Do you want to quickly edit the text of any webpage that you are browsing? Maybe you wanted to see how the site looks if you change some words. Here is a neat Javascript trick that you can use to edit the text part of the web page.

Do note that you can’t save the changed text onto the server or is this any means to hack a web server. If you refresh the page, all the changes you made will disappear. You can however save the resulting HTML if you goto File -> Save as.

Fedora Core 6 is now available as a live CD. This is great news to the old fedora fans out there. Fedora is a project that is sponsored by RedHat and is contributed by many developers around the world. These people create high quality open source software which can be used by anyone.

It was a great distro back in those old days. But after Ubuntu came along, it lost its place. I haven’t tried FC for the past 2 years and this live CD would be a nice way to try it.

The live CD is available for i386 architecture only and you can download it from the official website or from torrents. It is about 683mb.
