Orcs and a wishlist

B) :grin: ^^ :evil2: Orcs, orcs and more orcs… My new smileys are all orcs. Hope you like them as much as I do. I have also added them to the comments form to make it easier to use them in your own comments.

Additionaly to my booklist I have now also a wishlist as a small reminder for me what books, CDs and other things I need to buy. Only problem: the javascript widget that should show my Amazon.de wishlist is not working, so I have to use single links and that’s a bit annoying. But well in the end I have decided to use Wishlistr. It is very easy to import my Amazon.de wishlist and to add other items, and now I am very happy with this solution. :top:

Well, tomorrow my WoW account expires and I am not unhappy with that. The whole situation was absolute annoying in the last few weeks. The raids were cancelled, or at least so bad that the encounters stood too long, and it also seemed that our partners of “Prophets of Dawn” don’t exist anymore. It is very sad because most of them were very nice guys, but for some of them our progress in The Eye or The Serpent Shrine Caverns was to slow and so they left the guild. The irony is that they left for our old partner guild the “Nordfluss Bataillon”. A very nice bunch of people but more successfull than we are now, the reason for the change.

A break from all this mess is very welcome to me, nevertheless. I will decide to play again or not in a week or so. Aiyasha and Phiola are still my beloved characters but I feel that it is better to let them behind and start into a new stage of my life. :mmm2:

Firefox Installation Error 203

Ah, what a day! First of all I was re-installing Firefox after the rebuilding of my system lately and what do I see? Yes, I could no longer install Firebug or any other add-on available.

Always the same error occured:

Firefox could not install this item because "install.rdf" (provided by the item) is not well-formed or does not exist. Please contact the author about this problem.

This was always followed by:

Firefox could not install the file at >file location< because: Unexpected installation error. Review the Error Console log for more information -203

Well, my first idea was that the installation went wrong, so de- and re-installing Firefox, but the problem was again there. Afterwards I have tested to install Enigmail and some other add-on to Thunderbird, but here also occured this error, as well as in Sunbird calendar. I have tried every possible solution given in discussion boards, but nothing could help. It was NOT the firewall, NOT the antivirus and NOT a problem with the profiles (the error occures also on a new installed Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird).

A guess of mine was that the Java currently installed led to that installation problem, but also the newest version that was already installed before could not solve it.

Now I am a bit dispaired and pissed off. It seems that no solution is available, nevertheless I hope that one day that stuff will work again (surely only ofter re-building the whole system :evil: ). Until this day I must beg Alex to copy the extensions from his profil to my PC. :( *sigh*
