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

A keylogger perhaps? Have you checked his computer(s) for spyware?

I suggested to him that he install up-to-date antivirus software (he stopped paying for new Semantec antivirus updates about 1-2 years ago because the antivirus scans never found anything.) But yeah, so far he hasn't checked for that. And yesterday he had that strange problem with Windows Explorer not refreshing anymore....

Our wings are not tired

In 'holy crap that's really cool' news, this dude modded his Honda Civic del Sol into a replica of an x-wing. Dude. That makes my day.

This guy worked on the show I did for the Griffith Observatory. Really nice guy, and it is a really cool car, he drives it every day.

Coding and Sleeping

By following the links from the H-Wing I ended up at the bowling event.

That is hilarious.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

So basically define the image as a block and set the margins to auto in the CSS, and then apply the class to the image in the DIV?

Looks like. If that doesn't work as expected, CSS Discuss Wiki should have tricks and tips.

Thanks. I was almost sure I was missing something obvious, but that doesn't make me feel too stupid.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

For some reason my Firefox 2.0.01 in a fully patched windows XP doesn't show embedded youtube videos - no message about anything blocked, just white speace where the vidos should be.

this URL has white space below the text in FireFox, but has a youtube clip from Colbert I can click and play in explorer. I must have accidentally changed a configuration.

Weird addition: if I refresh URLs with embedded video, the video object shows up. But only on a refresh, not when the page is first laoded. In other words I have reload a page with embedded video, for the embedded video object to appear.

The car looks even geekier/cooler in person. It made me giggle for the rest of the day that I saw it.

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

Bah. Just did a quick experiment to see how the iPod treates a video if it can't play video--I'd really have liked my Nano to treat it just like a song file, otherwise what's the point? I'm not going to buy the Fatboy Slim video, no matter how much I like it, if I can't listen to the song on my non-video devices. I'm just buying the song. I'm certainly not buying them both.

I don't have the media around to check--anyone know if you can burn it to an audio CD just as the song track?
