A movie everyone should own

February 8th, 2010 by dan

As a child of the 90s, I couldn’t let this bonafide Top Drop go unnoticed.  Fellow camel enthusiasts, I submit to you Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II – The Secret of the Ooze on DVD.

This morning around 1:30am, its price dropped from $9.99 to $5.49; that puts it within $0.50 of its lowest price ever, and since that was way back in November 2008, I think the current price is quite a good value.

Eat a slice of nostalgia pie and snag this movie at Amazon.com.  And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll be watching it in two days or less and the shipping will be free!

The Camelizer for Google Chrome v1.2 released

February 2nd, 2010 by dan

After a handful of bug reports regarding our Camelizer extension, I took to the code mines with my cosmic shovel and extracted something more stable.  This update fixes the conflicts our extension was causing with sites like Hulu, and also those using the Lightbox javascript library.

This is one of those updates that everyone should download (particularly if you’ve never tried the Camelizer before.)  Get it here: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ghnomdcacenbmilgjigehppbamfndblo

And if you have any problems with any version of the Camelizer, head over to our forum and post in the Camelizer for Chrome support thread.

Update

Recently we found out that the Camelizer is listed as a Featured extension on the Google Chrome extensions website. Here is a screenshot to commemorate the featuredness:

This highlights the importance of user reviews, as being on the Featured list means we get more downloads, and more downloads means we’re able to make our sites better and better. In that spirit, please consider taking a moment to rate/review the Camelizer, no matter which browser you use.

Mozilla Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14392

Google Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ghnomdcacenbmilgjigehppbamfndblo

We appreciate it!

Price history chart loading speed improved

February 2nd, 2010 by dan

A quick update for you: I just launched some changes to our Camel price history charts that should, in most cases, halve the time it takes to generate a chart.

For the geeks keeping score, max. response times went from about 400ms to 200ms on uncached charts; requests for cached charts respond in about 20ms.
