I can successfully load it (Chromium 18.0.1025.151, Ubuntu 11.10).
I only encountered one problem, when I literally dragged the code to nano: Some newlines were truncated, causing code to be commented. Check whether you correctly copy-pasted the code.

When the extension loads, but "nothing happens", check the console for errors. The console for the background page can be opened by following these steps.
