stackoverflow – Daniel X's Blog

I think that the tired old “pretty cool guy” meme is a pretty cool guy. eh keeps going years later and doesn’t afraid of anything.

That’s why I launched prettycoolguy.info. A place to collect all the pretty coolest guys in the world. It’s a site where you can “ask questions” like: “I think Bob Saget is a pretty cool guy” and then vote on answers like: “ehs the father of the olsen twins and doesnt afraid of anything.”

So please go check it out. And add to it. This will be a valuable wealth of internet information soon.

Real testimonial:

where someone says: I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. eh kills lots of aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.
so I made a site to collect all of those

David: I noticed when I went to the site.

me: the secret is the use of metonymy
Where ‘Halo’ stands in for ‘Master Chief’

David: I think it would be metonymy if “Master Chief” stood in for “Halo”. I’m not sure what to call the whole standing in for the part though.
I did enjoy learning about Jimmy Carter’s rabbit attack though.

On StackOverflow a user asked: How can I create an object of a class which defined in the remote page?

The page includes code like this (which I entered into Firebug):

function foo(){ this.bar = 0; }

Then I verified that it could be read from Greasemonkey with the GreasyThug console by the following expression:

_foo = unsafeWindow.foo;
x = new _foo();

This caused a “Not enough arguments” error, whatever the hell that is. Not quite the poster’s actual error. What if we added an argument? “Illegal Value” Bingo! Replicated the issue. Now to solve it.

Let’s try and migrate the function over into the Greasemonkey script zone.

_foo = eval('(' + unsafeWindow.foo.toSource() + ')')
=> function foo(){ this.bar = 0; }

That’s the ticket! Now to instantiate and verify:

Ship it! Holla!
