour. I think that styles should be included regardless file extension, otherwise header link tag type=text/css have no meaning.
I don't know if this only happens in FF3 and Opera 9.5 or even in earlier versions, but when you are clicking on web site with embedded flash the whole site blinks, like it is redrawn again. If i describe you in a slow motion, it first shows the white background and then the page. For instance, open youtube and try clicking on videos thumbnails on a side. Do you see the blinking? This must be some kind of browser or maybe even flash bug, because IE and Safari are rendering pages just fine. Its also interesting that this only happens on windows, meanwhile same browser in linux rendering just fine. Tested with firefox 3.0.1 and opera 9.5 and flash player 9.0 r124.
Hi, i finally took some time to refresh my site, blog or whatever. Actually it's completely rewritten and it is now using my mini CMS called xAdmin as a back-end. I will be probably introduce to you in some future post. Because i'm really bad at choosing colors and styles I took some style from the bloggers themes and i can say i'm satisfied for now. But i must tell you that i almost lost everything i did just before finishing up. I accidentally droped the database :/. i had luck, actually it took me two hours to recover the data from mysql binary log. i didn't know that it can be done :). Ok i don't have much to say..hear ya.
greetings
For those who never been here, this page is standing online for quite awhile now, but it was more or less static till now. I finally took sometime and add some functionality to it, like easy posting and commenting(with my mini cms:)). btw my english is really bad and I'm not so good at writing so I'll be short ...hope you'll have fun like i do :)
