Cool.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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

Art Crawl!!!
I just installed the most recent version of flash, you know, so I could go see scores on the Wimbledon site while I am at home and so I can vote on the Rock Star site.
Well, the version I installed was 9.something and at least one of those sites tells me that it needs version 8.
Shouldn't those sites play with the more recent version too?

What do Buffistas think of the Canon Powershot A530?

I was going to recommend the Canon Powershot. I've got the A85 (old skool, yo) and it's been really good. Great on battery life, easy to carry so I actually take photos.

Thanks, Raq. It's come highly recommended from just about everyone, so that's what I'm getting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
iTunes playlist question: Is it possible to make a smart playlist with parenthetical phrases in it? It seems not, but maybe there's a trick. What I want is non-Holiday songs that are unplayed and (unrated or rated 3, 4, or 5 stars). Too complicated!
Oh wait -- I think I have it. Make a playlist of unrated or high rated, and then make a playlist with that playlist, but non-Holiday and unplayed.

Jesse,
yes, you can base a playlist on a playlist too. So if you do one that does the first cut and then base the next playlist on the first playlist, you'll get exactly what you want.

Did it! Phew -- it took me way to long to figure out what should be in the first playlist for the second to work.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I have a meta-Smart Playlist which consists of:
- A Smart Playlist of anything that hasn't been played in the last 12 weeks (and is still checked to be played at all). This also picks up new and unplayed songs
- A Smart Playlist of "New & Exciting" songs -- ones that I've rated three stars and up that have been played less than six times
- A Smart Playlist of "Newly Added" songs that have been added in the last two weeks.
This blend results in a bunch of old favorites that I haven't heard in a while, new-ish songs that I'm excited about, and an infusion of songs that I'm still making my mind up about. And if I don't get around to rating them in two weeks, the 12-week timeout will give them in theory four more tries in the next year.

I use Safari as my browser at home, but I have so much trouble with the new york times website using it that I've taken to openign up Firefox whenever I want to read the paper. Am I doing something stupid - maybe bad seetings?, or does the Times just not play nice with Safari? (The problems are very very slow page load times and lots of spinning beachball of doom).
