Make Firefox wise to remember Salesforce Credentials

Hi All,
I am back after a long break :). Today i want to share a good trick which help me to save my time in many ways. Thanks to my friend (Abdul Vahid) who given me hint for that.

Problem:

Solution:
So here is the solution trick :)

• Find out where you installed your firefox and go to Components folder. My location is like this "D:Mozilla Firefoxcomponents".
• Find the "nsLoginManager.js" file and open this in any editor. Before doing this you need to close all instances of firefox.
• Find out following line of code and comment it. I found it near line #805.

Before comment




After comment



Save the file and start your firefox again.

(Note: The above steps given for Firefox 3.6 version. In other version it may differ)

Now see, whenever you try to login with username/pwd. Firefox will ask (prompt) you about "remember" password feature. Once you click on "Remember". It will save your username/password for your org. Next time when ever you try to login using your username, it will auto fill password like old days :)

Now, i do not need to maintain any external password doc. Isnt it cool :)


Thanks

Make Your Game Easy Then Make It Easier

I started writing my first RPG for Spiderweb Software in 1994. Yes, this makes me old. When I started my cute, little shareware business, I had a lot of instincts for how to write a good role-playing game. Happily, about 85% of those instincts were good ones, so I was able to write solid games and make a living.

But 15% of my original instincts were not good. In fact, they were terrible, and it has taken many years for me to realize that. Even now, I have to fight those bad instincts with all of my heart, and I lose as often as I win.

My worst instinct has to do with game difficulty. Im a hardcore nerd of the old school, and Im not truly satisfied unless a game is really difficult. Other people, also known as "regular humans," do not, in fact, want this.

I used to succinctly describe my views about game difficulty thus:

People will forgive a game for being too hard. They will never forgive it for being too easy.

No. This is, in fact, completely, 100% opposite from the truth. A better summary of reality would be:

People will happily forgive a game for being too easy, because it makes them feel badass. If a game is too hard, they will get angry, ragequit, hold a grudge, and never buy your games again.

Video games are leisure time expressions of adolescent power fantasies. They should only be hard if players specifically request that they be hard.

I tend to like hard games. I am perfectly happy if any given title has 3 or 4 fights that requires 3 or 4 tries each to beat. But I am increasingly recognizing that this makes me a bit of a mutant. I am also realizing that while I like (or at least dont mind) the occasional repeated failure, I dont require it. I blasted through Brutal Legend with ease and I still had a great time. Plants vs. Zombies is easy, and it is also terrific. On the other hand, a game like Ninja Gaiden 2, which would happily make me refight bosses ten times on the easiest difficulty level ... Well, that was just stupid. Never again.

After long reflection, here is my new rule for RPGs I write:

When a player is on the default difficult level, has built his or her characters poorly, and is playing straight through the main storyline with mediocre tactics, that player should almost never be killed.

I can almost hear the heads of hardcore gamers imploding with impotent nerdrage. But seriously. If you have a problem with this, I think youre getting a lot of your fun from making other people have less fun.

Of course, a game should have harder difficulty levels. And, if a player chooses to opt-in on higher difficulty, they should be seriously nasty. But, when played on the default difficulty, the game should be accessible to your mom or average eight-year old.

Im about to release my next game, Avernum 6. And it doesnt live up to what I have learned. In fact, in parts, it gets downright tricky. But then Im going to write an all-new game series, and I promise that it will be pretty easy on Normal difficulty.

And if you turn the difficulty up to Torment, well, Ill be gunning for you.

Oh, and one parting thought.

If your game is actually fun, killing the player wont make it more fun. But nothing sucks all of the fun out of a good game faster than repeated failure.

Make it Take it Blog Tour

Welcome to this stop for Make it Take it blog tour! Krista Hennebury, the author of this beautiful book, Make it Take it, has been a very lovely friend of mine for years. I couldnt be happier when she shared with me the news she was writing this book. She is a very talented quilter/sewist but to me, what makes her very special is her friendship. She has always been willing to help friends in need, teach them, and support however way she can, (not to mention this amazing alphabet quilt she has put together with friends for my baby!) This books theme is around sewing together which I think is appropriate and perfect for her first book. She has years of experience in attending retreats, sewing with friends, and teaching. Unfortunately I have never had a chance to sew with her just because we live way too far away from each other, but her MQG has always been the guild I want to attend the most partly because there are many other members in it that Ive known for years and have admired as well!

I am just so honored that I was able to contribute my project for this book filled with ubber talented people. To be honest, I was nervous because I knew most contributors including Krista herself are way beyond creative, and I didnt know I could come up with something that is up to the standard! Well, but this is very typical of me to feel inadequate, but this was an opportunity I had to right jump in!


I ended up designing these bags for her book. When Krista asked me to come up with a design for her book, it was right around the time I made this bag over two years ago. I had a lot of requests to make it into a pattern/write a tutorial on it, so I suggested the project for the book, and Krista kindly accepted it. I need to warn you that there are minor corrections to my pattern. Here is a link to a correct instruction. (See the part squared in the yellow line under the cutting instruction: in the book it asks you to cut two pieces but you only need just one.) So sorry about this!


