Speaking of clicks and such, I absolutely loved Hayden's review of the Celebrity Apprentice linked in Press. I can't watch that show, for fear of my soul, but he's fallen on the grenade in a hugely entertaining way. Good on ya, mate.

Thanks! I was dreading the assignment, but the show is a trainwreck of amazing proportions. A Titanic of trainwrecks.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Question for the math-oriented folk: if someone says "decrease the size of this graphic by a factor of 2" what does mean, in terms of percentage of the original size? I just shrank it 80%, but I'm not sure that's right.

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

I'd think you'd cut the graphic to half-size.

Possibly they mean half the area, in which case you'd shrink it to 70.7% original size, but that doesn't sound right.

Thanks, tommy. At least it isn't some obvious thing I spaced on!

I shrank the dang things to half size and sent it back. If he doesn't like it, I'm sure he'll tell me...
