Dear Firefox Guys...

When are you planning to fix this?

For anybody that’s interested this is what happens when Firefox tries to restore windows and tabs when using an authenticating proxy server. If I didn’t have the master password set you’d simply see just as many proxy authentication dialogue boxes instead.

Edit: I believe, as of Firefox 3.6.2, that this bug has been fixed.

 

EcoDisc

I just had the misfortune to put one of those new EcoDisc’s in my Powerbooks optical drive before I saw the warning on the back. Damn did I feel suckered?! Luckily I think the publication in question intend to go back to normal DVD’s in future!

Anyway, after some fiddling I managed to get the disc out by carefully sliding a knife about an inch into the drive (avoiding the barrier in the middle of the slot) and then lifting it up as the drive tries to spit the disc out.

 

Awesome Ajax Regex Tool

Regular expressions are one of those tools that’s almost like magic. This makes working with them quite a pain in the arse. Thankfully, tools such as Rex V make working with them much less painful.

 

"Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust"

It’s very rare that find an album that I just can’t stop listening to, but “Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust” (in english “With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly”) by Sigur Rós is one such album. It’s simply stunning! Haunting vocals and wonderful soundscapes are offset by quite edgy sounding drums.

 

Hackintosh

I’m now running my very own Hackintosh! It was a relatively easy install, with just a few tweaks required to get the graphics card working correctly. I had to come to terms with the fact that there were no working drivers for my onboard LAN adapter (nForce 570) and get a PCI Gigabit card. The Netgear GA311 is a good choice.
