I have a script masquerading as an application that I call boot delay. I hacked it together in Real Basic so I can have PhotoStickies launch at startup. I've found that it's prone to crashing on my system if I try to load it immediately on boot. All the application does is give me a dialogue box asking if I want to launch PhotoStickies. I wait 'till everything else has loaded and then click to launch it. I think this is going to mutate into a launch pane of some sort. I'm getting kind of complex about what I want to launch at startup. Sometimes I want all sorts of bells & whistles to do their things, and sometimes I just want certain ones. Being the lazy bastard that I am I want to have to do as little as possible to get them going. I think a dialogue with a few choices at startup would do that just fine. Considering how remedial my programming is, this is going to end up being a lot of work to save some work.

Well, it looks like it's time for some sleep.

I enjoy reading Doc's thoughts. Unfortunately he spcifies black text and so I only get to see the links unless I manually highlight everything when I'm reading his stuff in Radio's news section. I can fix this when posting it, but it's a small pain.

Time to do some thinking about this color scheme thing.

Cringely says he's using a passive repeater (two antennas, one receiving, the other transmitting, connected together) to bank a Wi-Fi signal over a mountaintop.

Rob Flickinger, who knows something about the subject, doesn't buy it.

I don't either. We're dealing with waay too much attenuation between points A and C, not to mention the problems of passive signal repeating at point B.

But... I'd like to know more.

I've always been a fan of light text on a dark backgraound, and this is the only theme available that does that without tweaking. I should probably learn theme tweaking as I'd like to whip up something more, uh, me...
