Are your ears ringing, or is it just me? There’s nothing quite like spending the morning on a cross-town field trip with a bus load of fourth and fifth graders to make you stand up and state your appreciation for your quiet home and a hot cup of coffee. On the bright side, the poor … More

Instead of grabbing onto the first dorky new acronym that Dave happens to mention on the Scripting News site, I have a much better one for you to perpetuate. DWAT. And just to make sure that it’s perfectly clear, it’s DWAT as in “disappear without a trace”, not this or this or this. DWAT. Could … More

Anybody out there remember one of these?Just in time for the aforementioned anniversary, I pulled on my hipwaders, grabbed the crowbar, traversed deep into the software catacombs, and managed to pinch out this pristine copy of the QuickTime Version 1.0 for Developers disc. Another shining example of modern day garbological skills put into practice. And … More
