Buffistas

We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

Google Wave update:

I got a few more invite slots, and added Jensen, Vortex, Theodosia, and Stephanie to the invite list. (Jess, I skipped over you because you're already in there, you sneaky thing.) As usual, they don't send out invites right away; the last batch took a week or so to go out. If you're already in and you get an invite, I'm pretty sure you can pass it along to someone else.

(And if you're already waving, feel free to add me -- sabreuse at googlewave dot com. My contact list is depressingly coworker-heavy atm.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Is there a way to create drop-down menus in Google spreadsheets?

I can see the "add form" button, but that doesn't seem to be exactly what I want to do. (Basically I want to create a spreadsheet that will allow my babysitting coop to track points without paying babysitterexchange.com.)

[eta: Actually, it looks like I can do this with forms. I'll just have to build a little website to host it.]

Thank you, sweetie! I'll watch my mail like a Google-Wave-interested hawk!

All is well that ends in pizza.

I will watch my email like another member of the raptor family.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'm generating a string in PHP on a linux server that will be sent out as the body of an email. For carriage returns within the string, should I use [backslash]n or [backslash]r[backslash]n ?

(edited 'cause backslashes are being stripped out.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It should be \\r\\n.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Thanks, Tom. Could you explain what the practical difference is?

Most textual Internet protocols (including HTTP, SMTP, FTP, IRC and many others) mandate the use of ASCII CR+LF (0x0D 0x0A) on the protocol level, but recommend that tolerant applications recognize lone LF as well. In practice, there are many applications that erroneously use the C newline character '\\n' instead (see section Newline in programming languages below). This leads to problems when trying to communicate with systems adhering to a stricter interpretation of the standards; one such system is the qmail MTA that actively refuses to accept messages from systems that send bare LF instead of the required CR+LF.[1]
