Sarah wanted to be able to resize all the images she wants in a single click. I started writing a bash+imagemagick solution and ran into an EXIF-borking bug/problem.
I stopped writing the script, and installed Phatch on her Ubuntu 8.04 machine. Nice interface, super easy to use and most importantly, gets the job done. Kudos.
When working on my map of US Military Activities, I quickly discovered a common theme. The map can be misunderstood if the context is not there. As a result, I really need to create a corresponding map of Soviet military activities. So much of what occurred was not random, but rather a response to what "the other side" was doing. Of course, without economic, political, intelligence and a host of other activities, we still are limiting our information, but the maps will provide a reasonable starting point.
It's also worth noting that as I'm researching this information, my perspective on the cold war is not only broadening, but changing. It appears that, to a large extent, we're using Cold War strategies to approach the problems we face in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the threat model has changed so significantly that these strategies no longer apply.
I suppose it goes without saying that the Bush administration strategy doesn't particularly fare well in the book :/

Anyone else having the same problem???
Holy fucking crap.
Some two hours later the leasing company came and replaced the accumulator of that car, because, apparently, it chose to die.
What's in for me tomorrow?
I got Firefox 3 on Download Day and I haven't had any problems with it until recently.
I'm finding I'm having to "encourage" FF to go to webpages alot of the time. Clicking a link or typing a URL doesn't seem to be enough sometimes. I have to click on the url again and press "enter" again. Or sometimes I have to refresh just to get it to load for the first time. Like I'm reminding it what I only just asked it to do a moment ago.
I also started getting this message whenever I try to get into my Hotmail account:
"Upgrade your web browser
We recommend that you upgrade your web browser so you can get the most out of Windows Live Hotmail. Upgrading should only take a few minutes. To get started, choose one of the browsers below:
* Microsoft Internet Explorer
* Mozilla Firefox
* Apple Safari
If you don’t want to upgrade right now you can still continue to Windows Live Hotmail, but some parts of it may not work and it may not be displayed properly."
I don't get this at all because obviously I have upgraded my browser and I didn't have any problems to start with.
I wondered if I was the only one, or if anyone had this problem, but managed to fix it? ^^;
Thanks for reading.

Please anyone help me with comparing browsers'
cache efficiency.
We're working on a web product, which heavily uses cache subsystem
of a browser. I need to access the situation, and understand the impact
we may have on our application performance in different browsers.
Our application works a lot with HTML and CSS files, thus the efficiency and
the files operations mechanisms are critical - the better they work the better our
application will work.
Thanks a lot.
P.S Sorry for a little cross-posting.

OUCH
Then when I stepped outside of our building, I saw another gentleman frantically dialing his mobile and practically shouting into it "I just saw Jeremy Clarkson!"
Um, who?
Seems Mssr. Clarkson is one of the presenters of the wildly popular Top Gear television show.
I'm so ignorant of TV that a few days ago I was introduced to a lady who presents news on some BBC station. Can't recall her name or her face. I'm oblivious.
And just for you, I'm including a video of him. Why? Because he's driving a car in two of the buildings I'm in almost every day. I thought you might be curious about where I work. And yes, I do mean he's driving a car in those buildings.
(Side note to Aristotle: nope, this sound synchs perfectly, unlike the video I uploaded. I don't know that it's a problem on my end, but I could be mistaken)

Estonians just love the fact that they have trouble telling the difference between 'b' and 'p'. The best known example is the word "pank", which originally means "cliff" in Estonian, but also is as a loan word meaning "bank". The 100 crown banknote has an intentional pun on its back side - it says "Eesti Pank", which can be understood as "the Bank of Estonia", as well as "an Estonian cliff".

I cannot conduct my life in a normal fashion. Poof! I disappear, poof! I reappear. And regrettably, not always in the same place. *disappears* *reappears* Have you seen it? Now I'm gonna show you a few episodes from my life, so you can see where it leads.

toxic_hedgehog for pointing me to this.STAYCATION, n.
A period of time in which an individual or family relaxes at home, or takes day trips from their home to area attractions. Staycations have achieved high popularity in hard economic times in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high.

Don't you just love people who write:

?
Someone told them that macros are sensitive to operator precedence errors, so they're not taking any chances.
