No matter what I tried (deleteing folders, profiles, mozreg files, registry keys), running the Firefox (1.0PR) or Thunderbird (0.8) installers would always result in text that said it was trying to install Thunderbird 0.6 (which looks positively bizarre w/ the Firefox logo. Turns out it was a stale tmp folder in Local SettingsTemp.
Now that was a frickin annoying bug. (ns_temp is evil)

Amazingly, it all seems to run ok.
Most senior US military officers now believe the war on Iraq has turned into a disaster on an unprecedented scale
On November 9, 2001, when you could still choke on the dust in the air near Ground Zero, BBC Television received a call in London from a top-level US intelligence agent. He was not happy. Shortly after George W. Bush took office, he told us reluctantly, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the FBI, “were told to back off the Saudis.”
Hmm, so I Found Some Of Your Life made it to a /. story. The blog admin removed the post in the comments of that one post about the identity of one of the people in a picture (that I linked to earlier). That seems rather unsporting. Here’s the direct link of the photo of Lindsey (Herrel?) for posterity.
Heard Ben Lee’s cover of Float On on KCRW today. Not too shabby. For those of you w/o vinyl playing apparati, here’s an MP3.
The new idea: rip BIN/CUEs into incoming folder. Encode at night on cron (replaygain to HQ VBR MP3 and M4A) and zip up the image files in archive folder), rsync nightly.
You are unknown to me. Your camera’s memory card was in a taxi; I have it now. I am going to post one of your pictures each day. I will also narrate as if I were you. Maybe you will come here and reclaim this piece of your life.— Interestingly enough, this week, a web sleuth found the identity of one of the people in the pictures. Apparently, half the fun will be letting the “actors” find the site on their own.
After “Against All Odds,” the group’s next video will be for Give Up’s “Silhouettes,” which will be helmed by “Napoleon Dynamite” writer/director Jared Hess.
“He talks exactly like all the characters in the movie,” Gibbard said. “He’s like, ‘Dude, I’ve got a sweet concept for the video.’ “
Ooh, neat flash interface (mouse over the faces). Very clever. [via boris]
Who knew? Windows XP doesn’t Blue Screen very much because it automatically reboots on lockup. See Control Panel -> System > Advanced > Startup and Recovery for settin the options and C:WINDOWSMinidump for the timestamped dump files.
Metadata that could be extracted from emails:
There is more that could be gotten with address books (address books should also pool w/ feed aggregators, IM conversations
On the other end, email2kb tools are a good idea, especially for capturing project documentation and tracking ticket/task status.
