I’m writing this so I have something to link to, so I don’t have to keep answering the question over and over. Starting yesterday, I began to receive emails from various facebook friends, wherein they warned me that perhaps my fb account had been hacked. It seems my fb friends were getting invites for a [...]
Just about every time I want an AppleScript to wait a second or two during script execution, I instinctively insert a “sleep x” statement, where x is some small number of seconds. Every time, I’m surprised when I test the script and my computer promptly… goes to sleep. The command to use is delay, not [...]
GNU screen has been a key player in my workflow for a long time, and I’ve been putting up with a strange and very much undesired screen behavior for just about that long. I don’t fully understand the problem, but at least now I have a fix. The problem is that when in screen, some [...]

Nuked the calendar Moved 100 pixels of width from the right column to the left Added a ‘pre’ css element assertion Fixed a small problem with the title middle image (the edges aren’t quite dark enough green Fixed a spacing problem in the metadata [...]
