Month: November 2005

After kind of terror emailing the Blogforum admin, he finally fixed the last errors!

After he fixed it, he sent me the following email:

“Hi Joerg,

I had fix the problem.
Login is working now.”

That’s great, isn’t it?! =)

I have today fixed my displaying problem on click of my Weatherpixie. It didn’t show the detailed data on click as it was meant to be.
I wrote the the Weatherpixie creator but her reply wasn’t helpful at all, she even sounded pretty annoyed.

The problem was a wrong references in the predefined tag code generated on its website.
I have now corrected this error by hand, and try it out, it works now! 🙂

Some visitors of my blog complained that from August till September, there was several times a virus loaded once they visited my blog. (very rarely)

As I figured it out, since it happened to myself once, those viruses were loaded by the Flickr Zeitgeist code I had on my blog.

I want to say sorry to all visitors of my blog for that.

I have reported this to Flickr, but Flickr unfortunately denies even the possibility, even if one would prove it!

The safety of my blog is highest priority for me, so the Flickr Zeitgeist is gone from my blog forever! 😛

Maybe as some of you know, certain ICQ users complain about their ICQ 5 not displaying ICQ Devils eventhough no prg blocks then and Flash 7 or 8 is installed.

I have been noticed by the ICQ Support a few days ago what caused this problem and how to fix it.

This problem is caused if the user profile path (e.g. “C:Documents and SettingsNafcomApplication DataICQLite”) contains a UNICode sign. If this is the case, then the data is saved in the ICQ program folder, not the Application Data folder of ICQ, which causes the inability to display the ICQ Devils.

Renaming the Windows user name won’t fix it, since the path doesn’t change after this was done. The best is to create a new Windows user which contains no UNICode sign (like, better use “Joerg” but not “Jörg”).

Here is now an ICQ 5 Skin Gallery with download links to all of them available!

However as of yet, the Nana skin is missing, but feel free to get it from my forum! 🙂

Have fun with the incredible amount of ICQ 5 skins available now! 🙂

After my forum was down for a while, it works again now!

Only two things you have to take care of:

1) Delete your cookies in advance
2) If you get a SQL error after logging in, simply reload the page!

Hope to see you soon there, again! 🙂

Ok, this will be a short blog entry, but I was kind of amused to read about the exsistance of “ICQ Gods” here! Hehehe! 🙂

Aren’t we all just normal users? 🙂

I just found by accident when reporting bugs in the beta forum of latest Opera 9 beta, actually this thread which speaks about how to speedup the site display!

There are two requirements:

-broadband internet (the thread suggests 4 M/bit or up)
-a fast PC (because the CPU load rises a lot with the new settings when displaying a site!).

I will keep track of it, and if it disturbs too much other processes while surfing, I will reset it to its defaul setting! But I find it amazing anyway! 🙂

After months of being unhappy with my temporary Technorati workaround which didn’t work with MSIE though, I finally recently received a reply from Technorati support with the solution I would like to quote here:

“Hi Joerg,

I apologize for the delay in getting back to you.

Please try adding the following line to your stylesheet:

#te_s label {display:block}

I believe it will have the effect you’re looking for.

Please respond to this email if you need additional assistance.

Thanks for using Technorati!

Regards,

Ben”

After so many month, finally adding a small attribute to my blog template’s stylesheet fixed it! 🙂

Now it works in any browser and I found this way also a small error in the stylesheet which I fixed.

If you experience any problem with the changes, please let me know!

I really found it funny when I received this “update notification”.

This, one normally should receive, once an ICQ 5 Xtra got updated. So far so good, I have my ICQ running nearly daily and today for the first time ever I have received an Xtra update notification!

And it’s not really an update on Find-A-Date but rather promoting it, with a sentence that reads:

“Be this winter, when it’s cold outside, not alone inside.”

! 😀
