Boot Camp is a beta. Betas do not like me.

With a freshly downloaded and burnt DVD of Vista RC 1 in hand I set out this evening looking to dual boot my MacBook Pro for "testing" purposes. Upon backing up my entire hard drive, just in case, I was greeted with the following...
So, boot off of my OneTouch II, reformat my hard drive, restore my data, boot off of the MacBook Pro's hard drive and run Boot Camp again? I'm not itching to "test" Vista that much. Oh well...

Missing Wordpress Rich Text Editor in Firefox

I have for quite some time had this issue. The rich text editor in Wordpress went missing at some point (at least when using Firefox and Safari) and it's been bothering me like a popcorn kernel stuck behind one of my wisdom teeth. Solved. Both Firefox and Safari are using a userContent.css file to do a lot of ad blocking. I knew that the CSS file was the culprit and now I know exactly which line. The rich text editor returns if I comment out: 
/*
img[src*="/adv"],
*/
Easy. Check that. Safari doesn't like the rich text editor regardless of the CSS used. Oh well. YMMV.

IE 7 doesn't like me...

It seems that the latest version of Internet Explorer 7 (Beta) doesn't like the Wordpress theme I currently use.
After reading this and this I'm none too surprised. How a 50 billion dollar company can be blind to the extent that they seem to be is quite puzzling amazing.
UPDATE - 2006.08.24 - Well, RC1 didn't fix anything. Figures...

Five. Game. Sweep.

Some facts for your approval. One. Babe Ruth died on August 16, 1948. Two. On August 16, 2006 the New York Yankees broke ground for a new Yankee Stadium to replace "The House That Ruth Built." Three. On August 18, 2006, the Yankees went to Boston for a five game series against the Red Sox. On August 21, 2006, the Yankees left Boston after five consecutive victories against the Red Sox.

Coincidence? Let the conspiracy theories begin!

The Intel conversion is complete...

And the keynote stream has been dugg/slashdotted/whateveritscalled... I tried tuning in after seeing a link here and it was reasonable for about 2 minutes. Now, about 4 hours later, this:
I love how most of the rumors didn't actually turn out to be true. Having my 2 month old MacBook Pro getting revved to something with a Core2Duo in it would have been painful. And for the record, I use an automated backup on my G5 and I backup with SuperDuper! on the MBP manually, monthly. That said, I do like the idea of time travel...

The Matrix has you?


Is this the underground sewer system described in the Matrix. Or is it a section of tunnel in the PATH system. Or are they the same thing?

Weather so bad, both my legs hurt.

And I thought that "Red Spots" were reserved for the likes of gas giants. Of course, it's close to the middle of the night, so walking isn't an issue. Awesome!
