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

They do now, after I sent the e-mail with the screenshot of the control panel indicating that they are actually defined subdomains.

I'm still waiting (though not holding my breath) for the oh-so-sorry e-mail.

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

I think Flickr's view-counting software has gone insane -- a picture I uploaded about three minutes ago and haven't linked anywhere suddenly has 77 hits (and climbing). Anyone else's account acting bizarre tonight?

Huh. You just made me go in and look -- my counts look fine, but three of my pictures have been favourited by two strangers.

Go team interweb, I guess.

No flickr-weirdness for me, but three of my photos have comments by strangers!

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

Mine is the comment that says, "I like toast."

Somewhere I read a review that the sound quality wasn't that great.

I mostly wonder who it's aimed at -- are there really that many people who own Treos, but not iPods?

XML DTD question: Is it true that once you define the elements that are allowed in certain elements, then they have to be that way across the board? For example, if in a t para element, you allow t guimenuitem but you really only want t guimenuitem to be allowed within a certain structure ( t para within a t step ), can you make that happen? Or are the rules for t para elements always the same no matter where in the structure they appear?

If I only had a brain...

From the FAQ:

Google Web Accelerator uses various strategies to make your web pages load faster, including:

* Sending your page requests through Google machines dedicated to handling Google Web Accelerator traffic. * Storing copies of frequently looked at pages to make them quickly accessible. * Downloading only the updates if a web page has changed slightly since you last viewed it. * Prefetching certain pages onto your computer in advance. * Managing your Internet connection to reduce delays. * Compressing data before sending it to your computer.

So, basically, it's a cache. Some people hate the idea of caching data because it means that there are unaccounted-for copies all over the Interbunny.
