Nightly Tester Tools for Firefox 2.0

I’ve just installed the Firefox 2.0 RC1 and noticed that almost every extension/add-on I had has been disabled. Firefox 2.0 check if the extension is compatible with the Firefox version and disables it if it is not. You can force firefox to load the extension anyway using the Nightly Tester Tools.

Just because Firefox 2.0 says the extension is incompatible doesn’t mean it won’t work, it only means that the extension’s developer didn’t tested it for firefox 2.0. just that.

Google maps is easy

I decided to give a try to Google Maps API and I found it pretty easy. Currently I’m looking for a jiu-jitsu school near Madrid so I decided to pinpoint all jiu-jitsu schools in a google map. I’ve got the school addresses in this page and put those directly in the page using the geocoder api. Here’s the result, you can see all the code using View Source in the browser menu it’s all embedded javascript.
