It's still impractical to sync iCal and an Exchange calendar. Really?—@ndw
Wednesday at 10:49am
With multiple iCal calendars? Or all appts that sync to Entourage in one calendar?—@ndw
Wednesday at 11:11am
Option key+Virtual Machine menu gives *a different menu*. Bleh. Show me all my $#@?%
choices, please. Don't make me search for 10 minutes...—@ndw

My headless server box is now refusing connections on port 22. I wonder what's gone
wrong? I wonder how I can find out?—@ndw
Thursday at 07:55am
Turn it off, unplug it, drag it into my office, hook up a monitor, restart it, and...fsck

Trying to figure out why my refactored p:http-request step borks the base64 encoding
half way through an image. Ugh.—@ndw
Sunday at 01:47pm
Buffer size wasn't a multiple of 3, 4, and 75, perhaps?—@ndw
Sunday at 02:07pm
Is reading a multipart response really this hard? The encoding changes on a per-part
basis; you have to do all the decoding by hand? Blech.—@ndw

@feliciaday It's been years (er, decades?) since I played. Kick ass, Felicia!—@ndw
