Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm a little concerned about the potential inaccuracy. I've read some bad stories, but even worse, none of the other brands I've researched gave any greater guarantee.

The workaround I'm going to try can be found at www.lacelid.com. I'm going to add a band of velcro, just to be safe. I'll keep you posted!

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

I have a vague memory of an O'Reilly Windows book where the animal chosen for the comment seemed to be quite snarky. Does that ring a bell for anyone? I scanned their site for Windows books (the memory is old enough that it might be

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

Yeah, that rings a bell, but I can't remember what it was either.

Hmm. Could be that. My memory is quite aged.

The dd-wrt is up and running, and I have both static DHCP (feels like an oxymoron) and DNSMasq running. For some reason my TiVo doesn't resolve for the XP box, but does for the OSX one.

Now I'm stuck trying to get PHP on the OS X box to talk to PostgreSQL on the XP. Despite having changed the "listen_addresses" string in the Postgres configuration file, I get nada. Not sure where the error lies. Back to some drawing board or another.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The toad doesn't ring any bells for me. I think I remember seeing a cover and thinking "Oh, snap" (well, no, I didn't think that phrase nearly as easily then as I do now, but that's the gist), but I can neither remember it nor find it browsing.

-t is me.

Well, depending on whether her authentication from OS X PHP to NT PGSQL works. She's at least partly me.

I've changed an hba_conf parameter to "trust" which just strikes me as a big stinky security loophole, but if I don't trust meself, who can I trust?

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

I remember the title Windows Annoyances as an "oh, snap" moment when I first saw it, but the toad doesn't mean much to me one way or the other.
