FYI, I was able to get the kext upgrade info from the old msiwind forums. You may be able to find a copy of the forum by searching google cached web sites.

That is one amazing project you’ve got there.

I am working on salvaging a built in iSight from a macbook that i trashed two years ago, and making it an external webcam. I was going to do the exact same thing you did, using a usb-connector, but i am stuck with the very fine cables and have absolutely no idea what colour will match the ones of my usb-cable (except of course the ground connections). If you are interested in just taking a look at the cables in a picture, and maybe give me some tips, then e-mail me at nilsbog@gmail.com. Your help would be highly appreciated.

Aaron, the Plantronics device is long gone; but it was just an HID compliant USB audio interfaces. There is no need for it though native sound works.

Hey, that’s a pretty nice job between the dead Macbook and the MSI Desktop. I’m considering getting that same MSI Barebone desktop (got one for my mom, it’s a nice little PC) but I want to run Mac OSX (10.5) on it and haven’t found a solution to the unsupported sound. What’s that Plantronics USB thing you are using for sound output? I want to use this OSX86 machine as a replacement to the Macbook I’m using as a media/file/web/development server. If you could post the name any model number of that USB thing here (and email it to me?), that would be great and really helpful to other hackint0shers.

Hi
I finally succeeded by “posting new picture” and stripping the [img] tags as you suggested.
This is to get around the size limitations imposed by stumbleupon.
Yes, it’s probably a change in their site.
The extension is still useful to me, thanks.

Perhaps it was a change in how Stumbleupon allows you to make posts?

All that the extension does is take the image URL, copy the image URL and wrap it with IMG tags [IMG]image URL here[/IMG]

And that is the same thing that it does now.

On StumbleUpon have you tried the post new “Picture” link instead of “Blog”. On the post new “Picture” feature you just need the URL without the image tags.

If you are trying to post an image inline in a blog post on StumbleUpon, it appears that you have to use actual HTML…

for example:

< (DONT USE THE PARENTHESIS HERE)img src="http://www.ccdwell.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1.jpg" alt="" />

instead of:

[img]http://www.ccdwell.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1.jpg[/img]

I am not sure if this is a change on how StumbleUpon handles posts, as I have never used this feature of StumbleUpon. But the functionality of the extension hasn’t changed at all.

I will spend some more time looking into the changelogs for StumbleUpon to see if they changed something recently.

Regards,
Bill

Hi,
I use the extension on my stumbleupon pages ( see above website address )but the latest imgtag3 update doesn’t do what the last one did. Your previous one worked up until the 3.5 firefox.
Steps 1 Go to page http://www.ccdwell.com/?p=3013
Step 2 Right click menu > Make Img Tag
Step 3 Paste into review page of my stumbleupon blog
Step 4 refresh page> all that appears is the code text as follows
[img]http://www.ccdwell.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/1.jpg[/img]
The same with other websites.
I know this isn’t your job or anything but it’s great you’re doing it.

Hi Phil; thanks for the comment. …Are you saying that something is not working properly now? I am not quite sure what you were saying. I know that my old update stopped working on FF 3.5; but I made another update to it and the new extension is at the very top of this post.

If it is misbehaving, can you please provide me with the steps required to duplicate the problem and I will look into it.

Thanks again.
