I experienced some problems while using Firefox on Debian. With the use of google it was fixed.

Firefox segmentation fault debian work around. This bug report contains a work around.

I just noticed that the Hit-a-Hint extension is upgraded for Firefox 1.5. This is great because it will let click links and buttons without using the mouse.

When I installed it there was one problem though, it didn't work. The solution was found quickly. Goto about:config and search the key extensions.hah.hints.tags and change that to:

//a|//input|//textarea|//select|//button|//isindex|//frame|//iframe

and it will work. I'm not sure what the problem was, but this will at least make it work.

My Alt key stopped working in rxvt-unicode. Still works in Firefox. I don't have any idea about how it stopped working. After some searching and trying, I found out that I had to add a line to my .Xdefaults file.

URxvt.modifier: meta

After reloading the file with xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults, the Alt key started working again as it did before.

I added hoodwink.d to my website. It's an comment system on top of websites. This is really nice, because my website is based on static webpages, which makes it hard to add comments.

Go to the hoodwink.d to install it and post some 'winks' here.

One of the problems with feeds (RSS, Atom, or something) is that most of the explaination is about XML and the technology behind it and not about the problem it solves.

I would be better if explanations about feeds wouldn't talk about XML or other technology parts, when explaining it to users.
