One of the ways how to remotely control Firefox is to use the JSSh (JavaScript Shell) plug-in. To successfully install the plug-in, it is necessary to find a suitable version for your Firefox version (1.x, 2.x, 3.x) and platform (Linux, Mac, Win). That is sometimes not so trivial…

Additionally there is a limitation in the plug-in: its communication port number cannot be (easily) changed, so it is not possible to start more JSSh (and Firefox) instances.

First, the actual status is described, later a new version of the JSSh plug-in is provided with examples.

A new version of Rhotoalbum, a simple but powerful photo album generator written in Ruby, has been released.

The version 0.6 contains a lot of new features such as album statistics (number of photos, number of albums), EXIF support (exposure time, focal length, f-number and camera model), automatic album thumbnail creation from the first album photo, relative links and several bug fixes.

If you would like to know more, please, check the Rhotoalbum page.
