Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

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

Huh. I thought that would be a joke.

This is one of those website where random words are turned into advertising links, and if you accidentally mouse-over them, annoying ads pop up.

Wankers.

Updating iPhone now.

Clearly, I am not a terribly patient person.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, once yesterday's OMGEVERYONESLAMTHESERVERS delays were past, it ran just like a normal update for me, and I've had no problems at all since the upgrade.

DID I MENTION COPYING AND PASTING YET?

Me too. I downloaded it about 8pm last night and it took about 20 minutes from start to finish.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Aw. I kinda wish I'd done it before leaving for f2f.

Is there a way to swap out a video file on YouTube while leaving the metadata intact? For some reason YouTube decide to upload the last 3 Dylan videos I posted at half-speed (while playing the audio at full speed). I have no idea why, but I'd love to fix it without breaking the links I sent to his grandparents.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Pathetic plea for help, crossposted from Natter:

I've been trying for far too many hours now to upload a revised MS to a journal website for one of my bosses; it has to be a Word document, not a PDF, but every single time I upload it the PDF proof they send me back for approval is a 94-page mess ballooned all to hell with markups on every single edit that's ever been made on this miserable thing.

I've turned off show comments, show insertions/deletions, show reviewers, track changes; shut down the show balloons option in the application preferences; shut down all possible remotely edit-related tickyboxes, then quit out, then gone back in, and nothing is working. The document looks clean as a whistle in Word and like a fucking multicolor nightmare in their final PDF (looks clean and perfect when I convert my own original doc to PDF, but I can't submit that), and I can't find any other edit/proofing anything to opt out of.

I desperately want to get this thing gone by the end of the day, and I'm feeling unbelievably stupid. The upload-online submission process has given me exactly this glitch many times before, but I've always, always been able to fix it quickly and easily (including with the original version of this same document--this is a revised resubmission); now I am just Made of Fail. Please, please help?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

JZ, I suggested something in Natter.

Does anyone have a rec for underwater cameras?
