SquareSpace online editor & Firefox RC3

Image by sgtret via Flickr

We’ve discovered the cause of the problem we were having with SquareSpace online blog creator and manager and Firefox RC3. 

It was the LastPass add-on the Firefox.  I inadvertently, meaning clumsily clicked through a pop-up box without reading it.  LastPass was filling in fields I had mindlessly instructed it to fill.

Thus, every time I brought up the editor, it filled in the blanks and defaulted to the Fathers Day entry, during the creation of which the offending action on my part took place.

When there is a technical problem we always first ask, “Is it plugged in?”  Now when we have  Firefox problem, we need to ask, “Is it a plug-in?

Firefox 3.5r2 Editing Problem with SquareSpace

-__________________

This is the page where the entry to be edited is selected. When I clicked on "edit" in the right column the Modify Post box would pop up.

Instead of the June 22 entry, the June 21 entry shown below popped up.

When I tried to edit the June 20 entry, the same Happy Father's Day window would pop up.

Through use of SquareSpace's excellent trouble ticket service it was determined that the proble was not with their editor but with the way the cache is stored in Firefox 3.5r2.

When we came to the online editor from Chrome or Opera, there was no problem. In fact, we edited the blog entry in Chrome quite easily.

Again, kudos to the support staff at SquareSpace for their insite towards the problem source.

Summer? Seattle Now in New England?

When Summer began yesterday we were ready to break out the shorts and sandals, check the ferry schedules and decided if we will finally make it to PEI this year. 

Then we looked out at the sodden landscape, put on our polar fleece and decided not to open the pool this year.

Seattle has exported its weather to New England.  I can recall one full day for the past few weeks that did not involve rain.  Even the day we all went to Martha’s Vineyard started with rain.  It faded as we approached the Oak Bluff ferry landing.

We were there for a graduation celebration held in the Methodist Camp.. Their magnificent open air meeting room simultaneously gave the feeling of a big-top open to the air and a cathedral dome. The sun this day did its duty.

We could see the storm clouds massing behind Cape Cod as we approached Woods Hole. Sure enough, the next morning, the grass was soaked and the car’s windshield was covered with wet droppings from the overhead red oak.

When the temperature rises above 100 and we look out at the unopened pool, we’ll return to this blog entry and understand our motive.  That’s right before we decide again, this is the year to visit PEI.

Happy Father’s Day!

To all the fellow fathers out there, think not of today as your day.  It is the day for your children, your family, to show their love for you by doing things they feel you would like. 

It matters little whether any of these things are to  your liking.  You must show appreciation for the spirit in which they are given. Do this and you will be a good father.

Working Today

Normally on a Saturday we would be all over FeedDemon finding interesting links and commenting on the news of the day.  Not today.  Today we actually earn a living to put turkey bacon in the fridge. 

It is the way of the world. 

The good news is tomorrow's Father's Day. 

I get to relax and bask in the glow of admiration from my son before I do the laundry.  What could be better?

Reinstalled Firefox Add-on Scribefire

Haven't used Scribefire in Firefox for a while. Now that we have a new Famous Grazing blog, I thought it would be a good idea to set the Scribefire up to use it.

Got to the end of the internet!

Image by sgtret via Flickr

There was a cartoon back in the nineties of a man sitting at a PC staring at the screen with a look of incredulity. The message on the screen says, “You have reached the end of the internet.”

That’s how I felt this morning when I had no more links on my RSS reader FeedDemon.  I had started with 521 pages to view.  This seemed an insurmountable task. But, using FeedDemon’s Newspaper View where you can choose between a list of headlines, the headline with a summary or a stripped down version of the entire page, with a steady use of the J & K keys and the spacebar, I bounced through it....
