30

A few weeks back I went through my collection of Dave Matthews Band tickets to get my official show count straightened out. I knew I was approaching 30, but needed the official count, so I could update my show list on Ants. You can check out the full list here: http://www.antsmarching.org/tour/SeenShow.php?UserID=53433
Well, it’s now officially 30 (should be 31, see below) shows with a recent trip to see the boys play the first ever concert at the new Busch Stadium, which reminds me I need to get the photos uploaded from Andrea’s camera.
All for now.
Re: 10/5/2004 Kohl Center - I actually had tickets for this show and was on my way to Madison, WI from Champaign. However, this was when I still had the old car (Hooptie) and the damn heater core sprung a leak. I was actually just on the other side of the Wisconsin border, but the traffic was terrible and I figured the damn thing would just break down right there on the Interstate and I would never get to the show. Plus, I couldn’t keep coolant or water in the radiator due to the leak in the heater core, the coolant was not making it back to the radiator…. so I had to turn around. I think it ended up taking me like 6 hours to get home and that was even with the help of my little brother. Who meet me north of Bloomington somewhere on 39 and fixed the problem by just bypassing the entire heater core. Damn piece of junk. :)
Firefox 3 and Autocopy

Autocopy is this great little add on for Firefox that would automatically copy selected text from a web page. Unfortunately, with the release of FF3 this extension failed to install. However, the other day I stumbled across a simple little fix that will allow the add on to install. Here are those notes (mostly incase I need them later).
For the most part, everything that I have tried seems to work….thankfully. I was truly feeling lost w/o this extension.
- Download the XPI from Mozilla Addons
- Open the compressed file and extract the ‘install.rdf’
- Look for the maxVersion (line 25) entry for the Firefox target, modify the entry to ‘3.0.*’
- Save the install.rdf and add it back to the XPI file, make sure your compression app overwrites the existing file
- Install the new XPI file and restart Firefox
Assuming everything went well, you should now see the Autocopy add on in your status bar. Do a mini-dance, rejoice that autocopy is again functioning, and go about your day. Woot!
Note: I can not take credit for these instructions, I found them somewhere buried on the review pages of the Autocopy add on site, but I can not seem to locate that entry now. So, to the original poster, Thanks!!!
All for now.

I had not looked at my Netflix queue in a few weeks and I just saw the notice for the next movie coming my way. Lars and the Real Girl is en route and I have been looking forward to this one for a while. Stay tuned.
