We watched the new Enterprise episode “Proving Ground” the other night, and I have to say it was quite enjoyable, entertaining, and definitely not boring. Our old friend Shran showed up (you know, the guy that used to be Weyoun) and got to do a little roleplaying on the bridge of his own ship. Shran obviously enjoyed pretending to be a goofy space prospector representing a fake mining company, and delivered the best line in the episode when he was sent packing by the Xindi ships: “The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from no one.” Heh. It seems the Enterprise has…

Validate WWW Pages Hi!!! Welcome to (no suggestions) NASA Rash Rasp! At least, that’s what the fine folks at Codeflux’s webpage validator thinks this blog should be called. (we interrupt this blog entry for a message from Ronco) “Oh, no! what’s that on your face? a birthmark? Acne? The heartbreak of psoriasis? But dermabrasion is so expensive! What to do?” “Now with the power of no suggestions NASA Rash Rasp! you can safely and inexpensively remove blemishes at the subdermal level and beyond!” “This space-based technology, used by NASA to rid space stations of unwanted biological pests, uses the power…

Hmm – bitter cold, dark, and icy. Seems like a good night to blow off choir practice. Why do I keep pissing and moaning about this? Oh, I don’t know… something about it just makes us all happy and contented (not to mention covered with a significant fraction of the beach). imgbrk Gosh, that was fun. If only Steve had stayed buried. We’d still be there. 😉 UPDATE 12/02/04: some slight upgrades. It’s only taken me a year to learn how do deal with images ‘n shit.

Cooks.com | Recipe | STIR FRY BEEF AND VEGETABLES Went home last night with the vague intention of stopping off at Dominick’s (acually, a former Byerly’s location) to pick up something for stir fry. There’s often solid entertainment value to be had at a large grocery store, but usually it’s to do with parents behaving badly, or head-on collisions between those toddler-friendly grocery carts tricked out to look like little cars. Nope, last night it was a woman in a mink coat and her controlling boyfriend – they were either the poster couple for adult ADD, or a pair of…

Hey, honey? David? I really want Firefly – The Complete Series”this. Just so I have it handy, here are the Television Without Pity recaps just to remind me of what it was about. Gorram Alliance Network suits. And I have to figure out the whole gorram wiki thing, too – if they get the links working later maybe. Will have to check this out much more later, too. Yawn

We woke up this morning to find that the faucet in the garage – the freshly repaired faucet with the nice cozy insulation and foam jacked tucked around it – had frozen again. Fortunately, no breaks or leaks. We decided to leave the heat on “normal” all day, leave the hall bath faucet dripping, and hope for the best. David got some tips on adding venting to the inside wall so the faucet gets warm air from the bathroom heat (and yes, I’m thinking the hall bath is going to be hella cold all winter, too. Aren’t you?). Was it…

Isn’t this beautiful? Hunkabutta: Tokyo photos, a stranger’s life in pictures I ran across it when browsing mediatinker’s helpful and attractive site. And also in the same search came across it again via the great Tokyo Shoes blog tutorial. I’m impressed by the design aesthetics of the pages and blown away by the gorgeous images. I spent two weeks in Japan, and no picture of mine comes close to these in quality. Man, I wish I could take pictures like these. And I hope I remembered right that “Utsukushii” means “beautiful.”

Well, I went to the MT movabletype.org : Support Forum rather a lot, reeely. And I went to a number of helpful webpages, like ***Dave and so on. And I got the most annoying thing fixed, which was the top line of the border enclosing the blog entries disappearing. But the solid line that appears under the topmost date always disappears on first loading, and reappears after a scrolling refresh. And you know what? That’s… okay. Just let it go, Louie, let it go. I added line-height yadda yadda according to Project Whiteguy, I went into the comments listing template…

There are just a few niggling little nits to pick (other than the horrible design) of this page, and the main one is that stupid bug that makes text disappear and reappear in IE6. I’ve tried various fixes noted at the MT forum and the Holly Hack is installed, along with a sprinkling of other suggested fixes. And the line under the topmost date still disappears when refreshed, then reappears if the page is scrolled down and back up. ARRRGGGGgggghhhhhh.

I knew there were other fellow parishioners out there: Contra Costa Times | 11/09/2003 | Worshipping at TiVo’s shrine A woman in the article mentions that she’d give up her hair dryer or maybe her cell phone before she’d give up TiVo. Hmm. I”d give up cordless phones or maaaaybe the microwave before I’d give up TiVo. No, wait – need popcorn sometimes. I’d give up cordless phones.
