Ever since I upgraded to Adobe CS2, I haven't been able to access my Thai fonts from within Adobe apps. I can still see them in TextEdit and Font Book and even Word, but Illustrator and InDesign (and probably Photoshop too) don't even show them in the font list. ...
Not that it's been very long, but all this work on Translating Scripture has got me missing programming in a big way. But it's okay, because the book will go to press this week and then it'll be time to write Penny Pincher and Beyond and finish reading all ...
I now get well over a hundred spam messages in my new account each and every day. What gives? It doesn't seem like anyone out there would actually buy whatever it is they're selling, but I guess there has to be some kind of return or else they ...

I'd hoped I wouldn't have to do this for a long time, but today I'm changing my e-mail address. See, two days ago I opened a message in Hotmail that was addressed both to my Hotmail account and my BYU account. The odd thing was, I never got ...
After hearing a lot about Shiira today, I decided to check it out. Before I started it I'd already kind of decided that I was going to stick with Camino, but I was surprised to find that it's very similar to Camino. (The main difference, I suppose, ...
