Helpful Firefox Alert

When uninstalling an extension, you get the following alert:

Uninstall FaviconizeTab

If you uninstall FaviconizeTab, the functionality it offers will no longer be available. Do you want to uninstall FaviconizeTab?

Oh, so that’s what uninstalling does.

Haiku #33: Homework

Deadline of a month
Sitting here at two A.M.
Will I ever sleep?

There must be a reason why I always wait until the last few hours with my homework. I’ll soon be able to sleep — after I’ve finished writing a commentary about Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Google Reader Error

I just refreshed my Google Reader tab. I don’t know why, probably a bad habit. The frame-like element to the right of the subscription list and below the “webmaster@example.com | Settings | My Account | Help | Sign Out ”

Oops!

That wasn’t supposed to happen.

Apparently, it wasn’t supposed to happen.

Dream #15: Being a Protoss Carrier

I don’t remember much, but I were a Protoss Carrier flying around and sending Interceptors to Wraiths. That’s all.

Facade

Do the bees never doubt
their queen, their hive
their only light?

Do you never feel
amiss, apart
and lead astray?

Guide us to our dreams!
We blindly trust
your caring hand.

But look!

Your guarding hand,
its nails sanguine,
fingertips of coldest teal.

And rotten core,
a viper’s heart
of deepest oceans’ black.

Haiku #32: MegaHAL Recoil

Put my soul in script
My creation comes online
Joins. Says I am gay

I just implemented MegaHAL in a Perl IRC-bot. It went online, and after a few minutes pointed out my sexual preferences among other things. Never nurse a MegaHAL bot — it will bite your hand off.

How To Remove Labels in Google IG “To-Do List” Module

I just went to my Google IG start page in order to remove an item on my To-Do List module. To my despair, there were no delete-X:es to be found! Apparently, the X:s can’t be seen when you have long labels in your to-do list. Just remove or shorten the long labels, and the X:s will become visible once again.

XFN Discriminates In-bred Families

XFN, or The XHTML Friends Network, is a set of attributes to add to hyperlinks in order to map out relations between bloggers. Their site says the following:

All values are optional and may be combined, except some categories only allow at most one from the category, e.g. only one family relationship per person.

What if your sibling is your spouse? Tough luck, you can’t use XFN!

IE6 Error: Pure Virtual Function Call (R6025)

I was in school and so had to use Internet Explorer 6. When I tried to access the feed for the Google Analytics blog through Google Reader, the following error suddenly poped up.

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

R6025
- pure virtual function call

And IE died. Never seen it before.

Dream #14: Playing “Track” with an Old Lady

I was biking to some old ruins because I had to bake cookies. When I got there I saw an old house, and entered. An old lady lived there, and she invited me to stay. She started making pancakes in the shapes of Disney characters, and challenged me to a game of Track. Apparently, Track was a combination of chess and Shogi, Japanese chess, which she had been playing for a long time. I also saw my aunt there.

After a while, one of my classmates found the house and entered, too. He played a weird puzzle, which had a lot of wooden bricks that you were supposed to fit into a square, but failed. We went to the city.

In the city, I carried my bag of ten computers while my friend carried his of one. A thief stole both of them and ran away, but I followed and caught him after another friend of mine, whom I hadn’t met for eight years, crashed into him by bike. I said hello to the cyclist and when back.

I passed a street fight, where my girlfriend’s boyfriend (who apparently wasn’t me) starred. He was being beaten down. He, I and my girlfriend went to the old lady’s house to sleep. I was alone in a big sound-proof room, and thought that she was going to kill me when I slept. Fortunately, the two others first entered, and my girlfriend sent me a text message that she really loved me. After this, the lady entered and brought with her a very big widescreen TV.

We asked her why she was so rich, and she replied that she didn’t know. I asked again, and she explained that her husband was studying (which seemed logical at the time). She also said that it was nice to be rich, because she didn’t have to worry about “consuming resources”.

Then, I woke up.
