Something's rotten in Denmark
Went to see The Two Gentlemen of Verona today. I guess it's been a long time since I've seen any Shakespeare, but I found it really funny. The performance was good, too. And so now I'm thinking about auditioning for our stake play (which will be in February).
My book is now officially "in" at the press. This morning I got an e-mail from the printer telling me what had gone wrong with it (I'd sent the images in RGB instead of CMYK, the trim was missing, one of the pages had a border around the text, etc.), so I fixed all that and it's done. Phew! It'll be $17. Not too bad. (It's 137 pages on 80# coated bond, 5x7".)
Here's an interesting tidbit I read on Tim Lauer:
Clean Language is a Greasemonkey script that filters out selected text from a web page before it loads in your browser. You can set it up to remove the offending words, or just replace the word with some other nonsense characters. The script comes with a preloaded list of offending words and can be edited to include any words you like. I've played around a bit with it and it works well. So if students were using the Firefox browser with this script loaded, then you would be able to filter offending words not only from Wikipedia sites, but any page that was visited when using Firefox. Am thinking I'll load this script on our next lab image.
I haven't installed it yet but I think I will soon.
