Travel

In a few hours I’m going to be getting on an airplane with Julie that will fly to Chicago. I do not enjoy flying as it comes with this intense fear of falling to my death. It wasn’t always like that for me. I think getting to spend the weekend with Julie and her friends in Chicago will help make up for the nightmare that is flying. I’ll be flying back alone on Sunday night.

Unload events in Safari

Apparently unload events have a hard time firing in Safari unless you use the one method that none of the other browser’s fully support, addEventListener(). I wrote a blog entry about how to get Safari, Mozilla/Firefox and Internet Explorer to work with unload events in our work blog.

Dr. Internet to the rescue

I’ve found something that greatly eases the burning and itching that appears after I’m exposed to sunlight. When I was a kid they called it Hutchinson’s Summer Prurigo but the common name now is Actinic Prurigo. Thank you Internet for coughing up an abstract on treatment of actinic prurigo in Chimila indians. I didn’t have access to Thalidomide but vitamin E was easy enough.

I figured if 100 IU of vitamin E a day worked for them I would take 1000 IU. It has shortened healing time from a week to about 24 hours. I’ve been taking them for a few weeks now and even carelessly stood in the sun to see what would happen, with only minor after effects.

FEED returning soon?

FEED: returning soon. It appears that my favorite web based magazine is “returning soon” after going on ice in 2000. Hopefully Steven Johnson, a former editor, will comment on his blog.

Tiger is SMARTer

Apple’s been a bit behind the curve on adding IDE S.M.A.R.T. status information where the user can see it.
