10:25p | ISO-5589-1 or CP1252 - email encoding - вопрос о кодировке email Уважаемая публика! Зараннее прошу прощения, если мой вопрос противоречит правилам коммьюнити. Вопрос - какую лучше использовать email encoding (на сервере отправляющем имэйлы) для того, чтобы популярные немецкие почтовые клиенты, (такие как Web.de, Gmail (Google.de) , Yahoo! Mail (.de), GMX Mail , AIM/AOL Webmail (.de), Windows Live Mail (Hotmail) , Freenet Mail , Arcor Mail , T-Online Webmail etc) могли показывать Western European символы правильно... При этом есть только 2 опции : ISO-8859-1 или CP1252 Об UTF-8 речь не идёт... Надо выбрать или ISO-8859-1 или CP1252... Компютерные гики, если вы есть в этом сообществе (не может не быть), плз хелп! спасибо! | ||

12:37p | WTB time management skills. I haven't slept because I spent midnight until 7am working on a presentation. I did finish it, and it went well, I think. I barely finished a short writing assignment (half-assed, really) for second class, literally finished it at the end of the first class, luckily it's got a printer handy so I could get it printed out. Was at least 10 minutes late to that class though (*sigh*). Absolutely not even started on what I should have done for third class, which starts in an hour (and I'm in class until then). Need to resist being a baby about it and not skip class. But so tempting to go home and crash. Current Mood: brain-dead | ||

12:33p | bad to the bone
the "good" girl there is absolutely no reward OR point in being a “good” girl AND the mere characterization of a “good” anything, be it people or fucking seems to me to be quite sub-par and rather benign. an obedient child…or worse, a pet. yes, fluffy is a good dog. fuck that shit. a good lay is not a great lay. a pat on the head is not a hard and healthy smack on my ass. the “good” girl waits about for “mr. right” to call her back for a second date. the bad girl flirts with and then fucks his much wealthier father. Current Mood: remarkable | ||

11:18p | Open wide, here comes the medicine. House Republicans may be heading off a cliff in November, but give them credit for perseverance. Even after the new slogan they floated -- "The Change You Deserve" -- was discovered to be trademarked ad copy for the antidepressant drug Effexor, GOP leaders decided to go with the rollout anyway. For House Republicans, the diagnosis is obvious: They are suffering from Election Anxiety Disorder. (more) http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co | ||

2:01p | Sexism Fair warning, this is largely a rant post. So this whole democratic primary thing is coming slowly to an end. Throughout the whole thing, and especially as it's neared its end, there have been cries of "sexism" or "racism," depending on the candidate. I'm sure there's plenty that could be said about each, but I'm going to focus on the "sexism" claims for now. First off, I'm positive that there are people who are sexist assholes who won't vote for clinton simply because she's a woman. I'm equally sure that there are people who would never admit that the reason they voted against her was that she's a woman. I'm not trying to discount legitimate claims of sexism when I say... I'm getting tired of some of the stupider claims of sexism. Case in point: Several characterized as sexist calls for Clinton to step down before the primary season ends on June 3, even though official delegate counts have already put the nomination essentially out of her reach. "Why should she stop? Because as a female you're supposed to get out for the sake of unanimity?" Ok, W.T.F. People are saying she should stop because it's obvious that she's lost. (For the record, I don't care how long she stays in.) I've heard several claims like this, and I'm getting tired of the implication that people of my gender can't think beyond "OMG she's a woman!" in our criticisms. She ran an awful campaign, she'd be as polarizing as bush (or nearly so, at least), she's pulling the same BS "3:00am ad" type campaign crap that I loathed when bush did it, etc etc. Obama's far from perfect, but I didn't vote for him because he's a man. I voted for him because I think he's better than clinton, and I'm sure most of the people that voted for him weren't voting against a woman, but for a candidate. I think the notion of "victim complex" gets overplayed sometimes, but in this case I can't help but think that many of the people making spurious claims of sexism are just playing the victim card. Some frustration is understandable. I think we're overdue for a woman president, and for many women, especially older ones, I imagine that sentiment is much stronger. But the fact is that there are lots of legitimate reasons to want to keep HRC out of the white house, and for most people the fact that she's a woman is irrelevant. | ||

2:11p | gmail PSA If you're not a gmail user, you probably won't care about this. Otherwise: Gmail has been rolling out an update that improves interface speed. Fine and dandy, but perhaps some of you might experience what I did, which was a situation where I'd click on a message and get nothing but "Loading" as Firefox's process went to maximum CPU usage and, well, basically that's all. What worked for me: clear your cache (and possibly cookies.) I suspect that what's happening is cached old scripting is interacting with new scripting and/or server-side stuff... badly. Easy enough fix, worked great, new stuff really is pretty snappy. Tip of the hat to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} kynn for suggesting this in my time of need. I'm posting it here in the hopes it'll get indexed by Google for the next schlub who's trying to find help about it.Random | ||

11:29a | Growth food A farmer in Somerset has a giant bullock--six-foot-six at the shoulder, weighing in at something over a ton. Pictures here, along with this alarming detail about how he got so big: Despite his grand stature, Chilli only grazes on grass during the day and enjoys the occasional swede as a treat. There's good eatin' on a Swede. Lots of protein. Current Mood: alarmed | ||

11:25a | Trip Mountain View - LA - San Diego - Mountain View Дорогие друзья, А что обязательно нужно посмотреть в LA и San Diego, если есть выехать из долины в 6 вечера в четверг, а вернуться вечером в понедельник, при условии, что в LA и San Diego никогда не был. Насколько легко подселиться в какой-нибудь придорожный мотель, чтобы не бронировать все прямо сейчас. | ||

10:29a | Frabjous day! GAY MARRIAGE LEGALIZED IN CALIFORNIA. This is a fundamental right: everyone gets to decide how to form a family with the people they love. Equal protection demands that either everybody gets marriage, or nobody does, and either everybody gets to call their union "marriage," or nobody does - and the Court, quite rightly, rules in favor of Everybody. The order takes effect in 30 days. After that, marry away! This is all I'm gonna say - read the opinion and check the news. PDF of the decision here. Love makes a family! Current Mood: crying Current Music: Bronski Beat - Why | ||

| markdominus | 5:22p | Luminous band-aids Last night after bedtime Iris asked for a small band-aid for her knee. I went into the bathroom to get one, and unwrapped it in the dark. The band-aid itself is circular, about 1.5 cm in diameter. It is sealed between two pieces of paper, each about an inch square, that have been glued together along the four pairs of edges. There is a flap at one edge that you pull, and then you can peel the two glued-together pieces of paper apart to get the band-aid out. As I peeled apart the two pieces of paper in the dark, there was a thin luminous greenish line running along the inside of the wrapper at the place the papers were being pulled away from each other. The line moved downward following the topmost point of contact between the papers as I pulled the papers apart. It was clearly visible in the dark. I've never heard of anything like this; the closest I can think of is the thing about how wintergreen Life Savers glow in the dark when you crush them. My best guess is that it's a static discharge, but I don't know. I don't have pictures of the phenomenon itself, and I'm not likely to be able to get any. But the band-aids look like this:
Have any of my Gentle Readers seen anything like this before? A cursory Internet search has revealed nothing of value.