There are so many things I want to make in this book! So far Ive made these double scissor keepers which are designed by the lovely Amy of During Quiet Time. This is so fun and easy to make, and it is such a great project for quick gift making. It is very likely your sewing friend has scissors that need to be organized in a pretty, handy way like this, but it isnt likely she already has a cute keeper for her scissors, right? I am giving these to my mom and my mother-in-law as birthday presents. Now I know I need one for myself too because it is perfect for my great Kai scissors my friend Mary gifted me :)


Fabric used for these is Denise Schmidts older fabric (floral) and my Lighthearted (text).

Make Linux look better with mozilla add ons

Since Jaunty, Ubuntu has a very cool notification system. KDE developers have also reworked the notification system to be more elegant and functional. The only problem is that not all applications use them yet, so there are inconsistencies between applications. This is solved for Firefox and Thunderbird, with the use of add-ons.

For Firefox, there is FirefoxNotify if you use Ubutnu and PlasmaNotify if you use any KDE based distribution.



For Thunderbird you can use Mozilla Notification Extensions (currently experimental, didnt cause any issues to me) or Growl New Message Notification if you are using a MAC. The page of the last, notes that there is a newer version in the projects website, but at the moment it just displays "Blog program not done yet."

Make your car a WikiLeaks Support Vehicle with magnets stickers

Bumper stickers... youll find a couple at the end of this post

This is a little project from the BeanLab, inspired by @karwalski, @WikiLeaksUte,  @WikiRacingTeam,  @WikileaksCar,  @WikiLeaksKayak and of course the fantabulous original @WikileaksTruck... which youll also find here (where you can buy some cool stuff too!).



Like the badge designs, many of these designs will work on a variety of applications. You can just email me the particular specifications (dimensions & file type) your printer needs, and Ill send you the files you need. Feel free to request designs too! If youre interested in wearing any of my designs on an ethical Organic Cotton T, get in touch with the BeanLab.

Car magnets

A great way to jazz up your vehicle with a WikiLeaks support design, without permanently marking it. And you can get some affordable magnets printed by uploading hi-res jpegs - or I can email you better quality files. These designs are around A3 in size.

Of course theyll work well as stickers too. Youll also find a couple of bumper sticker designs later in this post.

Join the WSV fleet

Transform your car into a WikiLeaks Support Vehicle

The MGCTFU strikes terror in the hearts of the corrupt

Form your own Mobile Government Corruption Task Force Unit... yeah thats a MGCTFU

Turn Top Secret on its head

These designs for Australia (really?!!)

Not sure about the design. But maybe you like it or would like your own slogan on it?

Remember any of these designs can be adjusted to different dimensions... just ask the Bean

Bumper stickers

Bumper stickers... an old favourite for getting a message out there

 Heres one place online where you get your bumper sticker printed easily. Just upload a hi-res file... There are plenty of options online in different parts of the world... and dont forget your local digital print shop.

 

On your bike?

 

Spread the Love with WikiLeaks heart stickers

If theres enough demand, this bean is looking at producing a few items for WikiLeaks, Julian Assange and Bradley Manning supporters.

Many people are producing their own posters, Tshirts, badges etc and all of these designs are free to be used by all. The idea is to make it even easier for those who dont have the time or motivation to produce their own supporters gear. It also provides the option to personalise some items with custom designs.

Supporters gear consists of items you can distribute to promote discussion and also to raise funds. Sydney supporters recently raised some of the cost of their rally with badges for donation.

Heres an initial offer for WikiLeaks heart stickers

And heres the file to DIY... or send me dimensions or a template for files for your project

And of course, dont forget the Official WikiLeaks Store, where you can buy some very cool gear including the only mug this bean drinks from... and help keep WikiLeaks strong!

Youll find some great gear at the Art Superheroes shop too, including their amazing Handmade Polycarbonate and Kevlar Guy Fawkes Masks, WikiLeaks Adhesive Vinyl Decals, and Signed Limited Edition Prints of the WikiLeaks Truck.

And if youre really into DIY checkout the StencilFiles, a new WikiLeaks supporters street art project and sharpen your scalpel.

Make Your own My little sandbox

Just the other day I was looking around the internet for some sensory ideas. With the change in seasons, I am anticipating those cold (very cold, were in Vermont!) winter days when we can only get outside for a few minutes at a time. Around here our hands are covered all winter so although we dig, build and play in snow, much of a sensorial touching and feeling experience is limited. Last winter we had our indoor sandbox which provided some much appreciated sensory play. While I havent gotten an indoor sandbox going yet, I did come across a great little idea in the meantime. Have you seen these before?
Its called a My Little Sandbox. There is a whole series of them (found on Amazon) and theyve got good reviews. I thought it looked like something my daughters would enjoy so I made up one for our home.



Our sand is pretty well mixed with dirt, leaves and sticks from a summer of outdoor play, so I opted for using rice in our Little Sandbox. I had this miniature farm from long ago that fit perfectly.



After observing my daughters play, the rice has worked out well and is easier to clean up (they are good about not misusing it and can sweep it up independently if needed.)





They have enjoyed using it and I like that it provides the sensory experience of the rice along with encouraging creativity and imagination.
