Quix Help – Quix
Quix Help
Quix is a bookmarklet which opens a prompt, and then responds to commands. When you type
whois, for instance, it’ll take you to a page with the whois of the domain you’re currently on. It can also understand more complex commands, likegs help, that will make it go to Google, searching the current site for the text “help”.You can also select a word, and use that as extra input for the command. So for instance, when you select the word dictionary, then open Quix and just type
din the prompt, it’ll take you to a Google define: search for the word dictionary. The same would happen if you had not selected anything and typedd dictionarydirectly.The available groups of commands:
- Basic commands
- Social commands
- WordPress
- SEO
- Webmaster
- Quix
- Analytics
- URL Shortening
- App Integration commands
- Mac Integration commands

A kitty needs a home
Our kitty, Rucie, needs a new home... Nobody really knows her age... she was rescued from a crack house two years ago by an animal-loving friend, and we have taken care of her since. Rucie is hesitant and moves with deliberateness. She like to burrow under things and often sleeps facing a corner like she's hiding, which is so cute!
She doesn't like loud noises or things that move. She will only approach you when she needs something, like food or a little attention. If you approach her slowly and quietly, she will let you pet her, which she LOVES... she really loves to be scratched under the chin, and she absolutely LOVES her hair brush (which we would like to stay with her because it makes her so happy).
She will potty in a litter box, which we can include as well, or she will go outside, too, once she starts feeling comfortable in a new home-- it may take her several months, however, to get comfortable. She does NOT like change of any sort. We are renters and had to move in August and October, and she was very unhappy with all the commotion(!) for that stretch. Thus we really would like her to be in a home for a long term, so she can be happy.
