Double underline misspellings in Firefox

  1. Enter About:config in the Firefox address bar. If it pops up an alert, tell it that you know what you're doing and proceed.
  2. Search for ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle. If you find anything, skip to step 5.
  3. If your system is like mine, you found nothing. That means you have to add this configuration value. Right-click the main portion of the window and select New > Integer.
  4. Now, enter ui.SpellCheckerUnderlineStyle to create a setting by this name.
  5. Now you can set the value of this setting to one of several options: 0 for no highlighting, 1 for a dotted line, 2 for long dots, 3 for a single straight line, 4 for a double underline (like you see above – that's my pick), and 5 for a squiggly line, which is the default.

 Cool.  The double line really stands out.

Cygwin + syslog-ng

Until I can get a real workstation at work and get off this winblows, Cygwin is my friend.  I am working on some OO programming with PERL and really need to be able to log syslog messages locally. After installing syslog-ng, I couldn't figure out how to run it, till I stumbled on a page that mentioned the syslogd-config command. Initially I had some problems because the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files were not world readable (don't know if that is a side effect of the Legato restore of my laptop or just the default behavior) however a quick " chmod a+r /etc/passwd /etc/group " seemed to help. running syslogd-config yielded this output: > syslogd-ng-config Creating default /etc/syslog-ng.conf file Warning: The syslogd service is already installed.  You can not run both, syslogd and syslog-ng in parallel. Do you want to deinstall the syslogd service in favor of syslog-ng? (yes/no) yes Warning: The following function requires administrator privileg...
