Morning Discussion: New Year's Eve Edition
by Alice O'Connor, Dec 31, 2009 5:00am PSTToday is the day you can feel absolutely fantastic about the past year and be determined to continue that high into 2010. Alternatively, feel absolutely wrecked and broken by 2009 and make a resolution to somehow drag yourself out of the mire by your nails. I don't believe any other option is permitted, for some reason.
You'll probably drink alcohol tonight and deserve everything you get the next morning, so don't even think about complaining. Besides, it only serves to distract you from the real entertainment--arguing over whether today is the end of the decade or merely a decade.
The news desk is unpersoned today and tomorrow but we'll have a few little features to make up for our shameful absence. Have fun, Internet. We'll see you in the future!

Earlier this week I had an issue where all my fonts disappeared, I was left with just the system fonts. There's no help online for this, only things I found were people saying they reinstalled the OS to fix it.
I reinstalled my font manager, tried the trials of suitcase fusion, tried even just using OSXs built in FontBook. Nothing would install fonts. I couldn't even preview them. Obviously something, somewhere got corrupted.
So I pulled out my snow leopard disc, and rebooted with that and the Time Machine utility to restore the entire drive back to Dec 16th (my oldest full backup). After 3 hours, it rebooted and fonts are working! Now I opened Time Machine, and I'm restoring my home directory back to yesterdays version! so awesome!!
