Hangin out

Hangin out

I know it seems I’ve fallen off the face of the earth, but really I haven’t. I’ve been working more hours than I care to think about and have little time for much. But, I did manage to get away with my family last week and we ventured to St. Louis where we visited their Zoo, the Arch and other touristy sorts of things. I also managed to break out my D70 and blew the dust off it to snap some shots, nothing too inspiring, but it was fun non-the-less.

I shot this while wondering around the countryside near Las Vegas. The sun was setting behind the rocks which made the backsides light up. The countryside was way more interesting than Las Vegas itself! Man I’d like to get out and do some shooting! :)

Configure Firefox to allow linking to a file or folder

FirefoxOne thing about Firefox that’s always bugged me is the inability to access links to files and folders using file://.
After some research it appears that this ability is disabled for security reasons. Fair enough, but I want to use it at work.
I have a page on my Intranet with links to installations and folders but they are all located on network shares, not hosted by

So, to enable this you have to add a file to your Firefox profile called user.js
To do it just make a new empty text file and name it user.js
If you already have a user.js file you can edit it and add the following lines:

user_pref(“capability.policy.policynames”, “offlineok”);
user_pref(“capability.policy.offlineok.sites”, “http://YourDomain.com”);
user_pref(“capability.policy.offlineok.sites”, “http://YourOtherDomain.com”);
user_pref(“capability.policy.offlineok.checkloaduri.enabled”, “allAccess”);

Now when you click on a “File://” link from one of the specified domains it will allow it to be accessed.
One think to keep in mind when making links to use this way, Firefox wants the “File://” link to look like this: “File://///” when linking to a file or folder on a network share. When linking to a local file or folder you can just use the “File://”
Note: Sometimes when copying code like the above the quotation marks can get changed by different browsers and text editors, so if it’s not working when you put it into the user.js file check that the quotation marks are normal.

Shiny rust

Shiny rust

Shiny rust doesn’t really make much sense as far as titles go, but I always go with the first title that pops into my head when I look at a shot, no matter how non-nonsensical it may be. I’ve been doing some extra work in the evenings, so I have absolutely no time to shoot or process stuff I have shot. It stinks not having more time, but the extra money is nice.
