Comment on Javascript parsing: bootleneck? by Thomas Kowalski

In case the stop of the processing the files following the JS is bothering you, take a look at steve souders work (cuzillion). It’s possible to create a script tag using js to start downloading an script without blocking.

Comment on Annoying numlock behaviour with Gothic 3 by markus

Hmm .. I’ve re-installed it on my Notebook last week and I do not remember having this problem again. But I have installed the latest patches before the first launch. Maybe in the latest patch it is disabled? I try to get a quick look at it again during the next days.

Hah! Sounds familiar, I have the exact same problem with my Acer Notebook.

Just got Gothic III yesterday.

Did you find a way around it? It’s been a while for you. Or did you remap everything (arglglglg!) or even give up on it?

Please let me know! ;-)

Cheers,
Chris

Comment on Brilliant or just insane? Using subversion to version a complete debian installation. by markus’ blog » Watch out: problems with debian testing samba 3.0.23c-1 after upgrade from 3.0.22-1

Sat, 16 Sep 2006 19:12:37 +0000

[...] After upgrading from 3.0.22-1 to 3.0.23c-1 the user authorization for samba and SSH didn’t work anymore. Luckily I’m such a paranoid bastard that earlier this year I started versioning my complete debian installation with subversion. Guess what, this saved my live. I was able to exactly identify which files caused the problems: [...]

Comment on Difference between iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 by Andreas Baumgartner

Thanks for that bit of information. I had several cases where i had to set the right encoding-sceme (where UTF-8 didn’t work properly), namely in the linux-konsole, in my irc-client and in my html-authoring. I did not know the difference of these encodings but now i know. I will publish on my webpage (in german) for other users what i know now, to make it easier to find the solution for the problem caused by wrong preselected charsets.
I also have such problems with gnu emacs and xemacs: when i safe a file with emacs and open it with xemacs the encoding is corrupted at umlauts. I think it’s the same problem but til now i did not find where to set this right.

On my webpage i will provide more content for free X and later i plan to have content in english language as well. The files are still under development. One of my bigger plans is to aid develop a automated order generator based on free X. When i browse the internet for such a software i find nothing but the need is very big that there will be software which independently manages arbitrage-betting within the financial markets, programmed to make gains consistently, what gives me reason to do it on myself, but, at this time i am a beginner in programming. Possibly i can elabor that with Visualturing.

Comment on IE – Having fun with JS and links by Scott Wickham

Scott Wickham — Thu, 15 Jun 2006 12:35:46 +0000

to expand on this bug i just found again yesterday. Lucky i found this i thought i was insane.

It also changes the text of the link if the text starts with http:// was well as http://www.xxxx

my work around it to get the innerHTML of the link before I change the href property store it and change it back to the orginal.

this has the advantage of not having to change the markup of the page.

If it would work with windows that would be too great… virus on the system since 1 week?, no problem just revert everything …

Or having problems with the registry…

Man.. that would be.. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocius

Comment on MySQL 4.0: default character set affecting behaviour of UNIQUE by Dready

Dready — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 18:21:18 +0000

Another nice thing:
After updating my MySQL with all the Collations i tried exporting a database in phpmyadmin and importing it anywhere else… ERROR..

After triing to use the ‘SQL export compatibility’ Option in phpmyadmin i was able to import the data, but the ‘umlaute’ where all wrong (utf8)…

The only possible sollution i found was using the console command mysqldump:
mysqldump –create-options –compatible=mysql40

bests, dready
