It’s a Frankenclock…

We take pride here at LTSO.com in our punctuality. Actually, it’s more of a lack of punctuality. Given that Halloween was last month, I should have posted this then.

This is a clock we got a while back at auction. It was listed as an Ingraham mantle clock, yet it says Plymouth on the dial. The case is structurally sound, the finish isn’t all that bad, but it’s not great either. Brass could use some cleaning, but I generally sell my finds in “as found” condition, cosmetically. I just make ‘em run, but I don’t touch the cases except for some light (ie: dirt removal) cleaning.

Funny air traffic conversations

Supposed conversations of pilots and air-traffic controllers. Even if not true, they are funny. I’m trying to keep up a pace of around 2 articles a week, and while I’ve got in mind a nice whine about the trials of clock repair, I figure it’d be better to make my 1 reader laugh than cringe.

A military pilot had been having difficulty with smooth landings and the crew was required to make note of the exact time the plane landed at different bases. One particular landing took several bounces before staying on the ground. The crew reportedly called up to the pilot, “Which landing shall we note for the record, Sir?” (Ack A & M Martin)

Tower: “Delta 351, you have traffic at 10 o’clock, 6 miles!”
Delta 351: “Give us another hint! We have digital watches!”

Happy Anniversary, Janelle and Ed!!

A friend of mine and her husband are celebrating 9 years of marriage. And while I don’t know all the juicy details, I’m sure they’ve had to put forth some effort to stay married. Not that they’re in trouble or anything, but you know, the effort one needs to make in any marriage if one wants to stay married.

Make Firefox ask you if you want to save your tabs before quitting

I made a boo boo.

I was working on Chris’s desktop and I was hacking away when I closed Firefox. It asked me if I wanted to save my tabs and stuff before quitting and I told it yes, but I also told it to never ask me again.

Bad move. You see, Chris, and I assume, others in the wide world, like that extra dialog box. It gives them a chance to say “Oh wait, I didn’t mean to close out Firefox.”

I googled, and I couldn’t find the answer. Maybe my googling skills are in need.

So, I created a clean profile and went into about:config and sorted the settings there so changed settings would be shown in a group.

Then I closed Firefox and checked that fatal box “Don’t Ask Me Again.”

Then I found on reopening that “browser.startup.page” was changed. The changed value was 3.

So I reset it. The default is 1.

To summarize: If you wish to restore the default behavior of Firefox when closing the program with multiple tabs, type “about:config” into the address bar.

type “browser.start” in the search field in “about:config”

Then change the value of “browser.startup.page” from 3 to 1 (or from whatever it is to 1)

If you by chance closed out and just said ‘Quit’ and “never ask again” this will let you change that too.

There might be easier ways, but I couldn’t find any. If you have, let me know.
