Thanks, lads. Those comments warm the cockles of my heart, after what has turned out to be a rather unpleasing day (due entirely to myself, as it turns out).

Lion: I've actually been using an RSS aggregator for awhile. A program for my Mac called "NetNewsWire". It's pretty nice. It's seems to be especially good for keeping track of new software versions that come out for programs that I have. (I seem to have turned off html in these comments. I'll have to look into that.) But thanks! I didn't know that Livejournal had RSS feeds. That's cool!

i: the coattails of the world are curling up like crazy, indeed! it's nice to know you still poke around here sometimes.
