Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Coding and Sleeping

One weird thing Vista keeps doing to me. It keeps thinking every folder has music. I open up a folder with all text and word documents and it shows a listing with Artist, Album, Rating, and Track number instead of type, size, and date modified. Weird. Easily fixable, but weird.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That's Trillian, in case you try to google it. Unless there is also one called Trillium.

Yeah, this. I wrote the other post in a hurry and didn't double-check my fingers.

I didn't see this in any articles on 3.0. If you hold down on a link, it pops up some options, including open in a new page!! Woot!!

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

So my iPod touch suddenly developed a whole bunch of flickering white horizontal lines that cover the whole display. (I haven't updated anything on it recently.)

Is the display toast? (It seems to work fine otherwise.)

Wouldn't it seem a bit more credible if you used a Yahoo address? C'mon people, it's FREE!

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

I installed an app as one user on OS X, and now I can't upgrade it as another. Is there any simple way to chown over all the application files to the new user? Also, if I delete the old user, what happens to the rights?

And why doesn't admin behave the way I want it to, which means absolute dominion over all?
