Found this on a forum somewhere. It’s hard testing websites in IE if they don’t load!
This worked for me on WinXP using IE8.. should work for IE7 too. This is assuming you don’t have a virus or something causing pages not to load.
Open a command prompt. (Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt)
Type the following (1 line at a time), and press Enter.
cd %programfiles%\Internet Explorer
regsvr32 IEProxy.dll
So I’ve started a new game web site that will contain links to free, fun, online games of various genres. It currently has a very simple design, but I will eventually make a nice layout for it and give it some real functionality (database, possibly a member login).
It was a welcome end to a long day in The Shire. Frodo and Sam had just returned home from saving the world and were ready for a cold brew and a warm fire. Frodo lifted the sheets and hopped into bed, while Sam went and sat in front of the dimming fire that had been burning since they left. Sam gazed into the fire, remembering the events that had aspired that day, when suddenly the fire erupted into a full blaze.
Startled, Sam looks around the room but he and Frodo are the only ones there. Not sure what to do, Sam goes over to wake Frodo, only to notice a ring on his finger. Sam tries to remove the ring, but Frodo wakes up with an evil look in his eyes. “What are you doing?” Frodo asks.
Sam pauses for a moment, not sure what to say. “Frodo… do you have any Gray Poupon?” asks Sam.
“What? You know I don’t eat that stuff. It gives me warts.” replies Frodo.
“Oh.. right. Sorry Frodo.” Sam says flustered.
Frodo turns over and goes back to sleep. Sam paces around the room, trying to think of what to do about this new ring Frodo somehow aquired. Sam quickly looks back towards the fireplace. “CRAP!” Sam shouts, as he grabs the blanket off Frodo to try to put out the fire.
Frodo slowly gets out of the bed, angry at Sam for stealing his blanket. “Sam! What is with you?! You smoked those berries I told you to stay away from, didn’t you?”
“I’m trying to put out the fire, you bloody moron. And there’s nothing wrong with those berries!” Sam says.
“Sam.. there isn’t any fire. Come here, let me see your eyes.” Frodo says.
Sam looks at Frodo, confused. “Frodo, there was a huge fire, I swear!” Sam says, glancing at the ring on Frodo’s finger. Frodo looks at his hand, noticing the ring for the first time. “Where did that come from?!” blurts Frodo.
A muffled voice comes from under the bed “Myyy precioussssss..” as a mangled arm reaches out, shaking.
Gollum crawls out from under the bed.. with baby gollums. Sam looks at Frodo. “That one has your eyes, you sick freak!”
To be continued… maybe
So yesterday I walk out to move my car & see something white under my wiper blade. “Not another ticket! Stupid friggin… grrr.”
Luckily, it’s not a ticket. However, it is a napkin with a message saying they scraped my car & to call them. The name sounded very familiar. I knew it was someone involved in politics. I won’t mention their name, but will say they used to be the city mayor! I didn’t notice the scrape when walking up to my car, so I thought maybe it was a joke or something, but sure enough, after looking, there was a scrape. I’ve only had the car about 6 months, so I was a little upset, but not too much because they admitted to it & left their contact info.
So anyway, I’m now waiting to hear back from a body shop to see how much it will cost to repair.
Can you find him?
Barbecue is one of the best foods in the world. You can disagree, but you will be wrong. Over 500,000 pounds of barbecue is sold daily in 17 states. If you’re thinking “is” is incorrect in that sentence, you are WRONG again! However, you may challenge the number quoted because I made that up.
Anyway, back to barbecue. I’m working on a web site & eating a barbecue sandwich (w/2 packets of hot sauce) from “The Barbecue Huts” and I must say… I’d rather be eating & working on the site than typing here.
So, tomorrow for lunch… go get some barbecue instead of the same ole burger & fries.
Sometimes I get bored and do strange things to my hair..
Today we’re finishing up MAC Sign’s web site. It just needs a few tweaks in the Flash and it should be set.
After reading Rick’s blog about Burger King, I figured I’d share my similar experience.
I went there yesterday to “triple” my chance of winning, and only got 2 game pieces.. both were on the king size fries. The burger didn’t taste good. The fries were mediocre, and the cup of ice with 6oz. of soda was too big to fit in my cupholder.
I did win a free apple pie, but I probably won’t redeem it because it will probably taste as bad as the whopper.
thought about blogging today, but decided to work on other things.
