I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, it's set to keep until they expire. And as far as I can tell, it's all my cookies. Here, LJ, delicious, Netflix, everything.

Do they look like Legolas? We can work something out.

Hey. New board.

I'm running a new channel scan in light of Friday's Official Analog Shutoff, but my TV claims it has found 42 analog channels so far (it hasn't started the digital scan yet).

What the what?

All is well that ends in pizza.

They might not be broadcasting anything. Blank channels.

Or else they are engaging in voluntary Analog Nightlight.

From Slashdot:

Local stations may participate in the voluntary 'Analog nightlight' services in which TV stations agree to keep an analog signal turned on in addition to their digital signals to provide information about the DTV transition and to notify unprepared TV viewers of emergencies, such as hurricanes."

I think there is a time limit, though, as new uses are coming for the bandwidth.

My Safari just upgraded to 4.0.

Hmmm.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Daniel, I actually like it, except for the relocation of the refresh button. I get a HUGE kick out of the "Show Top Sites" grid. Mine are very predictable (b.org, LiveJournal, Lolcats, the Cincinnati Library, etc.).

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

Opera keeps crashing on me. I may be switching to Safari instead. Putting up with Opera is just silly. But I have loved it for years.

Currently I'm Firefox's bitch -- it's all those themes and handy addons that have me flopping over and baring my throat.

I agree. apparently 3.5 is awesome with its features, but I'm not diving in until I'm sure it is stable and has all the add-ons I want.
