Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Mar 31, 2005 6:14pm PSTFinished making all our arrangements for E3 today! It's amazing what 'escorts' charge over those websites just for a little fun. But whadya gonna do? Oh and Netflix 1 day to deliver is rad. Ok take these:
- Find bugs for cash! - Another tall building - Tell the IRS you just didnt understand... and you're off the hook! - Animals laugh, especially at poop jokes - Your kids are doing ok, just fewer big macsLastly, $100 fine for charging kids for autographs! How will athletes support their kids spread across the country now? :(

My doggie turns 16 today! Going to take her to the groomer to get her shaved in a few hours. She's the main reason I was looking forward to coming home on this little vacation.
She's going deaf and she doesn't quite move like she used to, but she's still pretty playful and loves a good hug every now and then :')

Is there a free (or cheap) tool to extract pure ASCII text out of Office documents (at least .DOC, .XLS, .PPT) in order to implement a text search module?
We tried to find something to convert the DOCs to PDF first and then get the ASCII out of the PDF, as we believed there would be something free to convert ASCII into PDF.
I also had the idea to convert it into XML and go from there... does someone tools for that?

Argh, I've now got one of them fancy MS Natural Keyboards, and my fingers can't stay to their own halves! My left hand keeps wanting to hit H and Y (as it did just then), and my right hand keeps wanting to hit G and B... which of course are on the wrong (right?) sides.
ARghghghgh!!! However it is really quite comfy sitting like this.

G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.

At 12:00am on April 2, 2005 all player data will be erased in order to fix unreconcilable bugs within the World of Warcraft database. We thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation. We realize that this will be a heavy blow to many of our long-time customers and faithful players. We have deliberated over this for several weeks, and have come to the conclusion that this is the only course of action that can be taken.
Accordingly, all servers will be down for approximately 12-18 hours. We expect servers to go online and offline intermittently. Please do not try to log in during these times, as any characters that are created will be deleted as our system goes through the lengthy purging process. We expect that all servers will be online and ready for action by 12am on April 3, 2005.
To compensate for this admittedly time-consuming loss, we will be awarding all new characters with an enhanced experience gain rate which scales proportionately with the character's level. At level 1, a gain increase of roughly 1000% can be expected, at level 10 the gain percentage is 800%, at level 20 it is 600%, at 30 it is 400%, at 40 it is 200%, and at 50, experience gains return to their normal level.
Again, Blizzard apologizes for this unfortunate but necessary solution. It is neither our intent nor desire to drive away customers, however, in order to assure that we are able to offer a quality-driven, bug-free playing environment, it is necessary to endure this temporary setback. Blizzard would like to thank its valued customers for their understanding and support in these difficult times.
