Google Chrome file upload input

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 by admin

Recently I downloaded Google’s attempt at a web browser. For the most part it is impressive. It seems to handle css rather well. I would compare it to using firefox. It does not suffer the typical issues of the IE variations out there, it does not suffer the same issues that Apple’s Safari browser has with redirects or other header calls. Overall it is well thought out and works great. More or less it is like they stole all the good ideas from the leading browsers and put it all together into a mash that they call Chrome. One issue I have noticed so far is rather trivial but could be viewed as a bug. I have included a little image to show the one and only issue I see so far.

There is a red box I have drawn in the area where an input box would normally be. The fact that they do not show the input box for a file upload is right on since it is not a user editable field anyway but the one thing that is a bit off is that if you click your mouse anywhere in the area that the input field would have been then it is as though you clicked the “Choose File” button. As I said I don’t know if this should be considered a bug but it could be an annoyance anyway.

A species nearing extinction

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 by admin

Global Warming, Genocide, Terrorism, War. That is all I hear about anymore. I must say I myself am seriously sick of it. Is this all really called for? Are we really that ignorant a species to not realize we are only killing ourselves and not so much ourselves but our children? Just think they will have to spend 50 years of their life or better cleaning up our mistakes if they are actually still alive and able.

You know the thing that bothers me most about it all is this. Global Warming… They try to blame society for use of products such as hairspray. Although I am sure that is not very good for the environment I am sure the missile and bomb tests have a far greater effect than the whole of us and our damaging products yet they still go forth with them.

Now we see flash floods, hurricanes, earthquakes and tidal waves in places that it was unheard of. Who is to blame for all of that? Well all of us for not doing anything about our terrorist countries that we reside in. Yea that’s right I said it so shoot me, it will only further prove my point.

Of all things I hear the other day that the Russians are reinstating their air force and tactical training and boast about the money they have to drive another arms race, which brought them in range of our airspace. Is this necessary? It has been about 15 years since any such thing. Have they been attacked, harmed or otherwise ill-treated? Not that I am aware so why now. Ill tell you why. Greed! Greed for money, Greed for power and the strong urge to DIE! Other than that there is no reason outside of pure ignorance and disregard for our own kind.

Start a movement, bring the masses together and put an end to it once and for all and no I do not mean by bombing the shit out of the planet. I mean get together. Grab a neighbor. Enjoy the presence of life because we are borderline on not having it and our governments don’t give a rat’s ass. They will be all hidden away in their copper lined caves while everyone else sits out here and vaporizes. Do you have children? Imagine sitting at the table for morning coffee as your child plays in the back yard. Next thing you see a flash of light and your kid turn to ashes split seconds before you follow. Yea that’s what I am looking forward to aren’t you?

So to close I have one more thing to say. Smarten Up!

Vermont Weapons Law

Saturday, January 27th, 2007 by admin

Today I did a little research on what the law is in regards to buying and selling knives and what I found has little to do with what I wanted to know but I found it a bit disturbing just the same so I feel I must make a post about it. Here is what the Vermont Law Books have to say about carrying weapons in or around schools.

Vermont State Law [Title 13 V.S.A. §4004 and Title 16 V.S.A. §1166] prohibits carrying these or other dangerous or deadly weapons in school or on school grounds. Any student found violating this law shall be referred to the appropriate police authorities. After a due process hearing, a student may also face suspension or expulsion from the CDC. A weapon as defined in Vermont law is “any firearm…device, instrument, material, or substance, whether animate or inanimate, which in the manner it is used or is intended to be used is known to be capable of producing death or serious bodily injury.

Why do you blogg?

Friday, January 19th, 2007 by admin

So I have now been blogging since October of 2006 and since I started I have heard many rumors of things to come with our wonderful government here in the good ol’ US of A and what effect that will have on bloggers and then every citizen here in the states.

I have heard about the issues that have emerged where bloggers and journalists may or may not be viewed as the same thing and that bloggers should not be entitled to the same liberties and freedoms that a journalist has because they have no editor or anyone to answer to. On my blog in particular I have a disclaimer placed that is specific to the fact that what I or any author on the blog says in their posts may or may not be accurate information and users are urged to look into the things that are discussed further if they are interested in it.

Am I a journalist? Well not for any paper that you have ever read before but I am in a sense a journalist for asylum entertainment reporting my opinions and views no matter how far skewed they may be. For over 200 years now that has been all of our right. Not specifically on the web but I would expect the same freedoms that we are entitled to in our own homes be extended to our own websites. I mean I do pay for this site to even be here so what gives. I pay for it as rent on a monthly basis just like I pay rent for my apartment.

