HOWTO make chocolate speed. David Pescovitz: DillDoe has a neat recipe for making highly-caffeinated chocolate treats. The only ingredients are semi-sweet chocolate and coffee beans. From the HOWTO: The chocolate does a great job in masking/integrating the coffee taste. It kinda taste like crunchy Oreo cookies crumbs covered in chocolate. The first batch I made (about 9 pieces) I ate while watching TV cause it tasted so good I couldn't stop eating it. Big mistake cause it kept me up almost all night. So if you need to pull an all nighter than go ahead and pig out! Link (via MAKE: Blog) [Boing Boing] comment []  trackback []  6:04:01 PM

Never use Adobe technical support. They are terrible. I was asking a simple question about deploying Acrobat to several machines in my labs (CSLA is a large customer) and the answer from Chris (206-675-6304) was "There are no deployment options for Mac." Okay, so how can you help me today? Chris, "I'm sorry but there are no options. The only thing you can do is write a script or something, but I'm not sure you know how to do that" Ooh that ticked me off because the premise of my question was NO USER INTERACTION and a script to type in the serial WOULD POP UP! i would migrate away from Acrobat if I had the opportunity. What are we paying for? EDIT: I used Composer 3 to catch the changed files of an Acrobat install and successfully deployed the package. (^o^) comment []  trackback []  11:24:57 AM
