I hate to spoil anyone’s surprise, but in 2011, the Coulter Commission hearings in the Senate proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that 9/11 was the culmination of a Freemason conspiracy that began in Bavaria in the late 1700s.

Sen. Ann Coulter (D-Mass.) and her life partner, comedienne Ellen Degeneres, were found bound and stabbed to death in their Northampton, Mass. home, two weeks after the conclusion of the hearings.

Although I guess the great leap forward and the cultural revolution evens up the score.

Adobe Acrobat Reader 7 finally got faster instead of slower!

Even the linux client is better.

Okay, not really.

OK, two ways in the same batch file.

@echo off
set A="c:\documents and settings\temp"
echo First way stuffs the path into a for loop and spits it back out
for %%V in (%A%) do echo %%~sV

call :trans %A%
goto :end

:trans
echo Second way needs to use a call and pass the string as a parameter then spits it back out
echo %~s1

:end

Of course, if you can find a way to get your big path into an argument to your script, you just need the %~sN

The big kludge is that you can’t do those same freebie manipulations against arbitrary variables unless it’s evaluated in a for loop.

I trashed alot of the wordpress CSS formatting, there was some nonsense in there for IE that always made the text look ugly in Firefox. The text is now a little big in IE, but in general I think it looks better.
