Hee!

This is only the second time that I've managed to catch the fox spirits in the Firefox Gmail template I'm using:



(If you use Firefox Gmail, you can set it to use custom templates with pictures in them - the one I'm using has a little fox who lives at a temple. Over the course of the day, it changes to reflect the time of day, and the little fox does different things like eat, feed the birds, take care of the peach trees, etc. The fox spirits show up in the wee hours of the morning, so I only catch them if the scene is a bit late in changing. XD)

ETA: You can also download templates for Firefox, although they don't change. :D See comments.

:O How?! Share your secrets!

Aaarg, I meant Gmail for this nifty one that changes - Gmail->Settings->Themes.

You can use themes in Firefox also, with add-ons (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:2). If you look for Foxkeh themes on Google, that's the Japanese mascot for Mozilla. :D

I had no idea this was available. Thanks for sharing!

...that makes me want to switch to using Gmail. <3 They're adorable.

It's sort of fascinating to watch the wee fox go about his day. :D

Oh yeah, I love that theme. I've used it on google for ages, and I've only seen the fox spirits ONCE. Recently found that the same theme (with all different images!) was available for gmail too, and started using it. Yay, more cute fox.

I actually find it kind of helpful - it reminds me that it is time to eat lunch, do laundry and drink tea. (well, I usually drink tea anyway - but now I have the company of a cute little fox.)

I have the ninja theme for gmail and the fox for iGoogle. But I've never seen the spirits!

EEEEEEEEEEE! I had no idea you could do that! I'm getting gmail foxes now!

It's watering the little birdie!!!

Oh hay! Greasemonkey!

What scripts do you use?

[identity profile] telophase.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Now that LJ's added the Expand thing to comment threads, none, actually. :D I have a script that limits access to the intartubes off-campus to a certain amount of time per day that does increase my productivity ... when I bother to activate it.

[identity profile] badnoodles.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got a few - one that disables contextual text ads, one that scrubs twitter updates from LJ, and one that places an "Expand All" option at the top of a comment thread, so I only have to click once to open up to 10 levels of nested comments.

Ooh, where did you get that last one?

Where is the one that scrubs Twitter updates (I HATE those!)?

[identity profile] badnoodles.livejournal.com 2009-03-25 03:16 am (UTC)(link)

You'll have to edit the script based on what layout you use. For "Classic", it's 3 to completely remove the twitter post, 1 just to remove the tweets. I don't know about any of the other layouts.

Amusing! :)

They're playing Go! Well, that settles it: the fox spirits it is.

...Once I get over the Ninjas.

Do they ever defeat the monster? I've seen them fighting it, but no resolution!

[identity profile] kintail.livejournal.com 2009-03-24 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I have the same gmail theme (and the matching iGoogle theme) and I saw the fox spirits play go for the first time this morning too -- totally made my morning. ^___^
