Typealyzer of ckstevenson

Typealyzer will give you a Myers-Briggs assessment of "you" via your blog. I am (evidently):

ISTP - The Mechanics

The independent and problem-solving type. They are especially attuned to the demands of the moment are masters of responding to challenges that arise spontaneously. They generally prefer to think things out for themselves and often avoid inter-personal conflicts.

The Mechanics enjoy working together with other independent and highly skilled people and often like seek fun and action both in their work and personal life. They enjoy adventure and risk such as in driving race cars or working as policemen and firefighters.

Giant's "Check It"

Here are two shots of Giant's "Check It" scanner.

First is the fun to hold and use device (if you've registered for wedding gifts you may have done something similar before).

The second is the semi helpful, semi annoying chirped coupon that comes up. I believe these merely to be what is on special already, not new/special coupons for using the device.

Checking out was easy, only make sure to not put your stuff in the bagging area or it isn't happy.

Why no "paste" in Opera's address bar?

Why make it harder for me to use your browser?

Speaking of that:
- why does Opera skip half way down a page when clicking on a "#<link>"?
- why can't I get FriendFeed to accept my username and password with Opera?

How do I get MSFT Word to be in blue/white mode but not Outlook?

Using MSFT Word in the blue background and white text mode is a good break for your eyes, it helps prevent fatigue. And since my wife thinks I've been squinting recently (which I'm not, maybe) I am trying to make sure to take small steps to help out my eyes (not sitting in a little cube staring at computer screens would help).

So how do I get Word to be in blue/white mode but not Outlook? When I changed the Options in either, it affected the other.
