Greasemonkey Dict

It’s quite common to lookup dictionaries for words on web pages. I wrote a Greasemonkey script to make life a tad easier for me:

Now I don’t know if there’s such a script already. Anyway, doesn’t matter now. I’m using OneLook to fetch the definition. I know it’s probably not the best thing to do, however, I don’t know of any dictionary services that provide an API. Know any?

Well, I could set one up locally, but that’d work for me only. Oh well. Laters.

Oh yeah, using it: just double click on the word that you want to know the meaning of... if it does mean anything, a ncie box will appear, nothing happens otherwise.

Script’s here. That’s it for now from Monkeyland!
