Android Bookmarklet - Reader View (Simplified Page)

In chrome on android the "Simplified Page" feature does not have a button. If for some reason the browser decides not to display the layover toast message to access this feature, then the user is unable to enter "simplified view". The solution to this problem has been discussed before on Stack Overflow here, where they suggest opening a url to access a local resource on the browser cache. The local resource URL is formatted as follows:

chrome-distiller://<UUID>_<HASH>/?url=<URL>

It is not permitted to perform a javascript redirect to a local resource in the browser, however it is possible to display the URL as text.

0. Don't have a SIM card in when you're updating radio firmware or it will bomb out partway through as it changes from internal IP to IP passthrough
1. Disable external IP passthrough mode: Network Setting -> Broadband -> Cellular APN -> #1 -> Modify icon -> "IP Passthrough" slider to off
2. Use "management" Wi-Fi AP as general Wi-Fi AP (with limitations) -> Network Setting -> Bridge1 -> Modify icon -> Move the Wi-Fi AP interface to the pane on the right alongside LAN1
NOTE: by default, once you do the above, the router will happily pass traffic from devices on the Wi-Fi AP to other devices on the LAN1 subnet, but will block traffic originating from the Wi-Fi AP from exiting to the Internet via the LTE side of the device. You can clumsily hack around this by setting another device, e.g. another Wi-Fi AP or Raspberry Pi or Cray supercomputer, as the default gateway for the LAN1 subnet in your DHCP server config, and pointing *that* device at the Zyxel as *its* default GW. This adds additional hops, but enabl

Load Disqus comments only on demand if you give a shit about page weight and your visitors. Even with no comments, i.e. an empty comment form, calling Disqus will load an extra 226Kb. If your page has comments this can be far higher. This Gist accompanies my blog post: http://internet-inspired.com/wrote/load-disqus-on-demand/
// Requires jQuery of course.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.show-comments').on('click', function(){
var disqus_shortname = 'YOUR-DISQUS-USERNAME'; // Replace this value with *your* username.

$.ajax({
type: "GET",

A very simple Node HTTP proxy that proxies requests to the server given in the GET or POST URL. Heavily inspired by http://www.catonmat.net/http-proxy-in-nodejs/.
//
// How to use:
//
// 1. Start node:
// node nodeproxy.js
// 2. Send a URL like this:
// http://localhost:8080/http://www.google.com
//
// Watch www.google.com come through your local HTTP proxy.
