Strange day...
May. 19th, 2015 11:08 pmToday, work came in at about the time I was leaving the house to go to my tai chi class. It's no big deal, first because I was completely unaware of its arrival (and would have been had I received a phone call, as I do not take my phone to class), and second because, having looked at it, I could knock it off tonight if it was, say, a matter of galactic importance, as the document is less than 1000 source words in size, and I tend to view such jobs as pretty much doable at any time under any circumstances.
Naturally, such talk only invites retribution from Olympus, so let me just admit here and now that I'm exaggerating somewhat: most of the time and under most circumstances, one can slip in a 1000-word job—quality work, mind you—with no negative side-effects.
Talking about side effects, I had been trying very hard to figure out why I could not use a PHP script on my Raspberry Pi to save edits to a TiddlyWiki file. I had gotten the blessed thing to work on my work computer, where I run a Firefox-based browser called Maxthon, but when I tried it in Firefox from my Linux netbook, I was notified that an NS_ERR_RDOM_DOM_BAD_URI error had occurred.
There was precious little I could find out there on why this was happening, but I eventually stumbled on an explanation on a French web page that didn't so much actually explain the issue as make all of the other things I had read about the issue suddenly make sense, but not so much so that I'm capable of explaining it well to anyone else.
In essence, however, it turns out that—if I understood this correctly—Firefox was just doing its job to prevent cross-site access, which in my case boiled down to referring to the same machine using two names (I still have to check this, but not tonight). In the final analysis, however, I really only need to be able to edit TiddlyWiki from my work computer.
Is it that late already?
Time to hit the rack.
Cheers...
