    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.

    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.

3rd law of hotels: no matter how many towels, and how few of you, there’s always you dripping in the shower, all the towels in the bedroom.

    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.

  • Greg Minton:
    Is someone at CNN actively trying to destroy the network’s last remaining shreds of credibility?

They’ve long since done that, and oddly, people keep watching. Not many people, but still.

  • Philip Michaels:
    To be fair to CNN, if you report every possible iteration of a news story, something you say is bound to be accurate.

Adopting the many worlds interpretation as a promotion for the next staging of Copenhagen.

  • Andy Carvin:
    And no, I don’t know if an arrest has been made. Just trying to capture the confusion of it all. Hope it gets sorted out soon.

Twitter reporting that BPD had made arrest, heard over police scanner. NOT the CNN report, this came later.

  • Jacqui Cheng:
    You know you’ve hit a new low when spreading some Hellman’s on slices of bologna is lunch.

at least until you run out of mayo.

  • CC:Indecision:
    The Man of Steel trailer is a good reminder that Superman had two dads and he turned out great.

Apparently, my Twitter feed skews towards Britons who are mourning the fact that Margaret Thatcher didn’t die sooner.
