Localhost like a dog on Windows 7? Uncomment "127.0.0.1 localhost" in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. http://bit.ly/9L49Fx 2nd answer [stephencronin]

@KIntheHouse Your birthday yesterday? Happy Birthday! [stephencronin]

Google is another country http://bit.ly/db9BsB – "They didn’t have a police force, they didn’t have jails, they didn’t have prosecutors" [stephencronin]
|
|
|
I disagree. Google do have a police force (the web spam team). They do have a jail (the sandbox). But no prosecutors – there are no hearings [stephencronin]
|
|
|
RT: @BinaryMoon: I on the other hand, have finally launched WPVote – http://wpvote.com – you can use it to promote your WordPress wares [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@BinaryMoon I’ve registered, logged in & set up profile, but when I try to Submit it asks me to login again (but doesn’t seem to log me in) [stephencronin]
|
|
|
|
|
|
@BinaryMoon Fixed now – I went back to the profile page, logged out there, then logged in again. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Been providing tech support on Windows XP SP3 – Chinese Version. Unresolved as yet. Think Windows is corrupted or there’s a virus at play. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Supporting Chinese Windows never gets easier, though I’ve been doing it (occasionally) for years – perhaps if I learnt to read Chinese? [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@BinaryMoon Can’t see a link to view my submissions. http://wpvote.com/author/stephencronin/ works. Perhaps add a link somewhere? [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@BinaryMoon Also for the wishlist: it would be good to see who submitted stories (and voted them up). That’s part of the social aspect. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@BinaryMoon But don’t get me wrong – I’m loving it! [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Essential move now I’m using Office 2007 at home but not at work: Make Word 2007 Always Save in Word 2003 Format – http://bit.ly/aeSH6V [stephencronin]

|
@KIntheHouse Hi K, been great, but busier than ever. How are you? [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@brandingdavid Maybe try window.onload=function() { and put your quickposttext function in there. Note that JS has to be in the second page [stephencronin]
|
|
|
YES! RT: @JamesDuthie: Agree!! RT @BrandDNA: Note to 4square users: Please do me a favour and turn off the notify Twitter function. Pleease! [stephencronin]

Chinese Unfazed at Possible Google Exit http://bit.ly/crtWl4 – backs up what I’ve been saying. The vast majority of Chinese don’t care. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Quotes from http://bit.ly/crtWl4: "many of the country’s 384 million Internet users appear to greet the news with little more a shrug" [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Quotes from http://bit.ly/crtWl4: "If Google left, the world would keep turning. … It actually wouldn’t have a big impact on China" RaoJin [stephencronin]
|
|
|
http://bit.ly/crtWl4 says Chinese teens more interested in listening to music, chatting with friends, playing games than the Great Firewall [stephencronin]
|
|
|
That sums up my ex-students pretty well. There may be one or two who care, but it’s just not important to the vast majority. End China rant. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@AsianRamblings totally agree! Makes me shake my head when I hear some opions in the Western media. Have they been to China? [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Another day, another windows 7 hack to my computer. Can’t live without the Quick Launch toolbar. Thanks @howtogeek for http://bit.ly/czRKyI [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@catswhocode Done – but wish I knew what it was! [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Google Chrome did allow you to print a selection, but recently stopped working. I’m on 4.0.249.78. @Google any ideas? [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Find it strange that @Google has almost 100 Twitter accounts, but not one for Google Chrome [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@AsianRamblings Bummer! I’ve never seen anywhere like it, with that freak humidity stuff. Be careful with your cameras! [stephencronin]
|
|
|
The #gov2 twitterwall (http://bit.ly/9FmIvP) is also picking up the gov20kr and gov20la hashtags. Change it to #gov20au ? @gov2taskforce [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Reading: The Mysterious Pseudo Class in CSS http://bit.ly/8XfT7b – This will be great – but not until all the cells in the table are green [stephencronin]
|
|
|

|
|
RT: @howtogeek: RT @labnol: A request – pls share only direct links on twitter.. services like ow.ly, stumbleupon add ugly bars at the top.. [stephencronin]

Great, I think (going to have to test my scripts in Chrome) RT @KIntheHouse: Google Chrome Gets Greasemonkey Scripts http://goo.gl/fb/ZHdo [stephencronin]

|
I was rejected
 RT: @tathamoddie: RT @johnallsopp: Web designers/developers year’s "State of the Web" survey http://bit.ly/bfES1G [stephencronin] |
|
|
@johnallsopp Thanks John, I’d like to take the survey (I don’t think I’ve ever said that before). [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@johnallsopp Thanks John, I’d like to take the survey (I don’t think I’ve ever said that before!). [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Just completed the The State of the Web 2010 survey http://bit.ly/a515y1 put together by @johnallsopp – web developers please take part! [stephencronin]

Really like the "Which Looks Right: 14/02/07 or 02/14/07" in the Remember The Milk signup. That’s a great way to do it. [stephencronin]

I would have thought that Dell would have at least acknowledged a complaint email within 44 hours… [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@kulpreetsingh That’s what I’m hoping
 @MartyatDell was very helpful presales but I haven’t bothered him yet as it’s an invoicing error [stephencronin] |
|
|
And now I have an email acknowledging receipt of my complaint to Dell – I think because I resubmitted – the original must have been lost. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@dannysullivan I lead a Queensland State government web team and we hate PDFs too. Still have to publish more than we want to… [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Am now at war with Dell. They made an error on an invoice. There’s nothing they can do about it. But they’re terribly sorry. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@MartyAtDell They put the Ship To name on the invoice rather than my name. I need it to be in my name. But they say they can’t change it. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
My last 3 computers have been from Dell. Through work, I’ve bought about 40 more. Now they can’t correct an invoice THEY made a mistake on? [stephencronin]
|
|
|
As it stands I’d have to advise people not to deal with Dell if they can’t even get their paperwork right (or correct it when they mess up) [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Oh and now Dell Australia are sending me ‘renew your system benefits’ emails about products I clearly never bought from them. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
Almost finished a 2000 word post on how to fix the lack of WordPress beta testers problem, but will have to leave it and go to bed. Monday.. [stephencronin]
|
|
|
@tathamoddie that shows that you travel a lot. At least that’s what I found. When I started travelling I couldn’t sleep, but after a while.. [stephencronin]
