This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Should be okay, although all lowercase is generally more standard. As long as the application using the files knows they are all caps, it's not a problem. It does vary with different flavours of UNIX, but letters, numbers and hyphens is fine across 'em all.

I have a feeling this is going to provoke laughter. But is there an easy way to export Word to clean html ? No fonts, no CSS since it is being plugged into a blog template with CSS of its own.

I can't link to it from my phone, but you want to look for a program called "tidy".

Tidy cleans up the code. But it leaves the font and classes and such. How to do I get it to generate simple html, no css, given source with CSS?

Ah and Kevin's link helps. It still produces a few simple classes; but they are simple enough to eliminate with search and replace. (The template can't handle classes at all, unless I want to inherit from the template CSS, and it is pretty restrictive even on that.)

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda

Does anyone have anything bad to say about Sony digital cameras? I'm looking to invest in one (finally), and a friend's father gets the dealer's discount. I haven't shopped around a whole lot, but the discount is very appealing at this juncture.

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

Google Desktop for Mac beta now available: [link]

Unlike its Windows counterpart, GDesktop for Mac does NOT include gadgets or a toolbar - simply search. Once installed, hitting the Cmd key twice summons the GD as-you-type search box (like Ctrl, Ctrl on Windows) and all the normal Google Desktop advanced search operator trickery works, too. Plus GDesktop can include Gmail messages in your search results, which obviously Spotlight cannot. (In System Preferences, go to Google Desktop to configure your Gmail account.)

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

But why wouldn't you just use quicksilver? I mean, the only difference is not being able to search your google account, but if you download your mail to a client and your files are originals on your hard drive, there's not much reason to switch.
