Well, this is embarrassing. - Firefox

Yes it is and it's also becoming an all to common phrase out of you as of late. While it's embarrassing it's also a bug, right?

It's nice that team Mozilla makes light of the situation but the more I see this message the more frustrated I get because of its overly polite, yet humble approach.

I can't help but wonder, "Why didn't you use this nice, friendly error message for problems that might occur much less often”? That way, when your browser REALLY fucks up, you wouldn't feel so bad about it!

But now that it's showing up as often as once or twice a day, I'd prefer to see a more serious or common message, such as "an error occurred, we're working on it".

Of course life could be worse and I'm not bearing a grudge, it's just an opinion.

Browsing the web? Get a life:

Adding Google Analytics to a Drupal site

Posted Mon, 01/26/2009 - 21:57 by Mike Hommé

Funny thing happened within the last few days, I was asked by three people, "Hey Mike!". "Yes". "How can I add Google Analytics to my [Drupal] site?". My reply... "would you like fries with that?"... just kidding. But that's a decent amount of requests so I think it warrants a quick bloggy blog.

What came to mind? Maybe you could find this on Drupal.org (yes, you can), maybe they have a module for it (yes, they do).

SELinux and 403 Forbidden messages from Apache, but I KNOW the permissions are right... right!?

Posted Wed, 12/17/2008 - 16:30 by Mike Hommé

I upgraded to Red Hat Enterprise from Fedora Core 7 recently. I wasn't running SELinux on the Fedora box but decided to try it out on the shiney new RHE server.

I ran into seemingly simple problem, my apache log was reporting a 403 - Forbidden permission denied to index.php when trying to access a simple test index.php in one of my virtual hosts. This is something that I've done probably 120 times before in only minutes, but it took me about 3 hours last night to get to the bottom of this. I figure it deserves a post as a personal note, and hopefully save others the time and a headache.

What are you using your FTP client for?

I've been using WebsiteGrader.com website.grader.com a lot lately, I'm getting kind of addicted actually. I grade everything... you got a website I've probably graded it! just kidding... It's a super tool for those just starting out in the confusing and many times hypocritical world of SEO. It'll give you a good base-point to help you understand where your website really stands according to those search engines we all use every day.

Barack Obama - president-elect

Posted Sat, 11/08/2008 - 21:34 by Mike Hommé


Barack Obama went from being a virtual unknown in 2004 to being the president-elect in 2008.

He was the third African-American to deliver a keynote address at a Democratic National Convention when he took the stage at the 2004 convention in Boston, MA. A few months later, the former law professor at the University of Chicago became the fifth African-American US senator in history, winning with a landslide 70% of the vote.
