I don’t know perhaps I’m way too naive but I would have thought that a site as popular as this one cares more about security. But apparently someone who was trying to retrieve their login information has typed in my username which results in two emails to my address both containing my current password. I hope they can remember their own username as well in the end :D.
Audio fun
I stumbled across the following YouTube “movie”. Go find your headphones and plug them in. Pay attention to which is left and which is right. I didn’t at first :P. And then just listen.
Now when you’ve finished, was the door behind or in front of you? Because for me it was back no matter if my headphones were reversed or not. Wouldn’t know why my brain prefers doors at the back, since they used right and left microphone it shouldn’t be posible to sense the difference between front and back.
The one with matches is an analogue.
IE can’t decide whether it’s there or not
This time I’m messing with javascript and DOM. And guess what? First time when I try to get a specific div using document.getElementById it is null, but on subsequent times it is a valid object! Good job, IE. Now we can have several if’s checking for null so that bottom menu will appear after second call to a function, but not sooner. I’ve checked my eyes several times while debugging that and the div is there right from the beginning, it is hard-coded in html. And both Firefox and Opera get that. I don’t know, I haven’t coded much javascript, barely none and some css but I could have spent so many hours on something else than fixing it and some other things for IE.
Edit: my fault, it hadn’t been rendered yet. *Tries to remember to put such function calls in body onload property.*
My first post using Vista’s speech recognition
Unfortunately in Firefox you have to spell each character. So everything else you see here is typed in notepad and then pasted into Firefox. Overall it is a quite nice thing to have. Nevertheless I would like to be able to use it with OpenOffice and Firefox more conveniently. But I don’t really feel like using Internet Explorer or Microsoft word. But logging in to Windows Live Messenger without keyboard and mouse nor trackpad not to mention logging in to WordPress and posting an entry is fun. I’m now going to stop writing and continue with the other duties.
