Jesus Christ.  I'm imagining a three step process where you randomly mash the keyboard with your palm, then use spelling checker to turn it into words, and they change some of the words because you disagree with the correct spelling.

I imagine you guys think I kid when I say I have issues with the engrish. I do not. It is hard for me to pick out problems. And the rules still confound me sometimes.*


My process is this. Get my thoughts out on paper. Rearrange sentences that came out one or two sentences late (I do that a lot). Check for spelling. Check for missing words (REALLY hard for me to see for some reason). Post.

What I should really add onto that is another go through or two. But at some point, I have to call it for sake of brevity.





* - for instance, I heard that I am not supposed to start sentences with "and", but I do not know why or if that is true.

Starting sentences with 'and' is fine. In fact most sentences should start with 'and'.

I can't get Last.fm to play any song I like that I don't already have. My taste in music must be so weird and random that it does not follow a predictable pattern.

Ah, did not realize that with Pandora. I suggested it because I find all kinds of new music on there. I like or dislike 10 or so songs on a station and then it often finds me new music.

That's not really alarming.  Or surprising.  Amusing maybe.  Perhaps the game itself is cursed, doomed to wander from studio to studio, never to see the light of day.

Or maybe they figure it's not good PR to release a game called 'Duke Nukem' in the midst of a nuclear crisis.

You wouldn't have happened to turn off the radio scrobbling did you? I did that when playing a childrens tag one for my niece and the whole thing got stuck playing the same few "new" tracks over and over again on my recomended station after I forgot to turn it back on.

Don't forget garnishes such as: Fish shaped solid waste.

Naw I left scrobbling (...) enabled afaik. I'll try again though, see what happens.

If DNF continues to get delayed and we never see it from this studio either, well....that would be hilarious. Hard to make a game live up to years of hype.

Also, the first Duke Nukem game was release in June 1991. The DNF release will mark the 20th anniversary of Duke Nukem.

Pff Flashback, I liked it up until re-playing it on the iPhone. Another World blows it out of the water with style and it's simplicity.

Troll 2 is this old trainwreck of a movie well deserving of its "Worst movie ever" status (I saw 15+ years ago)

However,
The documentary about that movie is great! Best Worst Movie is hilarious, insightful and occasionally sad, but always interesting. All thumbs up.

Huh. I've come across the silliest of problems in developing my product webpage: What is the correct way to make a hyperlink that downloads a file?

I get an error with my current technique: I have a "download.php" file that contains header data to transmit the file as binary. The file is transmitted just fine, but I get this console error in Safari when using the link:
Failed to load resource: Frame load interrupted

Eh the error is ignorable I suppose, but I assume it means I'm doing something wrong.

The download.php code is simple:
< ?php
header('Content-type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=foundation_installer.mel');
readfile('http://mayafoundation.googlecode.com/files/foundation_installer_1.0.mel');
? >


Any of you amazing web guys can slap some sense into me? Downloading a file cannot be where I stumble and fail.

I just use an "a href" and the direct link to the file, but I'm not fancy.

Googling suggests that the notification is a Webkit security feature since you are using a script to generate the header. However Safari handles the warning differently from Firefox etc. (despite using the same engine) so you mostly see people complaining about it in reference to Safari.
#215 by Gabe

The script is server side, so doubt it's a Webkit security feature related to scripting. Not that I know what is actually going on.

I'm kind of with bishop, though, why this convolution vs just a normal link to a file?
#216 by G-Man
2011-04-04 23:12:33
Maybe it needs to be able to serve up links to dynamically generated files?
#217 by gaggle
2011-04-05 02:15:18
I did start off with just a simple link to the file itself but I think it actually generated the same error. I can test that later to be sure. But more importantly the file is a .mel file, which I'm pretty sure on some machines will be read as a text file. The purpose of my product is to be downloaded, not displayed in the browser.

Maybe I'll do the same.

It does seem this error only occurs in Safari and only shows up in the console. If that's the only symptom I'll stop panicking and carry on with life.

Usually if I want something to be downloaded vs displayed in the browser I'll set a mime type with apache (httpd.conf):

AddType application/octet-stream .mel

Which probably does the same thing as the first line in your snippet.  Given that apache is good at these things, I'd probably try that first given it's the "simplest thing that might work".  One other place I've had strange errors like this was when trying to set headers using the php header() function after content has already been sent to the browser (even a random space or carriage return at the top of the file).  See here in the description for an example.

There's an old proverb that applies here.

A man had a problem, which he decided to solve using php. Now he has two problems.

There's nothing wrong with PHP, just like there's nothing wrong with Visual Basic.  The problem is it's so easy to use, a lot of people write really bad code with it.
