I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wrong thread, I think.

Well, I saw you here, and got all excited, and couldn't stop myself from busting out the asscaps and exclamation points.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's your problem -- no restraint, I tell you! I take it you got some mail today, then?

Did I ever! I squeed like the fangirl I am, and then my boss read each Freedom Card and simulatenously laughed and cringed, and then I opened the L'Occitane box and just stuck my nose in it and sniffed for about 10 hours. And if I were going to the gym today (which I am not, because I'm sick as a dog), I'd be wearing the t-shirt. Perfect way to keep people from crowding me on the weight machines. "Yo, I'm irreversibly contaminated -- I wouldn't get too close if I were you...."

Yay! I'm glad it all arrived safely. It would have been a bit of a let down if your Xmas present had been 2 months late AND arrived damaged...

(And I wear my IC shirt to the gym all the time. So far, no comments.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Anyone recommend a good file-comparison program for Windows? Just something that can compare two text files and highlight the differences in an obvious and clear way.

The Mac OS X Developer Tools has an excellent program callled FileMerge. I like it so much I bring my iBook to work sometimes so I can use it there.

eta: Word can do this, but I don't like the way it illustrates the differences.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

tommy, I use UltraEdit as a file editor, and it has an UltraCompareLite component to compare two open documents. I've never used the full product.

I use Araxis Merge and find it pretty comparable to FileMerge.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

tommy, Word does that for word docs...which should work on text files.
