Beau has printing software that says: "printing started" and "Printing completed"
I HATE IT. I always look up and think "who is that strange man in my house commenting on printing?"
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Hey. New board.
I turned on spoken alerts once. I turned them off five minutes later.
ION, b.org looks cool in Pocket IE. For some reason the user titles are bigger than the notmal text. It's fun.

Next question -- I want to use htaccess to redirect calls
This will do the trick (in subdir/.htaccess):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /rss.xml
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.rss [L,R,NC]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Actually, I just went with
redirect /rss/rss.xml >[link]And it looks okay. Is there a client usability difference between the two?
And it looks like I spoke too soon for Bloglines -- is anyone familiar enough with the RSS standard that they can tell me if the file itself is being checked for a last changed time? Or is it bloglines that's working it's own way?

Skipping a hundred or more posts to ask: Is there a reason I'd come home and find my TiVo cycling between a grey screen that says "Welcome. Powering up...." and a screen with the TiVo cartoon that says "Almost there! Just a few minutes more..."? Is there something I should do about that? It's been maybe 15 minutes since I got home, and it's entirely possible there was some sort of power failure while I was gone...but I doubt it was coincidentally just a few minutes before I got home! Which means this may have been going on for some time...

redirect permanent /rss/rss.xml >[link]

Thanks, Eddie. It's all academic until I resolve the client updating issue -- I'm tinkering with guids now.
Digital SLRs get cheaper and cheaper.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Yup. Yesterday, our marketing assistant walked away from her Mac after setting up a print job. There was a printer error, and the frelling thing started announcing the error to the entire office, scaring our receptionist.
I really hate Steve Jobs.
Pfft. you can turn it off.
XP has talking printer dialogs, too.

Oh yeah, here's a *theoretical* question.
If one were to somehow, hypothetically speaking, get one's hands on a supposed OSX for Intel install DVD, what format would be used on the drive one possibly might have under such alleged circumstances? Fat32? HFS+? NTFS? Linux?

Our wings are not tired
I keep lusting after the digital SLRs. I'm planning on buying one in the next month or two. I'm leaning towards the Canon EOS 20D at the moment. In the meantime I just upgraded my pocket size camera. I've been shooting with a 2 megapixel Canon A40 and I'm now the proud owner of a 4 megapixel, ultra tiny Canon SD300.
