Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Where are you getting the Tour de France updates?
Today, it's at [link] -- stupidly enough, the URL changes for each stage, but if you go to letour.fr and pick "English version" on the front page, you'll get what's happening that day.
If you have a Mac with Tiger, there's a Tour de France widget. IJS.

::is sad that iBook was not brought to work today::
(another reason to want Tiger. dammit.)
Canada was ahead in debit card purchasing, IIRC, since I used it before I left in 93, but it didn't pick up in MI until some time after I got there.
Late 80s, even. It was all over Ontario, anyway. It definitely took a while longer to catch up in the States.
It looks like Emily is visiting Jamaica. [link]
The simplest widgets are just HTML and Javascript (and maybe some XML). So it seems to me that simple widgets should also run in Windows, either in a browser window (widgets can run in a browser window on the Mac) or as an Active Desktop thingie.
I've never tried this, though.
eta: come to think of it, many widgets use an OS X graphic API call (or something) to draw the graphic portion of a widget....
Yes, I know this should be in Tech....
Jessica, now would be a good time to listen to "Waiting for the Electrician Or Someone Like Him"!
Heh. Actually, I'm just debating whether or not it would be tempting fate to take a shower. With the way today's going, the UPS guy's guaranteed to show up as soon as I've gotten naked, so I think I'll wait.
I don't like using my debit card for shopping because it forces me to keep too close track on how much money I have. With cash, the money's already gone from my account, and with credit, it's not due until the end of the month. Debit purchasing is unsettlingly instant to me.
recon...hahaha...cile...hahaha...whoa...excuse me....HAHAHAHA.
if it is any consolation, it is STILL of by some random amount under a dollar. Used to be $7 something but that mysteriously went away.
I'm a wee paranoid when it comes to money.
Season 1 of Remignton Steele is coming out on DVD!
I always liked this season best, before Doris Roberts was allowed to annoy me.

I like the instantaneousness (is that a word? instantaneosity?) because it makes me keep closer track. My new card bugs, because they charge a fee for debit transactions with the PIN but not for charge transactions. That day or two before it reflects in my account is what makes me nervous.
