PageAddict: Don’t Reset Statistics

I downloaded PageAddict an hour ago. It’s a Firefox-extension that records the time that you spend on every domain locally (which means that no information is collected by other parties) and shows you nice statistics. I looked through their FAQ, and apparently the detailed statistics are reset every night. Since I am a statisticsophile, I had to do something about it:

  • First, go to your extension folder. Mine is in /home/Tim/.mozilla/firefox/9von9jbp.default/extensions/.
  • Find out which folder is for the PageAddict plugin. Mine was {5d393167-8b1c-4ce1-8593-0ba5f39f3210}/, but I suppose that is completely irrelevant.
  • Open the content/pageaddict.js file. You might need to be super-user to edit it.
  • Comment out the reset_visits() function’s content bu putting double slashes (//) in fron of every row except the first and last ones.
  • Surf on without fear of losing your statistics!

Note that I’m certainly not sure about this solution to the problem: It’s an untested on-the-fly fix which was committed without any knowledge about the PageAddict extension, or any Firefox extensions for that matter.

Dream #13: Duct Tape Police and Apple Parade

I was in the bathroom along with two friends, when we heard someone entering the room. It was a thief family, complete with father, mother and a child. We opened the door, but they told us to sit still. I asked if I could get my trousers (which I already were wearing), and when I went to get them, I sent an SMS to my mother that she should call the police. After this, the robbers went to steal stuff, like screens and TVs. I followed one of them asking questions in order to keep them a bit longer

After a while, the door opened, and a police stood there. I ran out to him, but when I did, the female thief shouted that I was her son. The police believed her. When I told him that she was lying, the police told me that he had come for some duct tape and that his time was too valuable to solve this.

He drived home again, and the thieves finished their job. Then the Separate Marriage and Apple Parade (don’t ask) came to the town, and everyone was happy.

Haiku #31: :o)

Seemingly surprised
Hypocrisy of the nose
Hiding smile so sweet

Every time I see the infernal “:o)” smiley of Hell, I am tricked to think that the user is surprised (from the “:o”), when they are in fact happy. I hate that nose. It also ruins the general view on face proportions — what if you are surprised and have a nose? “:oo”? “:o)”-users have something to explain.

My Name is John

I got this mail from deboraludue@boghos.com (”Vern Hawk”):

Hi john.
How are you ? Call me.

Looks like they forgot to put the URL in there. Either that, or I’m supposed to reply to verify the address.
