Greasemonkey makes real estate fun!

Nisha and I started seriously looking at getting a house recently. It being the 21st Century means large amounts of our house hunting time will be spent on the Internet; specifically rmlsweb.com a regional real estate listing service.

A huge annoyance with the site is that it uses a pretty lame mapping service called “GeoJet” which generates horrible looking maps.

Naturally, I started Googling for Greasemonkey scripts to find out if someone had fixed this already and sure enough my friend Kees Cook had written a user script in 2006!

With a little modification I got it working great with the new RMLS site. You can find it at git://ifup.org/philips/rmls-mapper.git or install the latest version now!

Brandon Philips by Mujtaba Ali

ifup.org is the weblog of Brandon Philips and contains excerpts from my code, work and play.

I write Linux software and work on the systems layer of Linux. In the last two years I have helped to organize Linux Plumbers Conf and Freedom HEC Taipei. It has been rewarding to bring together these communities to discuss current Linux issues.

Robotics is another passion and I had the opportunity to mentor a FIRST Robotics team in Portland recently too. I also continue to work with my friend Ron Jackson to build some neat USB devices for robotics.