So just what will come next? Will we loose the freedom to talk about what we like in our own homes? That leads me to another thing. I have heard rumor that if you say anything that apposes the government’s war effort that you will be arrested for it. Just what is happening to our land of the free? I can sum it up for you. What do you think? Land of the greed. Home of the slave. Sound about right? I do not mean to say that lightly nor am I being racist or specific to any gender. I mean all of you. Every last one of us. If we just sit here as our rights are eroded and do nothing you will find yourself waking up in the movie Judge Dredd where you have to pay a fine for swearing. Just who is it do you think that will define what a swear is anyway?

This is a huge problem folks! Not to many realize the relevance or see it as effecting them so they will do nothing but what is to commonly overlooked is that for every little thing you ignore and allow to become there is fallout that will surely effect cases in the future that have any similarity whatsoever so hold your seats folks we are in for quite a ride here.

So now lets put this all in a nutshell. Is this news? Surely it has some news in it. It isn’t always the news you read about in your local paper. It is quite possible though that it is in fact news to you. Keep speaking out no matter in what form. Stand up for your rights that are handed to you by God above and do not worry about what all the politicians and bureaucrat have to say about it. They are all just moneygrubbers anyway. You are the real people that matter.

Now I ask you to do only one thing. What thoughts do you have about this? Please feel free to tell us why you blog and what your opinions are on this topic. The more voices that are heard the better chance we have of keeping our freedoms.

Down with the wiki!

Wednesday, January 17th, 2007 by admin

So over the last week or so I have found that wikipedia is very biased and it is not to clear what causes the sites ill manner toward certain users. The policies and guidelines are very specific and after reading the policies and guidelines and very carefully making additions and modifications this one specific moderator altered every one and or removed everything even after adding the content back with specifics as to why the content was added in the first place and facts as to why it is in fact relevant to the pages the content was added to. You will notice that companies and organizations are allowed for specific reasons. After meeting more than one of those specifics they removed the page altogether. I will not go into specifics here but I will say that the reason that they gave for the third time removal was that they classified it as advertising. They stated that it was spam and the reason being was that it promoted a company. Well the article promoted no one at all. In fact there were three companies, organizations named in the article all of which have the same name but no affiliation. The basis for the article was in wiki’s guidelines for companies as Criteria for products and services as number 2 in the list which is read “The product or service is so well-known that its trademark has suffered from genericization” which is a word that wiki has made up and can not be found in the dictionary. This company that the article was based on fell into this category due to the fact that there are three off the top of my head that have used the same name that only I have had registered since 1992 and the rest of these companies followed suit due to genericization. The company also falls into the criteria for clubs, societies, and organizations, which I am not even going to begin to get into, but you get the idea anyway.

Have you ever heard the saying “What is good for the goose is good for the gander” Well think about this I see many companies on the wiki that have external links to their own websites and this is something I had originally not done due to not wanting to be considered spamming. I was also told that the business I was writing about was not well enough known. I responded by the fact that a single Google search alone would prove to him that this company was more than well known and after that a second response that just because he himself had not heard of the company did not mean that it did not exist so I advised him to look it up before going any further. Needless to say I have come to the point with this one article that was written plus additions made to 5 others that were altered to remove my additions I might add by the same person who is a moderator for the wikipedia that the wiki is pointless source of nonsense and the information that is found there is totally biased and can not be counted as reliable in any shape size or form. So if you want to know something you should maybe start with Google, which is a very good source to locate information, Berkley is another and never forget the one that is in hard cover called encyclopedia Britannica. Wikipedia is biased, censored garbage and is a total waste of your time and thousands of dollars that could be used to do something much more important like feeding children in a 3rd world country for instance. You will find one little bit related to me in wiki and at this point I am debating on removing it due to the fact that I don’t want anything to do with this worthless excuse for an encyclopedia.

Censorship

Thursday, January 4th, 2007 by admin

Here at Asylum Entertainment we are currently developing a censorship filter for our content. This is totally by choice and I hope that the others will follow suit were it permits. Up until now Asylum ET has been nothing but an adult audience but now that my children have taken an interest in the web and I have decided to allow one to start posting here I think it is only correct to eliminate any words that at first glance can be found as fowl. Please bear with us in the time to develop such filters. Until then only my child and no other under the age of 17 is permitted to make or read posts unless parent consent is given to read and or write posts. We do not view this as an inconvenience to anyone since our user base is adult at this time.

The Saddam Hussein execution

Saturday, December 30th, 2006 by RevBShaw

Well this is only one opinion of many but I have to comment on this. Saddam Hussein, a man of great disgust to me and to many others I am more than sure. He was hanged to death tonight. Are we out of our damn minds? With this gesture that was made in his hanging we have made it very clear. Not only are we just as bad as Saddam Hussein but we are worse as a people. This disgusts me to no end. How are we any better than he? We publicly murdered this man, a real human being. Despite what he has done he was still a human. He had a name, a family, and even if I do not like to admit it I am sure he had friends. He was born of 2 parents. Not only did we publicly murder him but also people rejoiced at his death.

