“George Bush and Tony Blair inspired this song” says TotP. PSB + Little Britain, ummm… yes.

I’m gone away (to ISNA conference among other things) for a while.

I thought editing this site’s .htaccess file with my Mac would be no problem; I was so WRONG. Ahh…

The Mac reserves files starting with a dot as system files and therefore hidden. But there is no really good way to view hidden files with a Mac. You can either download new software, make an AppleScript or fool around with the files in Terminal. But no Show/Hide Hidden Files checkbox like Windows.

The solutions I found:

Invisible Files in Mac OS X
AppleScript to Show/Hide Files

I guess I should take this as a learning experience, but I was pretty freaked out for a while, when I kept getting “Internal Server Errors” when loading the site — nightmare! I don’t know why people like me who have such a low tolerance for computer annoyances are even allowed to work with them. :-P

[P.S. Computer, you know I love you.]

I don’t even know why I was watching “the Situation Room” with old Wolf, but I was and I caught this interesting event, faithfully preserved in the CNN transcript of the show:

WENDY HUTCHENS, FRIEND OF JOHN MARK KARR (on phone): Well he was a relative of mine’s friend. And I saw him at a few functions, family functions. And we started speaking after that. And I won his confidence and we became good friends after that.

BLITZER: All right, so then what happened after that? When did the e-mail, when did the talk of JonBenet Ramsey begin?

HUTCHENS: It started in around September of 2001 when he told me that he knew more about the JonBenet Ramsey case than what anybody else had known and that he was instructed to kill JonBenet by Howard Stern.

BLITZER: All right. Well, that sounds like we’ve just been Howard Sterned, as they say. So we’ll have to leave that alone. Wendy — not Wendy Hutchens, but clearly a crank phone call. Thanks very much, in any case.

Live TV is not usually so entertaining. UPDATE: Now there’s a video! Blitzer gets ‘Howard Sterned’!
