Script Errors in TAXWIZ by Intuit Canada

Got yourself a copy of TaxWiz and now are getting script errors when trying to fill out forms? Annoying isn't it? meh :(
Well I did, and have a document on how to solve it. Its posted over in the library, get it here.
Not a very good way to design software in my opinion. Many people including me have Internet Explorers security cranked all the way up and locked down and out and use a third party browser (firefox in my case) because of the lack of content control and security issues inherent with using Internet Explorer.

What the Heck is up with this?

Found this on an Elder Scrolls board today, it appears to be a screen capture from the new Oblivion game, and somone had waaaay too much time on their hands with what appears to be a summon watermelon spell. Some people make me wonder... Posted by Picasa

I've found a way to stop hotlinking

I've found a way to stop people from hotlinking my images and sapping my bandwidth, using .htaccess
Not the greatest solution but it will do for now. Information on using .htaccess can be found in the library.
Now I can upload the rest of the Whitby Psyche pics as well as their stories.

Same Aquarium 4 Months Later

The Mollies have spawned and I have approximately 15 young ones swimming around. One pair of guppies died, but everyone else is doing well. I do partial water changes every week cause the tank is slightly overpopulated however it is also very densely planted with Hygrophila Polysperma and Vallisneria. It is well lit and has a filter running that is way bigger then normally used for that size of tank and I am carefull not to overfeed the fish and this population does very well. No fish can be seen in this picture however they are all in there I count them everyday. The dense aquatic vegatation provides ample hiding places for everyone. Posted by Picasa

My Fish Tank First Set Up

Cat in a Box

My cats love to get into the weirdest places. Here is the White Cat chilling inside an empty carton. I kicked her out of it after I took this though cause I didn't think the plastic was a good idea : Posted by Picasa

The Last of the Whitby Psyche Pics.

I've posted the last of the Whity Psyche pics that I took before they demolished the buildings last fall. They are over in the gallery. I've only posted a few for now untill I can implement something to stop linking abuse.

Cats, annoying blogger publisher issues and broken fonts.

Testing changes I made to my blog, to make it easier to post from anywhere. Pic storage was an issue, stupid blogger publisher would try to upload images to a directory that didn't exist. Sifting through the blogger help I discovered that it uploads to uploaded_images/ within the main blog directory. They could of told me that somwhere in the upload images dialog meh. Also the font tool sucks, font changes affect the whole paragraph, not just highlighted text :( Stupid thing still will not render pics properly. They will upload to where they are supposed to go but show up as an empty clickable box. ffs :( I have to upload them as files, as the html is uses when I try to upload them as images is all messed up with invalid urls and errors. (http://not-a-real-namespace/http://not-a-real-namespace/http://not-a-real-namespace
/http://not-a-real-namesp...) this is the rubbish it places in the post editor and the final result is an empty image box that when clicked redirects me to another users blog. wtf? Uploading and linking by hand works, bit I wanted the blogger post editor to do it, so that posting would be easier.


These are my two cats, the white one is the "White Cat" and the black one is "Phish" cause she likes water, which is highly unusualy for cats.

High Gasoline Prices? Conspiracy Theorys...

What the sam hell does rising crude oil prices and Iran’s nuclear ambitions have to do with the rising cost of gasoline at the pumps. Just another excuse to make money by gouging consumers is what I see. "Analysts say oil prices are likely to climb even higher in the weeks ahead as worries grow about how international pressure on Iran, OPEC’s No. 2 oil producer, will affect its crude output. Rebel disruptions of oil production in Nigeria, the fifth-biggest source of U.S. oil imports, also pose a risk to supply." (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/)
