Must close browser before being sucked into Television Without Pity,
full of spoilers and discussion about every TV show on the air.

Whoa, the guy that runs Whedonesque also runs u2log?

So, I guess if I was worried that I wouldn’t hear “Electrical Storm” on
US radio, I shouldn’t have been. I turned on the radio this morning to
hear it, then (when it was finished) I switched stations … to hear it
again.

The BBC1 mix I mentioned is certainly
different from the US radio version (which is much heavier-sounding,
with mixed-down vocals and mixed-up Edge). [Update: Someone else is keeping track of the many
versions out there.]

Lifecycle of the North American Jaguar. Some tidbits I’ve
discovered already:

• The vim 6.0 executables I had didn’t work. Get vim 6.1 binaries for OSX,
  including gvim support. (Go ahead and ln -s
  /Applications/vim/Vim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim
  /usr/local/bin/vim for
  shell usage, too.)

• My Terminal seems to be really confused about multibyte fonts.
  Using my preferred setup (ProFont, 9pt.) any instance of l/
  (that’s ‘ell’, ‘slash’) will turn into a blank (or a doubly-wide blank
  if you have your settings slightly different). There’s also Monaco (did
  anyone else notice the “Monaco CY” font, which seems to be a “Monaco
  circa 1984”?) but it’s got weird spacing issues (and sometimes has
  problems with imagined multibyte situations as well). Lots of
  tweaking to find a font that will work.

Of course, the visual style has REALLY been cleaned up. The old style, which
was indeed extremely lickable, has metamorphosed into a cleaner,
crisper style that’s eminently more clickable. Let’s take a
look, shall we?

“Hey! Graffiti! Hey! MONKEY!”

Woo, entry 1000 came and went without a
hitch. However, entry 1001 failed silently. (Got it on one bounce.)
Also, my picture-viewer has been broken for weeks,
and nobody told me.
