Deduping Messages in OS X Mail.app
3 May, 2004
Finally, after finding fragments of the necessary code hither and yon across the aether, I pieced together the steps necessary to kill duplicate messages in Mail.app.
PHP Handwringing
29 Apr, 2004
Look at Sun's own HelloWorld example in Java:
class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string.
}
}
That's why PHP is so popular.

Fandom

Although the series is not won, I'm actually going to go so far in my uncomfortable role of sports fan do a bit of bitching about the Habs' antics by way of linking to a nice article by Eric Wilbur, titled French whine.
Neither Clever Nor Amusing
1 Apr, 2004
It's not funny, and it's annoying as hell to have the entire Internet turn into one giant source of misinformation in the form of badly-written comedy for 24-48 hours.
What Would Jakob Nielsen Do?

You know you're doing well when changing your home page interface sends the entire Internet into paroxysms of interface nitpicking.
My Poor Mom
24 Mar, 2004
So, one user account on the computer whether it's Mom (which, 99% of the time, it is) or myself or one of my siblings checking email or doing a bit of surfing while visiting the homestead. That means that my poor Mom inherits the after effects of every single OS/software configuration tweak or application experimentally installed by one of us... document types that used to open in one application will suddenly open in a new, unfamiliar one, or not at all. Things behave just *slightly* different, and since nobody really documents what they changed when, it's hard to put everything back the way it was.
I hate Vi
23 Mar, 2004
It was true the first time I tried Vi when getting into Linux in late 2000, and it's still true almost four years later. Using Vi makes me want to hit something. Why can't I just move the cursor, enter some text, or delete a few characters just like I can with pretty much every other editor written in recent memory?
Radial Grid Pattern
15 Mar, 2004
Below is the pattern used in this card, showing the radial grid used to lay the piece out.
The fisheye lens effect would be further enhanced if the circles of the grid became progressively farther apart as they spread from the center, but I can't think of an easy way to accomplish this in Illustrator.
Radial Oblique Origamic Architecture
14 Mar, 2004
Building on yesterday's experiment with oblique origamic architecture, I tried using a grid whose vertical lines radiate from the same origin as the horizontal lines: (The Illustrator 10 "Polar Grid" tool is very handy for this)
