FireMath – MathML editing made easier
I discovered FireMath today, an addon for Firefox that makes editing MathML much, much easier. Give it a spin. I just wish more browsers than Firefox supported MathML out of the box.

Nintendo DS and dd-wrt, revisited
In an earlier post I detailed how to get your Nintendo DS connected to a router with dd-wrt. One problem I had back then was that I could only make it work in 802.11b-only mode. The solution is to go to your dd-wrt page, select ‘Wireless’, then select ‘Advanced Settings’ and set ‘Basic Rate’ from ‘Default’ to ‘1-2 Mbps’. Now you can set ‘Wireless Network Mode’ under ‘Basic Settings’ to ‘Mixed’ instead of just ‘B-only’.

docutils: ImportError: No module named roman
For some reason setup.py can fail with docutils complaining it cannot find the roman module. One thing that works is just removing docutils from your site-packages and reinstall it.

JSONP with Werkzeug
So I had implemented a simple JSON data server with Werkzeug for a classroom experiment. Unfortunately in my haste to get everything up and running I totally forgot about the fact that, since we cannot allow uploads to this server of various custom made webpages, using jQuery’s $.ajax() everything just fails since it will then be a cross-site scripting request.
So, normally you would do something like the following in order to return JSON data:
return json.dumps(data)
Which would be used with the $.ajax() call in a way like the following:
$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "http://example.com/json/something", data: "parameter=value", dataType: "json", error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown){}, success: function(data, msg){} });
Which is perfectly fine for scripts getting and using the data on the same host/domain. But, as said before, this will fail with warnings similar to: "Access to restricted URI denied" code: "1012" nsresult: "0xdeadc0de (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)".
One way out of this is using JSONP. jQuery has a $.getJSON() function, which loads JSON data using a HTTP GET request. Now, the simplistic way to convert your code would be to change it as such:
$.getJSON("http://example.com/json/something", function(data){} );
But this causes another issue. Since $.getJSON() GETs the JSON data, but doesn’t use eval() on it, but instead pulls the result into script tags, it somehow causes,on Firefox at least, an invalid label error. In order to fix this you need to set up the JSON data server to properly support a callback argument, to use $.getJSON() how it is meant to be used:
$.getJSON("http://example.com/json/something?jsoncallback=?", function(data){} );
In the code above the additional parameter jsoncallback will, thanks to jQuery, get the question mark replaced by an alphanumeric string (typically in the form of jsonp followed by a timestamp). This value should be used to wrap the resulting JSON data with. This means you would have to change the initial Python code to something like this:
return request.args.get('jsoncallback') + '(' + json.dumps(data) + ')'
Of course this causes problems when you want to reuse the code for both AJAX use on the same host/domain and use it from outside. So in order to make both work you can test on whether or not the callback parameter is available and return the appropriate data. I came up with this little snippet for that:
def jsonwrapper(self, request, data): callback = request.args.get('jsoncallback') if callback: return callback + '(' + json.dumps(data) + ')' else: return json.dumps(data)
