Back online in Hanoi. Fixing my blog.

This didn’t work out as expected. I left Hong Kong and my blog was broken at least for those, who use Firefox. The issue lay with the javascript that embeds the disqus comments into the page.

Now I’m in Hanoi, got internet and even had some minutes to fix the issue. First of all a small recap: the issue arose because I wanted to load the disqus embed javascript after the actual page had loaded and the hyphenator script was doing it’s best to relayout the text.

The problem boiled down to the document.write call in the embed script which is not given enough love by jQuerys $.getScript and essentially just writes out a simple stylesheet.

Therefore the solution was to split the original embed.js into a javascript and css part, which get loaded seperately. I still think disqus should officially split both apart. Especially for caching reasons and customizations.
