  • Quick Tip: Pinning Tabs in Chrome

    Did you know if you right-click on a tab in Chrome (cross platform) you have an option to permanently place a tab in the tab bar? I’ve been using Chrome as my default browser for the last few months and while I’d seen the option before I’d never actually looked into it.

    This really comes in handy for websites you normally load/visit each time you open Chrome, and while I’m a big fan of starting fresh each time I open my browser there are certain sites I open every time, like Google Mail, Google Analytics, etc. so pinning is a nice time saver.

    Pinning is pretty self explanatory, on any platform (Windows, OS X, Linux) just right click the tab you’d like to pin and select Pin Tab.

    Right click on any tab and select "Pin Tab"
    You’ll now get a nice shrunk down tab for that website added to the far left side of the tab bar.

    And if you decide you’d like to remove a pinned tab, just right click on it and select Unpin Tab.

  • Welcome to the new Hijinks Inc.

    Welcome to the new Hijinks Inc.

    Boom. New site layout, new features, we even threw in a bit of that fresh new website smell. Same great content, now with just a bit more style.

    We’ve upgraded our WordPress install to 3.0, added in an email subscription option for our RSS feed, as well as the ability to subscribe only to posts by a particular author, improved threading of comments, fixed some server side issues which were causing random 500 errors, and we’ve launched a shiny new mobile website for Android, iPhone, and iPad.

    Apologizes to those visiting our site during the upgrade process, it took quite a bit longer than expected to finish. And we’re technically not 100% done yet, so there might be a few minor glitches over the next few days, so please report any problems you run into with the site.

  • Site Maintenance

    Just a heads up, Hijinks Inc. will be going under the knife around 12:00 AM CST. The site will continue to load, but expect random errors, jumbled looking pages, and missing content until around 1 or 2 AM

    If you want an uninterrupted browsing experience, I suggest accessing Hijinks Inc. from your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad as the mobile version of our site should not be affected.

    It will be worth it, we promise.
