Take 2 - Improved LifeHacker Category Viewer GreaseMonkey Script

I've reworked the LifeHacker category viewer GreaseMonkey script to make it dynamic.

If you running Firefox and have installed GreaseMonkey and this script and have it enabled, then if you visit their archives web page, it'll initial redisplay that page ans give you a list of all the LifeHacker posting categories.

If you click on one, it'll automatically append links for all the posts for that category just below the category name, and adjust the category name to be a hyper-link that will take you directly to the start of the posts in that LifeHacker category. If it's a category with a lot of posts, then it will automatically follow the "next" links at the bottom of each page to get all the entries.

Again, my thanks to Tyler Trafford for great GreaseMonkey mentoring tips towards tweaking this script so it'll do exactly what I wanted. (Apologies for the appalling alliteration. I've been reading too many Jack Kirby comics recently).

Some of the new techniques I've used in this script open up some amazing possibilities for things that can be done with GreaseMonkey.

As Nivi says:

Greasemonkey will blow up business models (as well as your mind)
