To see a world in a grain of sand

To see a world in a grain of sand
and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour.

FYF: Warning – new virus out there!

There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by hand.This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK).

If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest pub. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE).

The quickest acting WINE type is called Swift-Hitting-Infiltrator-Remover-All-Zones (SHIRAZ) but this is only available for those who can afford it, the next best equivalent is Cheapest-Available-System-Killer (CASK). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

Forward this warning to five friends. If you do not have five friends you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

This virus is DEADLY (Destroys-Every-Available-Decent-Living-Youngster).

Update 05-05-05:After extensive testing it has been concluded that Best-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be substituted for WINE but may require a more generous application.

Modify Firefox 1.5 to work with all extensions

For all of those who just downloaded Firefox 1.5 and can’t get your extensions to work. This is a simple modification of Firefox’s configuration to trick the extensions to work. No need to manually edit the extensions to get them to work. Currently all the extensions I use work except the bookmark sync extension that I so dearly want to.

1. 1. At the location bar, enter: about:config. This will show you a list of Firefox internal preferences.
2. • Right-click on the list
   • select New | String
3. Then, enter ’1.0′ (without quotes) as the value for app.extensions.version.
4. Restart Firefox 1.5, then enable those disabled Firefox extensions.
5. Restart Firefox 1.5 again to active the extensions.
6. Done.

Personally I think this is the best solution because you can always go back and delete the string later rather then fiddling with the extensions.

[UPDATE]

if you change 1.0 back to 1.5 Spoofstick [and potentially others] will continue to work and can also look for updates.

She’s a very kinky girl
The kind you don’t take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band
She says that I’m her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it’s the right time
She’s never hard to please

That girl is pretty wild now
The girl’s a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazines
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl’s a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She’s all right, she’s all right
That girl’s all right with me, yeah
She’s a super freak, super freak
She’s super-freaky, yow

Super freak, super freak

She’s a very special girl
The kind of girl you want to know
From her head down to her toenails
Down to her feet, yeah
And she’ll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine Going back in Chinatown

Three’s not a crowd to her, she says
“Room 714, I’ll be waiting”
When I get there she’s got incense, wine and candles
It’s such a freaky scene

That girl is pretty wild now
The girl’s a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazines
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl’s a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She’s all right, she’s all right
That girl’s all right with me, yeah
She’s a super freak, super freak
She’s super-freaky, yow

Temptations sing!
Ohhhhh
Super freak, super freak
That girl’s a super freak
Ohhhhh

She’s a very kinky girl
The kind you don’t take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

Blow, Danny!

Early Browser Style

I believe I lifted this from Eric Meyer‘s Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, 2^ed Ed. from, O’Reilly & Associates Inc.

FILE: nsGold.css

/*
The style sheet provided in this chapter was excerpted from the CSS1 specification and is included here to give authors an idea of how legacy browser behavior in handling HTML can be reproduced, or at least approximated, using CSS1 rules.

A thorough understanding of this style sheet is a good first step to understanding how CSS1 operates. The simpler HTML 2.0 style sheet is reproduced here in order to minimize complexity and possible confusion.

A suggested style sheet for HTML 3.2 is also available on the W3C web site, as part of the CSS2 specification.

This HTML 2.0 style sheet was written by Todd Fahrner, in accordance with the suggested rendering in the HTML 2.0 specification:

*/

BODY
{
margin: 1em;
font-family: serif;
line-height: 1.1;
background: white;
color: black;
}

H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, P, UL, OL, DIR, MENU, DIV,
DT, DD, ADDRESS, BLOCKQUOTE, PRE, BR, HR { display: block }

B, STRONG, I, EM, CITE, VAR, TT, CODE, KBD, SAMP,
IMG, SPAN { display: inline }

LI { display: list-item }

H1, H2, H3, H4 { margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em }
H5, H6 { margin-top: 1em }
H1 { text-align: center }
H1, H2, H4, H6 { font-weight: bold }
H3, H5 { font-style: italic }

H1 { font-size: xx-large }
H2 { font-size: x-large }
H3 { font-size: large }

B, STRONG { font-weight: bolder } /* relative to the parent */
I, CITE, EM, VAR, ADDRESS, BLOCKQUOTE { font-style: italic }
PRE, TT, CODE, KBD, SAMP { font-family: monospace }

PRE { white-space: pre }

ADDRESS { margin-left: 3em }
BLOCKQUOTE { margin-left: 3em; margin-right: 3em }

UL, DIR { list-style: disc }
OL { list-style: decimal }
MENU { margin: 0 } /* tight formatting */
LI { margin-left: 3em }

DT { margin-bottom: 0 }
DD { margin-top: 0; margin-left: 3em }

HR { border-top: solid } /* ‘border-bottom’ could also have been used */

A:link { color: blue } /* unvisited link */
A:visited { color: red } /* visited links */
A:active { color: lime } /* active links */

/* setting the anchor border around IMG elements requires contextual selectors */

A:link IMG { border: 2px solid blue }
A:visited IMG { border: 2px solid red }
A:active IMG { border: 2px solid lime }

javascript utility: parseURL(srcURL, element)

Been hiding out in XSLT land for quite awhile now looks like the browsers out there have changed some of the javascript functions. More standard I hope!

I remember being able to do calls like:

• document.URL.protocol
• document.URL.host
• document.URL.port
• document.URL.path
• document.URL.filename
• document.URL.query

but no more it seams. I’m I forgetting something? [ old age ]

Anyways, because of that, I wrote this little utility

parseURL(srcURL, element)

It’s not fully robust – but if you have suggetions please comment.

Sorry the blog’s messing the code format.

Know fow to fix it?. Please let me know.
