I never use Album in my file names, but for a various artist type album I do like to use Performer. Usually like this instead: "%n - %p - %t" For those interested in such things, %p is for Performer and %a is for Album (in case you’d like those in the file name).

I originally searched with "c, h, t, and v" in a different order >_<. Tapping each of my meta keys several times just made the problem go away in Firefox. In the past two days, this has hit Pidgin twice (I just restarted it both times) and Firefox (a pain to restart, because of all my open tabs!). Before that, though, I hadn't seen it in three years. Three years ago, I think I may have narrowed it down to one application that affected others. VNC, perhaps? I've recently gone back to RealVNC (rather than TightVNC). I think I had a Thinkpad T41p three years ago, and now I have a Thinkpad W500. I've been using the same PS/2 keyboard that came with my old workstation (the new UBS keyboard I got looks the same, but feels horrible). I remember the old Thinkpad often had an issue with meta keys getting stuck when using an external keyboard, but that wasn't per-application. I wonder what the common denominator is for all of us with this problem... I just had this crop up again, and I’m glad I stumbled here from Google.

]]> Comment on How Facebook Fails to Scrape by JamesIsIn http://www.soundunreason.com/InkWell/?p=1516&cpage=1#comment-7401 JamesIsIn Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:55:48 +0000 http://www.soundunreason.com/InkWell/?p=1516#comment-7401 Yeah, I suppose that is another viable work-around. For my part, I'm not going to sign up to a different site which accepts my RSS feed (from my blog) and forces Facebook to do what their site claims to do. I just toss the link into my status (as though I didn't have the RSS feed on) and just shrug when the random double post occurs. Which brings me to another point: even though Facebook does on occasion pull from my RSS there is no telling if it will pull a particular post (sometimes a post will NEVER get pulled). Just crappy programming, really. Soon enough all of my friends will trend over to some new social site and I will be able to forget about Facebook except to see those few stragglers who refused to migrate. Such is the way of the Interwebs. Yeah, I suppose that is another viable work-around.
