Includes better removal of google gunk when the preview is on. All gunk is fully restored when the preview is toggled off. :>
I found out today that Mozilla doesn’t serve up the latest version of “experimental” addons automatically to Firefox users. And until I can get them to get around to approving my addon, mine remains marked “experimental”. So you have to grab updates from the official download page. Get the latest news on the homepage.
I’ve moved to Chandler 1.0-rc1. Not a lot different, still looking good. My linux upgrade on gentoo AMD64 (using the Ubuntu “compressed image” build on the linux download page, works great) went without a hitch. On Windows, the 0.7.7 release barfed when it ran low on memory. I started getting the dreaded “Another Chandler is already running” message on startup. Upgrading to 1.0-rc1 didn’t help. The error message is bogus, here‘s my report explaining the problem. I deleted my repository in the [Documents and Settings\(user)\Application Data\Open Source Applications Foundation\Chandler] folder, recreated it by restoring from the most recent backup, and resynced to the Hub.
If you need to get through a proxy, you still need the http workaround. Here it is in a nutshell.
A proxy can be specified in File->Configure HTTP Proxy. After discussion on irc with gbaillie and JeffreyH, I found that chandler uses https by default when syncing with a “Chandler Hub Sharing” account. This does not appear to use the proxy. The workaround is to set up a “Chandler Server Sharing” account, and specify the hub settings manually, using http instead of https:
Server: [ hub.chandlerproject.org ]
Path: [ / ]
Port: [ 80 ]
[ ] Use SSL (unchecked)
If you use a valid hub account username/password and press the Test… button, it should succeed.
Now get yourself organized!
I’ve upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.6, and tried to tidy up a bit. My favorite trick for today came from here, where the author discusses a “geek switch” to turn off his more technical material. I have a Chatter category that’s in the same boat – sometimes I want to see it, sometimes I don’t. And I don’t want first-time visitors to have to see it.
I modified the original author’s toggle approach a bit, widgetized, with a touch more Javascript and updated for WordPress 2.6. You can see the toggle in the sidebar to the right, try clicking on it. Pretty fun eh?
See my Toggle Category wiki article for the gory details on setting this baby up. I <3 WordPress.
I updated my Google framed results script that I use every day on my portal. Try it out and let me know what you think! Free attaboy to the first user. See the wiki for details.
UPDATE: v0.03, mo betta. Use the same link above.
