Hmm... a slight modification of Bitstream Vera Mono. Definitely not an
improvement on Consolas, but Vera Mono is certainly decent enough. Were
you a Monaco slave before?

Yes, they went a little crazy with the shears at the groomers.

I'm liking this, but when I post a capital-L Link to Tumblr, I really wish the tweet would include this link instead of, or in addition to, a link to the post. Seems annoying to have people click on my tweet and then have to click on my post to see the link.

It was outside Landsdowne subway station in Toronto.

I'd be happy to share the love if I had TextMate. The file is plain text though, so it should be pretty easy to adapt.

She got an around-the-eyes trim soon after this shot courtesy of her aunt Alison. :)

Huh? Not sure what you're referring to.

It was a very late birthday present from the wife. :)

Anti-aliasing is better in Firefox 3, but I never noticed the
background problem.

The weirdest thing is how it's almost but not *quite* 2^32.

No beer was harmed in the making of this product. Tasty, though!

I did debate about that, but accuracy won over pedantry. :)

Re: Is a music “tax” paid to ISPs the answer?

attaboy — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 08:09:22 -0000

Of course, Canadians already pay for the CBC through their income taxes regardless of whether they watch or listen to it, so it's not like this is unprecedented. The difference is that the CBC is a crown-corporation, so we're subsidizing salaries of performers and producers, not a for-profit business entity.

If the ISP tax was distributed directly to artists, then I might actually be in favour, but since we know it will go to the record labels instead, the whole idea is ridiculous.

(Almost as ridiculous as a tax on blank recording media.)

It's true. The widget often lies. I find the BBC report pretty unreliable though.

I think that would be totally appropriate.

I agree. But I'm saying they should be demanding that Scrabulous pay a license or share their revenues, not demanding that it be shut down.

Attaboy, my point is that doing so would be totally fair, and legal,
and right -- and dumb. I'm not saying they don't have the legal right
to do it, because clearly they do. It's still a stupid way to
proceed, IMHO.

I have to admit that this is one instance where I have some sympathy for Mr. Big Evil Corporation.

It may very well be true that Scrabulous has led to higher sales of Scrabble, but on the other hand, Scrabulous and Facebook are profiting immensely through the sale of advertising on Scrabulous pages, and let's face it, it *is* a complete clone of the real Scrabble game which is copyright. I don't think that can be considered fair use.

Hasbro/Mattel deserve a cut of those revenues, and if it takes legal papers to get it, then I think that's fair.
