I have one of those annoying mild cold / sinus infection things. Have you noticed that the day before you get a cold you are full of energy? That's how it works for me. The day before the cold, I actually started writing a story, and I almost finished the wirework bracelet that had been sitting in pieces for months and months, and I had a really good soak-n-talk with N at Osento and I also had a good talk with OH. Then next morning I woke up with a sore throat.

Silver went ballist ic for about 24 hours. I was inconsolable because I knew if she stayed like that she'd be unadoptable and I'd have to put her down. But finally she remembered that it was OK to be touched and petted after I brushed her with the toilet brush (I know, gross, but the only thing I could find with a handle long enough that she couldn't bite me while I was using it).

I helped at the photography booth at the animal shelter's "Mutt Strutt." We made ~$250. I saw a demo by The Bay Team for Dog Agility.

I love agility trials

Dogs can be any breed, even mixed (except in AKC trials ::ptui::), and they look like they're having so much fun!

There's a meet at Hayward State on Sunday. I'm going.

You really are amazing with animal s- I wish that there were more people like you in the world :) I'm glad that Silver has you and I hope she finds a home.

... there's no extension, and it looks like this:
?????o???`i???w? (partially)

I used to go to Osento a lot in the early '80s. Haven't been there in way too long.

My tech support comes home for lunch in about an hour. I'll ask him. :)

(Unless, Kathy, you can get here sooner .... ;) )

I'd be lousy tech support, I can't figure out why you can't see it :). Is there something turned off in your browser that would make a lack of a file extension a problem?
Should we perhaps take this off LJ? :):)

Aha! It won't open in Netscape, but opens in IE. I use IE with LJ because I get less error messages than I do with Netscape, so I was opening with IE.

Actually, the answer is a little more complicated.
The web server involved plays a role in the
act.


In general, web servers look at the files
they serve and assign it a MIME type (JPEG, GIF,
HTML, etc.), typically based on file extension,
although CGI scripts can typically describe
the MIME type of their own output, etc.


A file with an unknown extension will get
something boring like text/plain.


Several browsers do have logic to try and
look for cases of missassigned MIME types,
to fix them up. If you do a properties of
the bracelet file (without the .JPG extension),
although you can see the file you'll see that
the properties pane still thinks it's a text
file.


Religious HTTP zealots would say that you
have to fix the extension on the web server
to do the right thing. Many tiems browsers
will fix up mismatches for you, but ignoring
zealtory it's probably best to not count
on that logic.


Not that this makes any difference, I just
had to exercise my geek muscles.

Oooh, and what mighty muscles they are. :)

I'm a zealot. But you knew that.

Super Geek to the rescue!! :):) Thank you, Joe. My natural curiosity (I was a very annoying 2-year-old :)) has been satisfied.
