mime types

While debugging some Javascript code in Mozilla’s handy Javascript console, I got this error whenever I loaded a page from my site.

Warning: The stylesheet http://dan.hersam.com/css/white.css was loaded as CSS even though its MIME type, “text/plain”, is not “text/css”.

Some research revealed that apache uses a mime.types file which defines all of the types it knows about. If the type isn’t defined, it uses the DefaultType directive which is usually set to text/plain. To get rid of the error I simply had to add the following line.

text/css css

You can also add the following line to httpd.conf or your .htaccess file

AddType text/css css

It’s strange that the browser didn’t pay attention to the <link> tag in my page, which includes the type.

<link href=”http://dan.hersam.com/css/stylesheet.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css”>







inquiring searchers want to know

The questions below were gathered from search engine phrases that led to my site. In other words, someone typed in one of these questions and came to this site looking for an answer. I thought it might be useful to provide direct answers to their questions, since many of them probably left in frustration. I’m just doing my part to pave the information superhighway.

[What are] things girls ought to know about guys?
Guys know as much about girls as pigs know about flying a plane. In other words, don’t worry about it; we’re all in the same boat.

What does it mean if a guy breaks up with you, but still has contact?
If he was interested enough to date you, he may still like you. The reasons for breaking up could have been complex, and even though he doesn’t want to continue dating he may still enjoy spending time with you. It could also mean that he feels bad about hurting your feelings. Even if he knows it was the right thing to do, he may want to make sure you’re okay.

Regret, sudden, marriage, too fast, relationships, date
Yes.

Can a guy think another guy is attractive?
Short answer, yes but there may be undesired consequences.

Guys can be a tad judgmental if you frequently refer to guys you find attractive. It depends on the context of your observation, but if you want to avoid the potential of being considered gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that), I wouldn’t recommend it.

Why is my web-site not found on google?
Because it’s a web site, not a web-site. (Rim shot). You should first submit your URL. If it’s not listed after a month, you can look at Google’s information for webmasters.

What was the weather when Moses parted the Red Sea?
Partly cloudy with a likelihood of sudden and severe downpours.

When is national butt grabbing day?
In order to answer this question, I Googled the phrase and you can imagine my surprise when I saw the #1. It was the account of my trip to Zion National Park. The bold text shows why it was the top result.

… trip to zion national park, … at my naivety while sliding down a hill on my butt, grabbing wildly for … I would soon curse the day I thought I knew what steep was …

So you see my young friend, National Butt-Grabbing Day is on June 27th, except it really refers to sliding on your butt and grabbing wildly for something to slow you on the way down.

What makes Citizen Kane number 1?
I had the very same question and have yet to find a completely satisfactory response. Some say it’s because the cinematography was so far ahead of its time. Others claim it was the engaging story.

My theory is that it has reached such a beloved status that no movie, no matter how good, can ever hope to compete. So many critics have praised it as the greatest film ever made that it’s virtually untouchable.

It’s similar to men we admire from United States history, like Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin or Thomas Jefferson. If we were all living back then, I’m confident there would have been just as many nay sayers as there are about current national leaders. The issue is that sometimes, when an influential person dies, their admirers build them up. This makes them appear to be better and better until they are considered to have been nearly perfect. When that happens, no one, not even the actual person that existed, will ever compare favorably.

How would you redesign an ATM?
I would make it give me all the money it had whenever I visited it.

What word starts with a ‘t’ ends with a ‘t’ and has a ‘t’ in it?
Tantamount

How fast does a sneeze come out of your mouth?
Fast enough to warrant covering it with your hand.

Why does [the US] dime have 118 ridges?
Because the man pictured on the dime is FD Roosevelt (11 characters) and his first name was Franklin (8 characters). Hah, I just made that up. There is no special significance to the number. When the dime was first minted in 1946 it had silver content, so ridges were added to keep people from shaving them off for silver. The ridges were of a certain width, and at that width, 118 fit around the rim of the dime.

How [can] a guy get pregnant?
He can’t.

Why do people get cheated?
Because unscrupulous people prey on gullible people.

Why is it called monkey bread?
It depends on what you mean by ‘it’. If you’re talking about the bread recipe by that name, one theory is “cuz it looks funny like a monkey does.”

If you’re talking about the fruit of the Baobab tree then it’s because the fruit is bread-like in texture and monkeys probably ate it.

Can you ever start a sentence with and?
And upset all the English teacher types?

How do I get rid of a canker sore?
I have used Alum, which hurt like the dickens and wasn’t all that effective. I also used Anbesol, a liquid anaesthetic, but it simply dulled the pain.

Other remedies include putting an aspirin tablet on them, taking a swig of Listerine, or using lysine tablets. There are many other potential remedies that may be worth trying.

What book does the quote, ‘O what a tangled web we weave’ come from?
It’s from a poem called Marmion. It was written by Sir Walter Scott. The quote is found in
Canto vi. Stanza 17 and reads *,

O, what a tangled web we weave
When first we practice to deceive!
A Palmer too! - no wonder why
I felt rebuked beneath his eye;
I might have known there was but one
Whose look could quell Lord Marmion.

How I use email?
Write message hit send.

Who wrote the quote, ‘If my mind can conceive it and my heart can believe it I now I can achieve it?
Jesse James

What movies are out right now in the theatre?
It depends on the theatre, but the following sites should help.

www.imdb.com
allmovie.com
movies.yahoo.com
movies.go.com

But does it work?
Why yes, yes it does.
