Flying Moose

Pogo Moose Incident - Fairbanks, Alaska --- 'They were laying new power cables which were strung on the ground for miles. The moose are rutting right now and very agitated. He was thrashing around and got his antlers stuck in the cables. When the men (miles away) began pulling the lines up with their big equipment, the moose went up with them. They noticed excess tension in the lines and went searching for the problem. He was still alive when they lowered him to the ground. He was a huge 60 inch bull and slightly peeved!'

Lost Bookmarks in FireFox

Too many times have I lost my bookmarks in Firefox, and after reading about how you can uninstall, do a bunch of geeky tech stuff, reinstall, do some more geeky tech stuff, I remembered that all you need to do is find your "bookmarkbackups" folder and use the built-in feature of importing your bookmarks from a file in Firefox. The folder can be found somewhere like:

C:\Documents and Settings\<<Your Name>>\Application Data\Mozilla\
Firefox\Profiles\<<some random stuff>>.default\bookmarkbackups\


Copy that address and open Firefox. In the dropdown menus click: "Bookmarks>>Organize Bookmarks...", this will pop-up your "Bookmarks Manager". In here, dropdown: "File>>Import...", select "From File", click "Next", paste the address into the "Filename" box then select the HTML that had your most recent list of bookmarks. The HTML files are named according to the date it was saved ("bookmarks-2008-03-16.html" would have been saved March 16, 2008, but if it IS March 16, you might want March 15, the 16th one might have saved the non-existence of the bookmarks)


I hope this helped out someone out there in the blog-o-sphere, I know I will need this again in the future when I forgot what to do. Now that you have saved your skin know this, there are 3rd party programs that let you save your bookmarks and stuff either on your computer or online, get one of them, it will save heartache in the future.
