Commenting stats [redux]

Someone's redone scrapdog's comments stats programme into a web interface (as his was initially) and it's doing the rounds so, well, ages since I last did it.

Had to hack around with the code in order to get the table to display right within my narrow layout (especially with the longer OpenID profile links I've got nearer the bottom), but, well, it's cool. I've moved the cut text as well, worth noting that if you also do it be careful where to put the beginning and end cut^[1]. As we can see, despite starting commenting here less than a year ago, a certain person has raced into second after me, and the rest of the top ten are all people I've met in real life, all but one someone I met before we started reading each others journals, and I've met all but three of the top twenty (I'd like to meet the others, and I've been in the same room as one without either of us realising it at least once).
Total comments: 9040 ( Who comments the most on this journal? )

Easy LJ feed syndication using Firefox

Quickie: About a year ago there was a cool lj_nifty^[1] post about easily adding feeds to an LJ friends page using Firefox. I linkspammed it but the walkthrough I meant to write never happened. Today, andrewducker has written such a walkthrough and made it seem even easier:

1) open a tab and type about:config in the address bar.
2) type ContentHandlers in the filter box.
3) Choose one of the feeds you don't use (Yahoo, for instance).
4) Replace the Title with "Livejournal"
5) Replace the uri with http://www.livejournal.com/syn?url=%s
6) Shut down Firefox and restart.
7) Done!

Combine that with the screenshot on the Nifty post and that, Firefox and a paid account is all you really need. This has of course prompted me to finally getting around to doing that in the config file for this laptop, really ought to start cataloguing all my little hacks and tricks for whenever I switch machines semi-permanently.

On that subject, can anyone remember what you change to turn off that annoying "taking too long to respond" error page and replace it with the pop-up error box that doesn't lose the content you have managed to load? (Our wireless is being a bit flaky on occasions, most annoying).
