I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Water was spilled on they keyboard of Andi's 17 inch powerbook last weekend. I took out the battery and inverted it overnight.

It all depends on the liquid that needs to drain and how moist your room air is as to how fast it can evaporate.

Stop trying it for now, let it dry more without the battery, then the pros.

Hey. New board.

Okay, DCJ. That sounds sensible.

I didn't realize NetFlix streamed to Mac's. I thought it was PC only, and selected devices (Rokr, Xbox, etc). Since the Xbox is down, I'm streaming on my Mac. Woot!

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

Mac streaming just started in December (ON MY BIRTHDAY. YOU MAY ALL THANK ME AS YOU SHARE MY MOST AWESOME BIRTHDAY PRESENT!) w00t indeed!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I'm into Season 3 of The Office thanks to Netflix streaming. Between that and Hulu...

so why do I waste the stream watching "The Lost Boys 2: The Tribe"? Cory's raspy voice makes me laugh every time I hear it. Can't tell if it's because of too much drugs, or just trying to sound manly.

move out and draw fire

OK, not really a tech question, but does anyone know what the default font for Facebook is? I'm trying to mock up a couple fake facebook pages.

Raq, I took a look at Facebook and the short answer is "it depends". They have about 14 stylesheets on their page and the only font-family property I found in them was:

'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif

Which means the site will use the first one of those it finds on your computer, in order, left to right. On my computer, it looks like arial to me, but they're all pretty similar.

Hope that helps.
