I’ve done some more testing on the problem I mentioned before of all requests showing up as 200‘s in the Apache log on my Dreamhost shared server. I’m pretty sure it’s specific to their mod_rewrite module.
Toby's Log page 83
Hey fellow website makers: If you meta refresh to a generic JS message URL for your noscript users, they will see the same message, not your article, if they enable JS. They will then have to go back to the original link again, if they’re willing to put that much effort in to seeing your article. See this great ohio.com article for an example (now archived). That page variable might make you think, if they had a proper value, it’d take you to the proper page when JS is enabled, but no, there’s no JS on the page at all. Also, who is ‘Burlington Hawkeye’?
Once again had to recover some of my Firefox tabs after an update (this happened before). I haven’t reduced my tab count since last time as planned (currently at 570). Gonna have to work on that. I think having so many makes Firefox more unstable and slow.

Hope you had a happy Toby day. I got my plate sticker (barely could get it to stick in the cold), worked, had lunch with a coworker at Saffron Patch, had dinner with my roommate at Aladdin’s, and watched an episode of Castle.

Feels good to get over the hump on a project I was struggling with and finally basically finish it.
Yesterday was quite warm for December, reaching around 60. I took advantage with a nearly three hour hike.
Continue reading post "#1325"Just finished baking desserts for Christmas, including all of the cleanup and prep for transport. Even though I was tired after baking, I just wanted to be completely done. I spent most of the day between these desserts (planning, buying food, baking, cleaning, etc.) and final Christmas gift purchasing and preparing. I made pecan tassies (every year) and a gingerbread loaf (first time). Merry Christmas.
