The Mozilla String Guide: Interesting reading. 11:14:22 PM | reply [] Oh, in case you were wondering, this was the best character set reference I found; also check the unicode.org glossary it links to. 8:02:03 PM | reply [] After wondering one too many times what the difference between UTF-16 and UCS-2 are, I did a search on Google: "UTF-16 UCS-2 difference". The sponsored link was to www.1edisource.com. 1 EDI Source, Inc. - The One Source For All Of Your EDI Needs Wondering what on earth it had to do with my query, I clicked. The Web site did not contain anywhere, information on what on earth their software did (nor did it define EDI). Impressive. I guess it's one of those "if you don't know what it is, you don't need it" things, and I still don't know how it relates to Unicode encodings. 7:54:25 PM | reply [] Two ways to kill Classic I didn't know about, attributed to MacFixIt by MWJ: To kill Classic in Mac OS X, you can either press Command-Option-Escape and pick "Classic Environment" from the list, or press Command-Option-Shift-Q (be careful, there's no warning or confirmation) Ouch. The second one doeesn't sound too good, but the first is useful. I had always been using the Classic System Preference pane to do it. To my anonymous detractor, put your name on things if you expect a response. 3:36:19 PM | reply [] WebDAV tool 1.1d2 released. Public release should be coming soon, I don't think there are many issues remaining aside from more comprehensive documentation. 1:59:45 AM | reply []
