    Yes, it’s wonderful you’re using this medium to read nebulous unverified eyewitness reports of something. McLuhan says have a cookie.

Ohio Catholic High School Fires Gay Teacher For Naming Partner In Mother’s Obituary

When her mother died in March, she included her partner’s name in her obituary, and apparently an anonymous parent thought that was sufficient reason to complain to the Diocese of Columbus. Hale told the Colmbus Dispatch that the school then fired her a week later.

Note to self: no baseball caps until Boston suspects are caught, because I’m pretty sure I have the same skin tone as the very fuzzy photos.

    “My name is Favor single girl. I seek for a trustworthy and honest partner.”

send her to me. I’m 43 and lowering my standards.

Am I right in thinking that a brute force attack on 1Password requires access to the hardware?

    Feel free to email if you have more questions. DC @ the company I work for.

That’s what I thought. Many thanks. Switching over a client, needed to answer their tech ?s. Will follow up as needed.

I follow you, feel free to d me your address so I have it on hand.

    What’s an average bedroom in Washington go for, rent-wise, these days? Meaning a share of an apartment. Anything under $1000?

Depends on proximity to Metro. Group housing usually avail in $800 range.

Somewhere, orgo and biochem are deep in their petri dishes, thinking about the one who left them.

    Really sunny on my balcony right now. I need a deck chair!

But it’s San Francisco, so I’m thinking deck chair with umbrella quick-release.

  • rik panganiban:
    more like a comforter when temperature drops 20 degrees.

  • Chris Breen:
    It saddens me to lose followers over NRA tweets. But looking on the bright side, it means more hillbillies have learned to read.

This may be generous. We all have text-to-speech these days.

  • Chris Breen:
    True, but it’s hard to power that technology with cow pies.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    Interesting email from outfit that is helping to crowdfund movie theater upgrades to digital. But they don’t provide enough background info.

I’d be surprised if any theaters have enough community support. Most of ones I know switched to profit/poor service long ago.

  • Jon Seff:
    iMovie, why can’t I hide you when you’re exporting a movie? And why do you beep at me when I try to move your window out of the way instead?

Guessing: hammers CPU so much that most folks will hate multitasking? Does Spaces work?

  • Jon Seff:
    Haven’t tried it in Spaces, but that’s a good idea. Still so much stupid about iMovie.

CERT warning re Boston Marathon scams

http://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2013/04/17/Scams-Exploiting-Boston-Marathon-Explosion

Malicious actors are exploiting the April 15 explosions at the Boston Marathon in attempts to collect money intended for charities and to spread malicious code. Fake websites and social networking accounts have been set up to take advantage of those interested in learning more details about the explosions or looking to contribute to fundraising efforts.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    My mother in law’s mouse stopped working. We put in a new mouse, plugged it into USB. It can scroll but not click. I’m baffled.

My guess, something is being interpreted as a permanent mousedown. Check internal USB in system report?

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    Not permanent mousedown: I can remote access and it works fine with mouse plugged in.

You can click through remote access, but not from the hardware? Check behind closet door for Rod Serling.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    I know, I know. Something died. I may actually need to reinstall the OS.

How about disconnecting the mouse, and using universal access to click with the keyboard?

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    Havne’t gotten to that point yet (I’m not on site)

Reinstalling the OS is for losers. It will be much more satisfying to take the next three days of your time to solve this problem.

  • Glenn Fleishman:
    It’s like Mac OS X lost the notion of clicking. Mouse pref pane has nothing weird. I even installed MSFT Mouse software for new mouse.

If it were me, I’d be firing up AppleScript and using system events to fire clicks.

  • Kevin van Haaren:
    keyboard maestro one of your function keys to a mouse click

I never use time-saving software when I can write an AppleScript in only six hours.
