Blog Archives for extension development

Pardon my progress…

I think the domain shuffle is pretty much through. I moved over the bulk of my domains last night and dropped 4 today. There may be the odd missing image or directory here or there, but I think I’ve covered about 98% of the site. You may also notice a change on the front page. I have removed my Firefox Extension Development page link from the navigation menu and added my Fanlistings. I doubt I will be continuing the development on the extensions I’ve done in the past, as I’m no longer involved in those projects. I may decide to start new ones in the 3.0 format later, but simply don’t have the time (or interest) to do it now.

Also, I have rearranged the sidebar a bit. Hopefully the recently blogged items are more visible now. (sorry ’bout that Jo! :)) I’ve also added a couple new collapsing sections, the newest being Local Link Love which features metro-area sites and organizations of which I’m involved, or have discussed here previously. Feel free to take a peek and stretch out a bit. :)

There are several new interests I’ve been wanting to add in for a while, so hopefully I’ll have time to make those modifications soon. Also, I will be working on my portfolio more, taking off older works and adding some newer ones. It needs re-structuring horribly, and hopefully Zooomr will be done with their move next week (so most of my images will start working again, LOL!). In the meantime I’m making short notes of what needs updating — while surfing the web looking for an appreciation gift for Jessie’s teacher. (funny there’s a whole slew of teacher gifts sites, or with teacher gift ideas in general)

Right now I’m wishing I hadn’t cleaned out the spams caught by Akismet because I ran across this nifty suggestion for handling splogs (spam blogs). Considering I get a ton of trackbacks from the same 8 or 10 or so, it won’t be long until I add a bit o’ code to the ole HTACCESS file to take care of ‘em! :twisted:

Description:

Browse the MonstersGame: Vampires vs Werewolves (UK) website with ease conveniently from the Firefox browser menu. Menu options available for World 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 players, as well as the forum, news, and support links in addition to other resources. This is a must-have tool for died-in-the-wool MonstersGame junkies. :)

A big thanks goes to: Tommelchen for his help in making this extension possible, the MonstersGame forum users who have helped out with ideas and testing, my clan members for inspiration and advice, and YOU!

mc chris Website Menu Navigation updated to 0.200 on AMO website

Extension was denied AGAIN by the same reviewer. Apparently he found two more problems he had previously missed but no error information or other details given, so I have NO FUCKING IDEA what he’s running in order to recreate these. I’ve tried on several machines and different configurations and had no problems, and no one else reported problems.

grrrrrrrrrrrrr me thinks he’s not testing with a vanilla profile! :evil:

Plus, he’s not responding to my emails and questions, so I resubmitted the extension to AMO with the same file, updated version, and a long-assed note addressed specifically to him. If he denies it again, I’m filing a complaint with the Moz moderators.

mc chris Website Menu Navigation updated to 0.20 on AMO website

One of the AMO reviewers had a problem with the Contact link (last menu option), so I removed it and had to change the version so the AMO system will take the updated file.

That is the only difference between the version hosted here and the one that will be hosted on AMO.

When I get time I’ll revisit the issue and may re-add it when/if fixed.
