Massive Blog Updates and Tweaks
It seems like every third or fourth post in this blog is about updating the site, but here goes another one. This blog has been long-neglected and it’s time for that to change. Today I upgraded Wordpress, the plugins, and the theme to the most recent versions. While I was at it I changed some of the plugins I’m using to improve the site and add new features.
I made a lot of changes to the theme. While I like Grey Matter, I’ve always felt it lacked color. Upgrading to version 3 changed the RSS icon to orange, which was a start. I then added the striped background, a stylized Twitter feed, and a bar across the top with my social media information and links.

Solving XUL Permission Denied Exceptions
Our company has a XUL-based CRM-ERP application that I maintain. Like most applications we run into bugs from time to time. We’ve had an ongoing battle with some very annoying permission denied exceptions. The exact error varies but it’s always in the form “Permission denied to [accessing|get|set property] XULElement.something”. Here are some examples:
- Permission denied accessing XULElement.parentNode
- Permission denied to get property XULElement.selectedIndex
