UPDATE: all gone!

An IM conversation a little earlier today:

Peter Upfold: digg lol
Peter Upfold: ;D
Chris Van Patten: hahahaha
Chris Van Patten: wow i can’t believe i did that
Peter Upfold: that’s what the web does to you 😛

Also posted on Chris’s Tumblr but I wanted to repost it here too. 😉

Thanks to Preferences dialogue regression in Firefox 2.0, the option to force all links that would open in a new window to open in tabs instead disappeared. Which is pretty stupid.

Just wiped out my old, bloated Firefox profile on my Kubuntu desktop here and suddenly, horror of horrors, it starts opening new windows instead of new tabs. I can’t use the Preferences dialogue, so…

browser.link.open_newwindow in about:config needs to be set to 3. Someone should make an extension which can change all these preferences that didn’t make the cut to 2.x from the GUI.

All fixed now.

Skitch – it has a bit of a quirky and unusual UI, but it is admittedly a very cool application.

Nothing like a bit of lolcode.

Middle – IM and other random windows so I can stay in contact and stash stuff I want close. Only 1024×768, but ah well.

Right – code open in (one of) the world’s greatest web development IDE(s) – Quanta.

In town on a lunch break recently and as me and my friends walked past a travel agent, I noticed this:

It’s on a little LCD screen which is supposed to display the latest great deals on travel and entice people walking by to come in, but apparently someone didn’t notice that a slight bug crept in.

🙂

What fun you can have by pointing a camera at a monitor displaying the video feed from that camera.

Enjoy.

You can do this with VNC if you’re not lucky enough to have dual monitors. Beware though, you can lock up your system if you use VNC. So save stuff first. 🙂

It took a bit longer than expected, but I’ve finally managed to top myself on Google, so searching for Peter Upfold in Google now takes you to the new URL (the old one redirects, but the new one is better and we want people linking to the new not the old).

Yahoo actually managed to get there a few days quicker than Google, so credit there. Microsoft Live Search is still reporting the old URL at the top (the new one is listed below as a separate entity despite there being permanent redirect codes being issued by the old one). And Live, no I did not mean peter uphold.

Actually I’m really lucky that my name is unusual enough that I can top search engines for my name. Very lucky. +1 for weird names.
