Años viejos 2009 part 2

December 31st, 2009 IRA

The past weekend there were already plenty of Años Viejos in the city so I took some pictures.

This time I am being more selective so I’m not posting that many.

I had a lot of inconvenient doing this post. I don’t know what changed in WordPress recently but the past year the new gallery feature was incredibly useful and set up a post like this one was a breeze. Today, after uploading all the pictures, and thank goodness they were just a few, I had to “add” every picture again from the Media Gallery to the post in order to show it up in the gallery tab. The gallery tab was not showing at all before the second “add”. That was rather counterintuitive and annoying.

I was hoping to use this feature a lot, but please WordPress developers, you had this sorted out. Leave it as it was or add some bulk functionality, otherwise browsing the Media Gallery again for every picture one by one is really discouraging.

Rants asides, Happy New Year for everyone!

Mega Man 10 announced!

December 10th, 2009 IRA

Mega Man 10

I remember how I ranted when Mega Man 9 was announced because of the downgrade graphic wise.

I have to admit that I have learned to love these games. Announcing them in all seriousness with high marketing budgets and press releases is a parody on its own right of the game industry that puts a smile in my face. I love this.

Trobuleshooting Firefox 3.5

July 7th, 2009 IRA

The upgrade didn’t go that smoothly. I installed Firefox 3.5 in two PCs. After install Firefox detected my plugins, updated some ones like Firebug, and disabled the incompatible ones. Pretty standard procedure.

Then I experienced the following bizarre behavior:

The vertical scroll bar went to the left side. This is by far the strangest behavior.
The search box wouldn’t accept the Enter key.
Links in pages wouldn’t work.
Black text on white background would be rendered white, therefore unreadable.
On Firebug, the console wouldn’t work.
Many other annoyances that just rendered the browser unusable.

How did I solve it? Start Firefox in safe mode.

firefox-safe-mode

Hit ok in the popup window. Then go to Tools->Add-ons. Uninstall/Disable everything you can. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to do an individual testing, so I have to go for the broadest option.

Exit and start Firefox again. Everything should be ok. Then install again the add-ons you really need and are supported by Firefox 3.5.

This is the first time I experienced this problem with Firefox products. I’m still testing it but I think it’s worth the bother.

Hope this saves you some time.

Terminator Salvation

June 17th, 2009 IRA

I just saw Terminator Salvation and as a fan of the Terminator series was extremely pleased with it.

Now I’ll go to the IMDB forums were the hardcore fans will shove in my face all the plot holes and inconsistencies that I missed because I was too busy enjoying the movie.

On a side note it was hilarious the guy next to me didn’t have any idea of why John’s Connor father was younger, or who the hell was Arnold.

Como todos los años me di una vuelta por la calle de 6 de Marzo en Guayaquil. En este año que termina, es recorrido obligatorio para todos los que visitan Guayaquil.
