Leave Barack Obama Alone!

Great job on keeping us up and running, Charles.

My reaction.

That's why we stay away from the latest releases of code for a couple of months to let others find the bugs. BBL, I gotta mow the back yard....

Damn right. Only a fool would include mission-critical code in their application they didn't write themselves.

If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

It's good to have a resource for computer info when major problems occur. Without LGF I would have thought it was just my computer. Thanks.

My old version of Safari 1.3.2 won't load LGF—it just fatally crashes Safari. It's on a 1.25G mac PC running OS X.3.9.

re: #8 David IV of Georgia

My old version of Safari 1.3.2 won't load LGF—it just fatally crashes Safari. It's on a 1.25G mac PC running OS X.3.9.

It worked fine until about a week ago.

And that’s a big reason why you don’t see a lot of those gimmicky widgets at LGF. I deliberately shun third party code because I don’t want to rely on other people to keep their web servers online and their code compatible. (It helps that I programmed the entire LGF codebase, too.)

Good plan, Ollie :-)

re: #8 David IV of Georgia

My old version of Safari 1.3.2 won't load LGF—it just fatally crashes Safari. It's on a 1.25G mac PC running OS X.3.9.

Yeah, there's no way around that, unfortunately. Version 1 of Safari had major bugs in its Javascript library. Version 2 was better, but still had a lot of bugs. Version 3 is greatly improved, and now ranks among the best JS libraries out there.

Charles, despite my Neanderthal-like ignorance on the subject, I applaud all your hard work to keep this site running.

I'll just switch to looking at LGF on Firefox. Not a hard thing to do. Someday I need to upgrade my OS, but I'll probably just wait until I get a new computer.

Tech related question.

Anyone know anything about Web Cams?

I need suggestions since I know nothing. What I need is wireless, that can record on the computer. I don't have a TV and I need basically a security camera to prove a neighbor enters my apartment. $150 tops.

thanks

A bucket of water over the door might be more fun.

re: #11 Charles

With Safari 3.1.2 on a mac g5 (older one, not the new intel chip), when I click on the LGF tools to the left (eg stats), LGF at best reloads the page I'm on and sometime poofs safari altogether. I haven't upgraded to (leopard? is that the newest?) yet but I will be in the next few weeks to accommodate better the video, etc. I'm starting on for a new technology blog. I liked it when the stats were just there all the time because you could visualize the cause/effect of topics. I was looking at the BlogMastermind.com where they talk about ads on blogs, etc. Do you get your ads from PJ or do you have your own arrangements with the advertisers?

re: #14 Teacake!

Here is another solution that might be better in the end.

Good plan Charles, I gotta agree. Might be easier to plug in 3rd party stuff but dont like to be at the mercy of other servers/codbases; rather take a bit longer to build it myself.

re: #14 Teacake!

Why not just tell your neighbor you got yourself one of them web security cameras? Tell him as if you think it is the coolest thing in the world not as if you are accusing him of anything.

re: #14 Teacake!

Prices, and reviews!

(Not always the best prices anymore)

Thanks for the suggestions. Thing is I want him to do this as much as possible because I'm getting a restraining order on him next week and it will help me a lot to have evidence!

Glad I don't have to know how this crap works to enjoy it. Thanks Charles.

I'm also looking on ebay for nanny cams but I'm not sure what to look for and if the prices are good or not.

I want to get this guy so bad!

re: #22 Teacake!

These guys should have everything you need.

this one

looks good but I really don't know if it delivers or not and is a good price. All help in this is so much appreciated!

Thanks everyone! I'll make some phone calls then.

"It helps that I programmed the entire LGF codebase, too."

Cool!

That's also why I'm cautious about widgets I install at my site, I used to carry TROP and Jerusalem Post, but both have caused serious delays on page loads and there for are now gone.

Good testing, SiteMeter.

BTW: If something serious is going on (this sitemeter incident wasn't so serious btw) on teh intarwebz ISC is always a great place to check in.

Charles- thanks for keeping LGF out of this mess.

I would say over 90% of websites are poorly coded without any third party code. No one follows web standards and browsers tend to be forgiving.

And its right near the Fetish Factory!

Teacake...this is a little out of the box, but here's an idea.

Go to your local "Womens shelter", the police can actually point you out to one (they prefer to stay hidden), I am betting that with your situation, they have something the could lend you (and some advice) that they give to women building evidence against husbands/ boyfriends, etc.

