A quick huzzah to my TiBook. Her name is epiphany (or 'epi' for short). I just upgraded to OS X 10.1.5, and must reboot. According to 'uptime', my last reboot was 29 days ago, also occasioned by an OS upgrade. Not bad for a laptop, eh? Of course, my desktop W2K box has a similar uptime. And my Linux box has been up 70 days now. This is why I tend to stick anyone I see who says "I tried [Operating System], but it crashed all the time!" in the this-person-is-full-of-shit basket. (for modern values of [Operating System]). 3:53:11 PM

Davezilla: These are the Daves of our Lives. "Everyone knows a Dave or three. Daves are always dependable, competent, rather silly and the jack-of-all trades in most offices. Dave is always the guy who can fix the copier, jumpstart your engine or make that noisy dog calm down."  [Scripting News] When I started working for my current employer, the company had five Davids (including two of the three company directors). Which wouldn't be too surprising, except that there were only around ten people in the company. 2:44:15 PM

A link that might be useful to web-designers, from Mark Pilgrim: Adrian Roselli: A Simple Character Entity Chart. Both entity names and entity numbers are listed, along with the representation of the character (so you can test for compatibility by loading this page in your browser). 2:04:32 PM
