Been a mixed day. Picked up one of the adult kids of ours, (one of 8), @ the airport. Then on the way home while taking stuff out of the trunk, I dropped the phone on the garage floor and cracked the face plate so you can't read any of the displays. The phone works and you can't use the phone book features or any of the other features as you can't read anything. Well, maybe back looking for another cell service. Can you say T68i and GSM service with bluetooth and all the other features. 9:45:54 PM    comment []

A great night to be out in downtown. Light big fluffy wet snow flakes coming down. Ok so it will be a mess in a few hours, but now it's great. They are also starting to put up the lights on the 16th Street Mall for the holidays. 9:40:19 PM    comment []

Now it's even more foggy than earlier this a.m., with visibility down to 1/2 mile or so. 9:57:58 AM    comment []

Determining Element Page Coordinates, Pt 3. When it comes to getting the x/y position of in-page elements, Internet Explorer isn't the only browser with pixel problems. We continue our quest to create the perfect cross-browser DHTML element locator by ironing out some Gecko-based wrinkles. By Peter Belesis. 1101 [WebReference News] 9:23:42 AM    comment []

MS Office for OS X weirdness. Ok so we're still using the 30 day trial and it's working well. A couple of annoyances though. First, when I'm in IE. 5.2 and want to send a link,(using Entourage of course) the interface isn't very smooth. I get garbled Subject lines in some, and in some, the sig line is dropped and I've got to put it in manually. Also, if I don't have Enourage running, and want to send a link, Entourage will launch, and then just sit there as if to ask, "now what?" 9:19:02 AM    comment []