Let me ask a few questions here.
Would we hang a prisoner or would we use a more humane method such as lethal injection?
I am lead to believe that we would use the needle.
How long has Saddam Hussein been in custody and was he still a threat to anyone after his capture?
I think not. Not unless our prison system is lacking which in the case of such a fowl person as Saddam Hussein I think that we would have made absolute sure he would never get out.
Do you feel better to know that now that Saddam Hussein is dead others will follow?
Do we not realize that an eye for an eye only results in everyone becoming blind?

I don’t know. All I can say is I hope that the world learns a great lesson from this. The first one all of your parents should have taught you long ago. Two wrongs do not make a right. The other lesson I hope we all learn is that in order for the violence and hate to end the bigger man has to be just that. You may think I am out of line or hate me for this post but I really do not care. I speak from experience here. I once had a beautiful wife and someone that I once called a friend killed her. I hated him for this for the longest time and I even had the greatest of opportunity to kill him and many would say it was within my right. Well I gave him one look. This worthless used up excuse for a human and I then raised my eyes up and what did I see. His children. What kind of man would I be if I took their fathers life away to satisfy my feelings of hatred and need for closure? The fact that life was lost is enough for me to say that no more shall be. There is only one being that has the right to give and take life. That is God! The one we as a great nation live under. So please think on that a bit. We are not here to have war or to kill. We are here to live, love and die naturally and that is all. Remember the one guarantee you have in life is that it will come to it’s own end without help and when that time comes you will have to answer for your every decision you made in life.

In the news

Monday, December 25th, 2006 by admin

This week there was a large crack down on drug distribution in Barre, VT. They flew a helicopter to show the dealers that they were serious. They made many busts. The newspaper proclaims that this is similar to what went down in Rutland, VT when the lost tostitos came to town. Well the Sleeper called it the most significant single drug operation in his nearly 30-year association with state law enforcement. I don’t know who the sleeper is but that sounds all covert and shit so whatever, moving on.. So what happened here? How many busts were made? What charges came about? How much did it cost to fuel up that helicopter? What message did that really show? Well I have a few opinions.

This is a link to an article on the costs involved with using a helicopter http://www.helis.com/using/cost.php

I can tell you cost per hour figures out to somewhere around $2000+ all I can say is Ouch!

The message is none other than it would have been without the helicopter in my opinion. Two things happened here though. First we did send them a message. Not one to our liking. What we told the dealers is that they need to crack down as well. What are we nuts? In Rutland city with it’s gang activity. The whole thing was something else. I remember the headlines and all. I saved clippings of them all. What else I remember is what actually went down. I see it all unravel before my very own eyes. The papers make mention of the police involvement and how they ran them out of town. Well they definitely were run out of town. The police involvement was great. They came in after a riot broke out were there were local city folk cocktailing a house that harbored this gang and literally running in and physically tearing through the house dragging them out and beating them down. The law enforcement brought peace to the situation with no use of helicopters or much of anything other than a few smart cops with cool tempers. Were there weapons involved? Yes. Many. Now things are different here. The gang is not here. There are people here. Some are in groups. Everyone is suspect. Things are changing folks. I am going to tell you more about it as we go on.

Political View

Saturday, October 28th, 2006 by admin

Well I am back again with some more to complain about. Politicians(Paid Liars) I am disgusted by the thought that we have these people polluting the airwaves with there political nonsence and slander. Who ever thought that you would be able to get the support from people who you lie to is out of there minds. Surely you have heard a comercial or two from one of the politicians stating how bad the other is. Take Rich Terrant with his comercials about Bernard Sanders and how he has voted against doing anything about drug dealers, pornographers and child molesters.

Well yes maybe he did but are we reading the fine print. Personanly I am disgusted by anyone in any of those three categories but ask youself this. What else was included in these bills that turned Bernies stomach and made him vote against passing it. We don’t realize at first look that there are hundreds of things in these bills. I have not had a chance to look at this specific one yet but imagine 300 pages the first 250 and the last 40 of wich are to take care of things like pedophiles and low minimum wages, hidden in that pile there are ten pages that have things in them that would totaly wipe out your right to speak what is on your mind or even worse maybe even a mandatory curfue for all at 10PM.

Well would you vote for this bill to pass if you knew about these hidden ten pages, I think not. Rather you would vote against it in hopes that someone later on will put together a respectable bill with these things included that you can pass. Another thing before I go. Did you know that political positions have no educational requirement and many politicians have little, if any, formal training in business. Why would we want someone who has never been trained? behind the scene in our government. Sounds like that could be a very bad choice. Anyway that is all for now.
