In "Curious, George: HTML editor?"

Enthusiastic second for HTML-Kit. I was an Arachnophilia die-hard a couple years back, but HTML Kit turned that all around. For free, too. I'm pretty sure it has just about every feature you requested. Very customizable. Lots of standards stuff. Oh, and color-codes PHP. That in itself is priceless.

In "Curious George; What was the best concert you ever went to?"

Clem Snide, Bowery Ballroom, July (?) '03. Patrick Park opened. Amazing venue, quiet show, enough room to sit on the floor if you wanted. Beautiful.

Let me be the first to say: What an asshole.

In "Curious George: Batch Processes in Photoshop"

Ah, the subfolders are tricky. Sorry I missed that.

Now you're sure you don't have enough free space to just save for web and then cut/paste back over the originals? Even if you did it in 100mb chunks or something...

In "Dog finds significant other cheating"

Mercedes plug? You didn't have to spoil the whole story for us in the title, Korou.

In "The Hug That Never Ends"

This is so. bizarre. Nice find, though.

In "Screenshots."

This is an incredible link.

In "The Seven Percent Solution."

This guy just thinks every increased tempo voice sounds like Debbie Harry!

In "Maestro!"

Great post (I love theme posts). You're missing, though, of course, the recent three part saga. (Well, the first three of many parts yet to come).

In "Protest is now just a backdrop for a Diesel clothing ad in a slick fashion magazine"

I was thinking the same thing, CellarFloor. "My second choice would probably be Ralph Nader." What a bozo.

In "A shorter Passion."

A friend who saw The Passion called it "religious pornography." As for the cartoon, it's brilliant. The choreography is excellent.

This is extremely weird. I really really hate to be callous here, but did anyone else feel like slapping this girl and saying, "Duh?"

In "Photo Poems."

and you, Garcia Lorca, what were you doing down by the watermelons? Great link. This is a really neat idea (although the poetry feels fragmentary, whipped up on the spot for the photograph). I myself am both an avid photographer and poet and I definitely link the passions in my mind to a great extent. There have been several times I wrote a poem about and took a photo of the same event, and several poems that are stand-ins for photographs I didn't take -- but never photographs of the poems themselves!

In "Interesting and fun coincidences"

So two of my father's college buddies moved, unbeknowst to one another, to Patterson, NJ. After several years of unknowingly living just a scant few blocks from one another, they finally ran into eachother on the street -- while on vacation in Rome, Italy. That said, I agree with Sandspider. Sounds like Snopes fodder to me.

In "Curious George: Stopping site abuse?"

"blocks" in block scheduling are 90 minutes long. Stop posting access for anonymous people during that 90 minutes every day. This is actually a good idea and then I was considering implementing it after getting your suggestions, but there have been mini-waves of attacks before 8am and after 2:30pm as well -- they're managing to get to the library to spam the site before and after school as well! Curiously enough, they've never seemed to access from their homes... I would definitely advise disabling anonymous posting, unless you really like deleting spam and the like. I really would hate to do this. It's a poetry workshop site, and I think that anonymous posting is one of its hallmarks. Thanks for your other advice too, Sandspider. Well taken. these nice young people, why do they hate you so? No idea! Sometimes I've had disgruntled users spam the site, but this is definitely the worst attack yet and I can't find any evidence that the attackers had ever visited before they decided to run things to hell. Whatever you decide to do, don't let it stop you from keeping up the good work here. /buttkissing You must have me confused with tracicle. our moderator presence seems to be enough of a deterrence. You're right... IP bans are useless -- there are obviously a lot more free proxies out there than I ever imagined. You said it. I've been meaning to program a moderator interface and take on a few volunteers, but I code the site from scratch so I need to find a weekend or so to set aside to do this (same goes for e-mail verification). Thanks, all, for your generous help.

That dog reminds me of Catscan.com. What is it, mashed up against a sheet of glass?

In "The 16 Best-ever Freeware Utilities."

I avoided Mozilla like the plague mainly due to speed issues for the longest time (until FireFox just recently came out, in fact). On my WinXP PC, FireFox launches just as fast as IE and pages load just as fast if not quicker. I'd always had straight-up Mozilla on my computer, but hated it because it took forever to launch and the GUI sucked. Firefox, on the other hand, is a beaut.

In "Take the final exam for the University of Georgia course 'Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball'."

Talk about an annoying use of javascript, though. Ah, pandering to athletes. Sell your school for fun and profit. Academia at its finest.
