Jane Espenson just mentioned Zhura on her blog, some kind of web-based alternative to Final Draft.
Thanks, -t.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Macs don't come with something on to extract sit and hqx files? For some reason it feels kind of sudden that I can't get in.
Hmm. They used to come with stuffit expander, too.
I've lost track because I have a copy of Stuffit which I earned as a perk at a former employer.

Random question: in the past....few days? week? Firefox (on my Mac) has been freezing up and making me forcequit a lot. At least once or twice a day. It never used to do that.
Suggestions for basic maintenance tasks that might assist? Or comments that this is common at hte moment, or somesuch?

Maybe upgrade to firefox3, beta 4...

Hey. New board.
I wouldn't recommend that. Beta 4 crashes on me 4-5 times a day. I use it anyway, but it's definitely not ready for prime time.

Huh. I have not had one crash with beta 4.

I wonder if you have some conflicting add-ons installed?

Hey. New board.
Only add-on I've got is Adblock Plus.

I think you should reinstall Firefox.

Answer to the following questions will be used in a Gristmill column. Anyone who answers will be credited or not as they wish.
If someone was going to create a low end, really cheap dedicated e-reader, stripping out all the features that were not need, what would you insist on retaining in order for you to want it? Assume screen resolution comparable to print, and a decent screen refresh rate. What else would it have to have? What is the maximum size you would tolerate? Would it be OK if it unfolded to a larger size? What would the maximum weight be? What formats would it have to be able to read?
Do you insist on an e-reader being able to do something else? Be incorporated into a laptop, or have at least the computer capability of high end cells phones (camera, music, limited email and browsing?) Or do you carry books around often enough that a dedicated e-reader that only reads books can fit into your life - if the price was low enough, and e-reader performance were sufficient?
