Pulp and Victorian Heroes

Just discovered that the wonderful Fantastic, Mysterious, and Adventurous Victoriana site, which I blogged a while back, has moved (to the linked address).

The author also has a site dedicated to the Pulp Heroes which appears to also be of the high standard of quality found on the Gentleman’s Victorian concordance.

Trying Mozblog

OK, I seem to have mozblog working (I just set the wrong URL for the RPC server).

Oh,
here’s something cool – I was annoyed that it didn’t have a link button in
it’s WYSIWYG editing mode, but I discovered that if you highlight some text
and drag a link from the top at it, the selection becomes a link.

To understand what I’m talking about, you probably need to see their documentation.

Does this work with the current URL? Let’s see… Yep.
Cool. Now let’s try and publish…

Trying Blogbuddy

This is a test of posting from blogbuddy.
I also found a cool-looking Mozilla add-on called mozblog, but it’s rather buggy.

Modeling sites

Two modeling sites: Models Modeling and www.erhymez.com, both found through a site called blackcuties.com. Which I hit on a Google search looking for some good photos of black men (Samuel Jackson is tragically under photographed, at least as represented online).

Internet Explorer Secrets

Nimster is back-reading my blog and came across this post about the Google-on-Selection menu item in Mozilla. He comments:

“You can do that with explorer too.
regedit \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
Add a key the (Default) value, a REG_SZ should be the action: something like
javascript:text=escape(doc.selection.createRange().text);
mywin=window.open('http://www.google.com/search?'+text,
'Google','scrollbars=yes,width=660,height=460,left=75,top=75,
status=yes,resizable=yes'); mywin.focus();

Add a contexts REG_BINARY field with the value ’31’ (00011111) – I don’t know exactly what this sets, but it works.

You need to restart explorer for this to work.”
