oTidyBrowser is not defined

If you’re tired of seeing this annoying error in Firebug, here’s the fix on Ubuntu (I stole this from here and condensed it to its Ubuntu specific essentials, though, of course, the procedure would be similar on other OSes):

Locate tidy.jar in your Firefox profile
- Open $HOME/.mozilla in File Browser (starting at $HOME doesn’t work for some reason)
- Click Search and type tidy.jar in the search bar
Right click and Open with “Archive Manager”
Go into content directory, right click tidyBrowser.js, and Open With… your favorite editor
Change line 220 from if( oTidyBrowser.bTopLoadBusy==false ) to if(oTidyBrowser && oTidyBrowser.bTopLoadBusy==false )
- (Note: formatting left as I found it)
Save and close tidyBrowser.js
Click Update in Archive Manager dialog that pops up after save
Restart Firefox
Rejoice at having removed one small annoyance from your life

is having a nice, mostly-quiet day at the office. Wish I was out shopping! (Not.) #
Who remembers “Blah blah blah… not.” from the late 80s/early 90s? #
For example, “Rocky V is my favorite movie, EVER… not.” Incidentally, though Rocky V came out in 1990, I only learned about it yesterday. #
On a technical note, regarding “MVC”, where does JavaScript fit in? #
For “Thanksgiving”, I went all out & made (spelt) pancakes for breakfast, then proceeded w/ doing, effectively, nothing for most of the day. #
“Nothing” consisted of things like playing guitar and petting the cat. #
is going to get back to work now. #

“phrase from nearest book” meme

Via

Grab the nearest book.
Open it to page 56.
Find the fifth sentence.
Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Here’s mine, from Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion 2nd Edition by Mike Mason:

“After creating our sandbox repository, we used a repository URL to tell Subversion what we wanted to check out.”

Cool meme. Mine’s a little boring. Great book, though.

saw a really cute pooch (terrier mix) at the bike race today. Considered adopting; someone else did. #

The Villebois course is treachorous. Pre-ride should be mandatory. #

finally learned to hula hoop at a (semi-crashed) wedding reception two weeks ago. #
took hula skillz to the “next level” at a party last night (no drinking involved, FYI). #
The key to successful hula hooping lies in steady side to side or back and forth motion, not a circular motion. #
has learned that Krunk can be spelled with a C or a K. Who knew? #
