I know some of you follow BSG, some don’t. And those that do/did may  
not be caught up on episodes, so just a comment about the last  
episode before the return in Jan 2009:

Another near-mouthdropping “did NOT see this coming” moment.

We were talking about that creepy trailer for The Strangers the other  
night and how some of us had no interest in seeing it. I wanted to  
see it, but with the likelihood of that approaching zero I broke down  
and read the Wiki page here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_strangers

Reading this will pretty ruin the mystery, so beware if you want to  
see it at some point.

This guy points out the folly of DDI’s proposed pricing, and I have to  
agree with him.

Guy has a serious hard-on for the game:

But what he likes so much about it seems to be what we’ve already  
found in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying… the simplicity.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Check this out:

“CCP’s latest major patch to the EVE-Online client, Trinity, comes with an optional DX9-enhanced graphics patch that dramatically improves the visual quality of the in-game graphics through remade models, textures, and HDR. It also has an unfortunate bug: the incredibly stupid choice of boot.ini as a game configuration file, coupled with an errant extra backslash in the installer configuration. The result is that anyone who installs the enhanced graphics patch overwrites the windows XP c:\boot.ini file with the  
EVE client configuration file, bricking the machine on the next boot. Discussion in a couple of forums threads is becoming understandably heated.”

Yikes!

Jeff Gilbert sent me this link to the 100 Worst Album Covers Ever…

Wow. Just… wow. =)

I got all the way to Alice Cooper’s “Zipper Catches Skin” and had to stop because I couldn’t keep my laughter quiet enough any more. =)

Ok, I guess I’m coming to the Firebug party a litte late (thanks David for passing this along ages ago… I never really followed-up on it ’til now). For those web developers not familiar with this great Firefox extension, run (don’t walk) over to getfirebug.com and get this thing installed. Among it’s other varied uses is a style inspector. This isn’t just your ordinary tag selector. The thing is incredible! It let’s you browse through a collapsable HTML tree, highlighting the divs, spans, and other elements you are hovering over in the tree. But not just that, it also shows you the CSS rules that are applying to (or being superceded by) the element. It even indicates the filename of the stylesheets in question and points out the line numbers for the reference. As if that wasn’t enough, it also lets you edit the page’s cached version of the source and style code for what-if-ing. It’s amazing!

Duh. =)

Now… what defines stable?

This is good news but doubt I’ll play. Will probably at least give it a spin.
