A Delicious IE8 “APPCRASH” & the Google Toolbar

The Google Toolbar apparently doesn’t feel the Delicious Toolbar is very…well…”delicious”. I’m seeing the same issue on Windows 7 (RC1 & RTM) and XP Pro, so it looks as if the issue is OS agnostic.

I’ve kinda randomly installed other widgets as needed, IE8 Add-On’s being only one category. And I had no issues at first with IE8. But after a while, I started getting the following error every time an individual tab in IE8 gets closed:

APPCRASH plus all the stuff that makes no sense to anyone but the IE team: StackHash_0a9e, app version, etc.

Imagine you have 10 tabs open. You get a separate error for each one. Yay, fun! So, whenever any issues happen with the browser like this, the first place to look is your Add-On’s.

I have a few other Add-On’s I tested with, but had no issues. So we’ll just focus on the two that are butting heads: the Google & Delicious toolbars.

What I discovered is, quite simply, that Google doesn’t like it when the Delicious toolbar is diddy. Diddy meaning “on top of” the Google toolbar. So, here’s the no-no:

So, to fix, just place the Delicious toolbar below the Google toolbar:

Just disable the Delicious toolbar, restart IE and re-enable it to place it below the Google toolbar.

Lame? Heck yea. But at least the workaround is simple. I really love Google stuff. But this one's pretty weird. Time may prove even prove that Google isn't the issue. But for now, until I read otherwise, looks like Google is the culprit. 

I guess we’re lucky Bing is built in and doesn’t have a toolbar. We’d prolly be back to the days of such bugs/viruses that caused our monitors to explode in our faces. Can you imagine a Google AND a Bing toolbar in the same browser??? Dogs & Cats living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!!

Oh, and do you have a problem with Google wanting to be Diddy? Then be encouraged! They have the perfect place for you now.

Don’t Be Ashamed

by Boyd 6. August 2009 08:22

Thankfully, there’s a decent gym here at work. I have it on my calendar to pause what I’m doing and head in there every so often during my day to do a quick 5 minute circuit to shake off the cobwebs and get the blood flowing.

Today I walked in on a lady I’ve never seen who was in the middle of a workout. She was watching a Christian channel. But the second I walked in, she scrambled to find the remote in the room. She then quickly started flipping channels. Ironically, she ended up on a drama series about witches & witchcraft. Just before she hit that station, she hit The 700 Club, paused for a moment, but then continued on to the show about witches. She left it there and went on with her workout.

She obviously didn’t know me or Who I stand for in life. But it appears she was ashamed of Jesus. It’s not my place to judge for sure, but 2 + 2 typically = 4.

Please be who you say you are. If you love the Lord, then don’t be ashamed. If you’re ashamed of Him, he’ll be ashamed of you. Don’t apologize for loving Him. He loves you deeply and only what He thinks matters. No one and nothing else does.
