EyedMax’s Pit

Hi there, my dear java-damned-script fans!

Today I used to find an strange bug in pretty little fine-looking-hints library, called BoxOver from here. As you know, for the chars ", [ and ] with this library you must use ", [[ and ]] to display… It works, but only once for brackets.

So, I tried to find a fix… None found. At the forum some guy gave an ugly fix with &rbr; and so on…

Shame on you guys, did you ever heard of regexp syntax?

Here’s the BoxOver library with fixed [ and ] brackets display:

Download BoxOver 2.1a javascript library (28th May 2008)

BTW, when I tried to register on forum to post my fix - I can’t - because of captcha insult, and that’s why I posted it here.

I’m not happy with FireFox last two or three months. It crases eventually (but often, yeah) and silently. Front end just disappears, but process remains - and actively eats memory.

Most recent case is: clear cache then open some "heavy" site with some flash elements.

Maybe FF itself is innocent but plugins (for ex. Firebug)

Helpful thing (for web developer)

Firefox plugin User Agent Switcher 

But check out Safari 3.1 for Windows. Preferences => Advanced tab, enable Develop menu and - voila! - you have all you want and many more things. Actually it remembered me FireBug extension for FireFox.

Today I wanted to disable Autorun feature in Windows XP box. And I found, that all that Microsoft can bring is funky right-click-on-drive menu with lot of disk types…

That’s not my way. After 2 minutes Autorun feature has been disabled system-wide. And for you it will take less time - because I’ll take care of this.

All you need is to fetch a .reg file below (right click th link, choose “Save target as”), doubleclick it and say “yes”, than reboot.

Disable Autorun (Windows XP)

All the trick is to set
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\AutoRun to 0

If you wanna do vice-versa trick, you need to fetch and run next file (right click th link, choose “Save target as”), doubleclick it, say ‘yes’, and reboot. If not helps, check those funky right-click-on-drive menu.

That’s all, folks!

One of the freaky cheats in FireFox browser.

I posted all of them today.

Just type in address line “about:Mozilla” and press enter.

What the hell is that?

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

Ok, guys, Mammon is… Aaaa…. Hmmm…. This is Mammon:
( I don’t know why he hasn’t a face of Bill Gates nowdays? )

But why a great bird? If they do mean a Mozilla ThunderBird - now it dead again. If they meant FireFox - it’s not a bird. And if they meant Mozilla itself - I surprised it was bird.

Guys! What the hell was that?

Make sure that you have this browser:

Do you know FireFox well?

And how about advanced settings page? And how about direct access to it? OK, just type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Just like this:

Now, what do you see?

It’s your advanced settings, basically you can’t reach most of them in other way…

How To Speed Up Your FireFox

Look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

They looked just like this:

Now,
Set network.http.pipelining to true
Set network.http.proxy.pipelining to true
Set network.http.pipelining.maxrequests to 10 (or 15)
Right-click, select New->Integer, name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay, set value to 0
Restart Firefox.

Look at this:

It’s all virtual. And this is not a professional’s work. Those beautiful product boxes, books, and even DVDs - just in two clicks from you.

This is all a Box Shot 3D software, and it’ll cost a fifty if you want to remove watermarks from shareware version.

Some blah-blahs from official site:

Box Shot 3D is a virtual cover renderer based on ray tracing algorithms. What does this mean? Simply put, the box shots you create will look very realistic. This attractive display is often the deciding factor for purchasing products.

Because of high rendering technology, Box Shot 3D’s rendering is so life-like, customers may think they are seeing the actual product photo. Visit here for more details.

Please look at our product comparison here and judge for yourself the best, most economical and efficient method of creating your perfect product box shot.

This program worth a fifty. Of course you can spent this fifty it for a couple of good 3D design books, and then you can find a good freeware 3D editor, and learn how to use it, and then you’ll be able to render your product box shots! Or, as another way, you can pay a fifty to professional. He’ll do a work for you. One time.

Resume: try it, buy it, use it! My mark: 10 of 10 possible!