While this is not a boyfriend/husband, it is a man stalking harrassing a woman. This is one of the purposes that they exist.

Hope this is helpful.

re: #36 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

Crap. I think she's gone.

re: #14 Teacake!

Make sure it has reasonably good resolution, otherwise it'll be a waste of money.

And that’s a big reason why you don’t see a lot of those gimmicky widgets at LGF. I deliberately shun third party code because I don’t want to rely on other people to keep their web servers online and their code compatible. (It helps that I programmed the entire LGF codebase, too.)

Watch you don't sprain that arm, Charles!

(just kidding, I can't program a universal remote)

Thanks FBV - great idea if this wasn't new orleans! LOL Cops are no help and the women's places I have a feeling are real low end. I think there is just one. Luckily I have an attorney friend who is going to help get the order. All I need is a cheap cam that records on a computer. The thing I saw at ebay looks good, but I don't know for sure.

Why the guys at SANS are a great resource.
Anything "global" in nature they jump on the issue and
have the ability to get at the specific issue. In this case
a flaw in IE 7 coupled with sitemeter not being aware
of that ongoing problem.
And you betcha. File a report with them?
You get a response.

Try Amazon.com. Search on nannycam.

I WANT him to do this as much as possible for evidence in court. I need proof, not deterrence. So far he's just messing with things in my apartment to let me know he was in. I have a little chain that can be taken off easily. Need to door open in the day for the cats to come and go.

Statement on the failed SpaceX, commerical rocket launch last night:

[Link: www.spacex.com...]

Plan Going Forward

It was obviously a big disappointment not to reach orbit on this flight [Falcon 1, Flight 3]. On the plus side, the flight of our first stage, with the new Merlin 1C engine that will be used in Falcon 9, was picture perfect. Unfortunately, a problem occurred with stage separation, causing the stages to be held together. This is under investigation and I will send out a note as soon as we understand exactly what happened.

The most important message I’d like to send right now is that SpaceX will not skip a beat in execution going forward. We have flight four of Falcon 1 almost ready for flight and flight five right behind that. I have also given the go ahead to begin fabrication of flight six. Falcon 9 development will also continue unabated, taking into account the lessons learned with Falcon 1. We have made great progress this past week with the successful nine engine firing.

As a precautionary measure to guard against the possibility of flight 3 not reaching orbit, SpaceX recently accepted a significant investment. Combined with our existing cash reserves, that ensures we will have more than sufficient funding on hand to continue launching Falcon 1 and develop Falcon 9 and Dragon. There should be absolutely zero question that SpaceX will prevail in reaching orbit and demonstrating reliable space transport. For my part, I will never give up and I mean never.

Thanks for your hard work and now on to flight four.

That dog would "trap this guy big time" in it's JAWS ! Incontrovertible proof that the guy was in your place, if when the cops come his knee and left testicle is still in the dogs mouth!

That does look good kilgore, but it says it records on a TV or something? Sorry to make this complicated. I don't have a tv or dvd player. I will call them and see if its possible to record on a computer. I know you need some sort of card for that. J&R had a card for $90 and that is way too much!LOLOL

$44 is sounding real good.

The thing about the web cam that would be great is if I saw him coming and hide behind my door - I hate to say this because I've never been violent in all of my life or even hit anyone. But I would LOVE to stab a knife in his hand. I have one near by actually. He came in I guess when I was in the bathroom. He is a sociopath for sure.

If anyone has seen the movie Perfume. He looks and is even creepier than the star of that film. Both, creepy french guys. It was like watching HIM in the movie!

re: #69 Teacake!

Something I learned from reading the comments at Amazon.com: You might want to check out Office Depot or Staples if these are nearby.

Once you record it have you thought about how your going to get the recording to the police?

That's a messed-up menage a trois you've got going there. I'd find a new man, along with a new apartment. If "your man" doesn't believe you, and thinks you're just "causing trouble" with the closet-guy, that doesn't bode well for the long-term outlook. Just my 2 cents, of course.

So, these people often found water all over the deck next to their pool when they'd come home from work and suspected the neighborhood kids were swimming in it. So, they set up a camera to catch them in the act and here is what they found:

This might already have been covered. Brokaw had Sen Kerry on this
morning & Sen Lieberman. Brokaw conservatively gave Kerry twice as much time. Kerry as usual was not informed about what he was talking about , but had the smug, liberal smirk going on.
Seeing how unfair Brokaw was with time I remembered reading his book, "The Greatest Generation".
I thought it was less than a proper homage, since he pretty much summarized, "Yeah they did some nice things like winning the War, but they were a bunch of racists." At least that's how I read it.

