A simple extension to add "open in browser" to the silly "open using external application" dialog in Firefox. (I was planning to implement this myself, duh.)

delirioussitedump back up again (for the time being) The delirioussitedump is back! The dump was performed on Sunday, up through entry #49242. I'll probably start running a daily update next time I have a few minutes to work on this, but for now, that's what's there, hand updated only. Yes, it's officially in YAML now, and it's bz2 compressed. The compressed version is some 2 and a half megs, whereas the uncompressed file is 13 megs (!). Substitute .xml for .yml if you want my ad-hoc XML instead of my ad-hoc YAML version. The uncompressed files are also available, at least for now, although I would vastly prefer that you download the compressed version. See also One of these years I'll also publish some statistics, most popular URLs, etc. (I actually already have this information extracted, just not in a convenient format.)

Probably actually a bug in Firefox 1.5, actually

"/etc/cron.daily/man-db: mandb: warning: /usr/share/man/man1/rmic.1.gz is a dangling symlink" I didn't even know I had java-gcj-compat installed -- this is on a Breezy system I set up last Friday, but admittedly with a lot of packages installed right off the bat

Created a bug report in rt.cpan.org for Ricardo pointing back here ... where "here" is obviously the link in the title field. Update: The bug is closed now but Ricardo assures us he is keeping an eye on de.lirio.us.

Post from 1999, oddly topical still I've been meaning to compose a detailed bug report for Ubuntu about the session manager in Gnome; obviously it's not Ubuntu's fault that the upstream is finicky but they might be better motivated to actually do something about it :-/ I'd really like to be able to change the saved session without messing up the current session. It's not possible to have perfect sync anyhow, what with all kinds of clients which depend on other stuff being there before they will run, and which often can't save their session in a meaningful way anyhow (think remote xterm, and/or anything which connects to a tunneled ssh port). By extension, when launching a client, indicate that it's not supposed to be session managed (or vice versa -- indicate that it is, and make the default be to not manage). When I run gnome-session-save, it saves all the current clients; fair enough, but that is also the only way to save a session. What if I just want to make a minor modification to the previously saved session? Would I need to launch a separate session just for that? Log out and then back in again, tweak, save session, relaunch all the stuff which I don't want to run via the session manager? Sorry, I won't. Or start a second X server and tweak the session in there, then log out again? Precarious, and then how do I import the change to my main session?

Why my CVS checkin script started to fail when I upgraded Upgrading from Debian 3.0 (Woody) to 3.1 (Sarge) finally brought up this. I would *never* have thought of looking in Info instead of the man page (why do they ship a man page then?)
