Mal ,'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Skipping with matzah-crumbs all over the place to post that, according to Jilli VoiceOfReason "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Apr 13, 2005 11:03:27 pm PDT today is Lillian's birthday!
Happy birthday, you big lovely girl! With lots of wishes for your mom and all your family, as well.
Sometimes when there's a coin toss between malice and stupidity it can be a very hard call. They need either better PR or software release processes.
Better testing, for sure.
Businesses never do stupid things, of course.
Businesses often do stupid things, but this isn't the style of stupid thing Amazon typically does with intent.
From my experience working in software, I can easily buy it was unintentional. But I agree with the better testing. Seems like you could have an automated way to determine if huge blocks of stuff suddenly get excluded in an unexpected way.
Lillian? Again? Already? Next thing you know, she'll be growing up or some such thing. She's a BABY.
3/5 of the way through the televised Little Dorrit--is it normal to want the entire Dorrit family dead?
I have a sudden strong craving for Cook's Illustrated's apple pie. And...it's gone. Huh.
Yep. In half an hour, our time, she becomes officially four.

I'm not sure HOW she became four.
Still the world's most beautiful fat lemur.
Happy birthday, Lillian!
(I love that name).
Edit: oh, yeah, I also skipped about 600 posts.
ita, either your lofotenmoose link is seriously broke or I don't have a browser that can run it. It gives me a forbidden page in IE, even.
In fact, I was up late wrestling with CSS myself, like I was trying to round Cape Horn, with a similar amount of determination. I found a site called MaxDesign that shows off Listutorials, a Floatutorial, and a general purpose Selectutorial that were very helpful.
I just want to be able to make my own page for Zengarden, because if I can do that, I think I can claim to be a whiz at CSS stylin'.
Hippo Birdies, Lillian!
Happy Birthday, Lillian! My goodness, look at that glorious hair--
And I'm certainly willing to accept that there was a [really freakin' big mistake] somewhere in Amazon, but what really bugs me is the email sent to the author stating their practice of screening for adult material.
I mean, yes, the PR bunnies definitely need to work overtime on this Easter Monday.
Interesting perspective from Ron Hogan, senior editor at GalleyCat. He was amazon's gay and lesbian studies editor in the late 90s.
