Did Kristol ghostwrite Palin’s speech?:

The odds are against her pulling it off. But I wouldn’t bet against it.

That’s some shrewd betting strategy, betting on the outcome you yourself find least likely.

Comment spam LOLs

Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.

Keep up the good work.

I’m embarrassed to say this flattery worked, so I first read this as legit and puzzled why someone would suggest I turn No Follow off. But then the next comment was from the same address:

Finally someone who can write a good blog ! . This is the kind of information that is useful to those want to increase their SERP’s. I loved your post and will be telling others about it. Subscribing to your RSS feed now. Thanks

If obnoxiously long ring tones were socially acceptable, the opening of this episode of You Look Nice Today would be mine.

WinDirStat is neat

Brian Will — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 13:29:49 +0000

WinDirStat is a simple Windows program that displays the files and directories of a partition as rectangles proportional to their size, allowing you to quickly see what’s taking up the space. Among the good design decisions the authors made, the files are colored by file type and very helpfully shaded.

Of course, the program basically has to index your partition anew each time it starts, but I was pleased to find this process doesn’t take too long (~ 2 min. for a 200 GB drive).
