I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

ah. The more I think about how much music I have, the more I think a 20 will be fine. There is no way that I'll want every song off every CD. It'll be a start.

I might eventually have to get different ones for my different types of music as I have thought all along.

THANKS.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I've just told my boss that I'm fairly confident there's a javascript function that will allow one to show/hide certain sections of a webpage. For example, if I wanted to have a menu that acted kind of like a tree that I could explode at will (right term, right? clicking on the plus sign to view everything one level down), javascript could be used to put in a toggle kind of behavior, couldn't it?

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

I don't know if there's a single function that does this, but I'm pretty sure it can be done. If you do a search you can probably find code that someone's written to do this.

maybe this? [link]

google "javascript tree menu" (without the quotes)

Okay, good. Basically, the vendor told her it couldn't be done without Flash, and we just didn't believe that. Now she can go back to them and say, "in your face!" Thanks, Tom.

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

I went to Costco over lunch, and Pentax makes some tiny cameras. Too pricey for a birthday present from a sister, but nice to drool over. They had the CoolPix 5200 there, which I hefted, and like the feel of. So I'm currently predjudiced towards that line.

Hey. New board.

My PDA came in. It's very, very pretty. Naturally, I immediately broke the connection inside its cradle by dropping it, but it's not a huge deal since the next version of MissingSync for Windows Mobile will be able to sync by WiFi or bluetooth, and power doesn't require the cradle.

I just watched the first 15 minutes of The Inside on it, using BetaPlayer for DivX devices. It plays beautifully, though I may reencode for higher brightness levels in the future.

ita, don't forget to check the reviews on Steve's and dpreview.com.

We just picked up a Sony DSC-V3, as our Nikon is nearly six years old and our little Canon doesn't suit our needs any longer. Will report back on it once I've used it some.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Actually, I should start looking around at digital cameras, as mine is old, literally falling apart, and is 2.0 megapixels (hey, I *said* it was old!), and I'd like a higher-megapixel one for my brother's wedding.

Hmmm.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Wow. Single-molecule transistors.