Michelle Obama hailed as fashion's first lady by Vanity Fair

/word choice BS

Unbelievably boorish aren't they? (Is this the word I'm looking for?)

Notable among those missing was Victoria Beckham. But given that Mrs Obama topped the lot, it was Mrs McCain who stood out most among the American absentees - and critics appeared to relish the fact.

“Clothes make the woman, after all,” wrote the New York Daily News of the snub.

“Like it or lump it, the personal style of each candidate’s wife has become an important part in establishing individuality, likability and power. Michelle Obama, who has her own favourite high-end designers, has made sure to advertise her everywoman-frugality every chance she gets.”

Keren Eldad, New York fashion manager of the Los Angeles Times, said: “McCain’s style is like the political style of her husband: conservative and outdated. It screams 'safety’ and escapes any nod to change, to risk, or to bravado. She may throw on a tailored leather jacket every once again, but through her pearls and all that hairspray, can we really detect any semblance of inspiration? Of fun?
“Obama, on the other hand, gets it. She IS a modern woman, she has fun with fashion, she embraces life with fury and grace - making apparel choices so varied, that time and again signal this woman never sees anything in life as constant. That’s change. And that is the essence of what fashion is all about”.

Why no, I don't believe that I ever heard him mention it. Must have been murder on his manicure.

I heard that swiftboaters took all his patriotic medals, for some reason.

re: #134 rightwinger3

Yeah...and Obama looks nothing like all of our other presidents and did I mention that he's black?

Kerry looks sorta like Lincoln.

I wonder how many will show up now that it's making news.

If Charles is still around, did you also write the "Now Playing" thingie?

Steve Martin...
"I'll never forget what my grandfather told me one time. He was a huge influence on my life, and what he said is burned into my memory. He said, "Never, ... no wait a minute...Always...uh..."

I believe the first time I heard that bit from Steve Martin, it was from his "Let's Get Small" album. My brother got the album but I damn near wore each grove to the other side.

Wow, look at the tits! I'll be there's ... 57 tits.

I wonder why they are coming back to it. Why did they leave in the first place? Forget their toiletries?

I really need to send these links to the management at work. They constantly want to add third-party bells and whistles to things, regardless of the fact that they don't actually do anything useful, but they refuse to admit that third-party software can cause problems.

Occasionally with the drop down list box widget below the Daily Archives button I get a parse error. I saw it 5 minutes ago (or so) with Daily Express in the widget. Is this problem an external to LGF problem?

re: #130 sattv4u2

Kerry was in Vietnam?

Wow!

That’s news to me.

Was he rice wounded? I mean trice wounded?

re: #141 gettinby

She can’t be fashionable unless she as at least two body piercings.

I see none.

She is out dated and screams of safety!

Until I see a navel ring or a nose ring I cannot vote for her.

"one of its childs " ?!

Back off, computer nerds! Stop messing with the English language. We get enough of a daily dose of illiteracy from the MSM.

It appears that during a development update of SiteMeter, their team did not take into account a known bug in this version of the browser which does not allow modification of a parent container using scripts in one of its childs

Is this like the old Microsoft BASIC bug that did not allow exiting a FOR/NEXT loop without incrementing the counter past its limit?

10 FOR A=1 to 6.023E+23
20 PRINT "MICROSOFT BUGS ME"
30 NEXT A

It appears that during a development update of SiteMeter, their team did not take into account a known bug in this version of the browser which does not allow modification of a parent container using scripts in one of its childs

Ok, this really bugs me... Is this a sitemeter bug (the standard does not allow a script in a child to modify its parent container) or is it an IE7 bug (IE7 does not implement the standard properly) ? Why doesn't anybody care? If it is a sitemeter bug, then we should tell sites not to use sitemeter. If it is an IE bug, we should tell users not to use IE.

^^I think it was a combo error.

First? Here is the known issue with IE

[Link: support.microsoft.com...]

That apparently sitemeter overlooked.

Sitemeter has fixed their stuff but the issue with IE7 remains.

What is this IE7? Is is some kind of alternative web browser?

Has anyone looked at the source to see if the bug can be rectified?
