Not a nice extension

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I finally found some time to look at the upgrades that have been done to CoComments and I was pretty impressed. However the copy of the Firefox extension I had grabbed last week wasn’t exactly a well behaved little extension. It put an icon on the toolbar that I didn’t ask for, and it continually placed itself in the title of new blog posts.

I’m guessing it thinks that is a conversation to be tracked.

While the new version promises to behave more, I still had to turn off tracking conversations on the post page of Blogger. Of course, I could always turn off the automatic mode, but then we’re right back to the biggest problem I have with CoComments, remembering to track my comments!

    I setup a Flickr account, not so much because I’m going to change how I display my traveling photos, but because I needed someplace to store pictures that go along with my posts to the 2guys2cities blog. My question is, when I use Flickr to post to a blog, is there any way to save…

    You know they shouldn’t give very bad worms names that make me think of Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome. It sort of ruins the seriousness of it, doesn’t it? (And yes that movie reference probably ages me more than I care to admit!) That being said, I’ve seen no evidence of it in our office, which is…

    So I checked the switch that conference room was connected to and the port is fine and dandy. I can plug my laptop into the port directly and it has no problem connecting to the network. This is not good. This may mean there’s trouble in the wiring in the walls of that room. I’m…
