Tour de France geeking

[topaz]

Do you, like me, catch a snippet of Tour de France coverage every chance you get? And like me, are you frustrated to see riders whiz past and not have any idea who you're looking at? And, like me, are you a Mozilla/Firefox user?

Take heart, friends, a solution is at hand.

Add a bookmark to this URL:
http://www.letour.fr/2004/us/coureur.oft?service=RaceServer&RaceType=TDF&RaceYear=2004&Language=ANG&PersonName=%s


Then assign it the keyword "tdf".

Thereafter, if you type "tdf" followed by the number on a rider's jersey into the location bar in Mozilla, it will bring up a page with that rider's name, team affiliation and c.v.

It is, as they say, da bomb.

Weird. Your fix fixed my friends page, beyond a shred of doubt. Yet when I look at the cut-tag page, I see the behavior you're describing. Maybe it got changed for you when you went back to edit it.


As far as I know, there's no reason not to just write links to things using appropriate HTML (http://www.littlefluffy.com/) in LJ entries, but maybe there's something I don't know. I mean, it's HAPPENED.
