QotD: Mixed Drink

Question: What's your favorite mixed drink? My Answer: One I invented, called a "Bloody Pussy." There's a story behind the name (condensed version: it was the sequel to Bloody Balls, duh!), but I've not really told anyone the recipe. I've not seen another recipe like it, either. Bloody Balls is just half lemonade, half cherry […]

Question: What do you make of this? My Answer: I am not allowed to say. 😉 But I am interested in what you may think… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Christmas Vacation

Question: How long do you get for Christmas vacation? My Answer: Carey gets about a week and a half. I will probably take a break lasting about as long… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: Stupid Programming

Question: Guess how long I stared at this before I found the problem? How long did it take you? My Answer: for($j=0; $j<count($dealers); $j++); { if($dealers[$j]['state'] == $state) $dealers_in_state[] = $dealers[$j]; } The answer (highlight to read): [Took me about 20 minutes. For some reason I had it stuck in my head that $dealers wasn't […]

QotD: Building

Question: How good are you at building physical creations? My Answer: Eh. Give me Legos and I'm pretty good. Not so much with other things of medium or complex difficulty. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: 9 to X and What Else

Question: Look back over the previous 9 to X QotDs: have I missed anything lost in the 9 to X transition? My Answer: I know of a few, but they border on being small things, like "the purely spatial Finder." Still, if you can think of something, I'll put up similar "9 to X" questions […]

QotD: 9 to X and Popup Folders

Question: Do you miss Mac OS 9's "popup folders"? Have you done anything to get them back? My Answer: I missed them originally because I often kept some commonly-used folders down there. Since customizing the Finder's sidebar, I don't miss them anymore… and I can have more than one of them open at once. You […]

QotD: 9 to X and Interface Sounds

Question: Do you miss Mac OS 9's "interface sounds"? Have you done anything to get them back? My Answer: Mac OS 9's sound effects when choosing menus, dragging windows, etc. may be one of my most missed features, in fact. I ran Xounds for awhile, but removed it when my software company began making bug […]

QotD: 9 to X and Windowshade

Question: Do you miss Mac OS 9's "windowshade" functionality? Have you done anything to get it back? My Answer: I miss it somewhat. I think that with Exposé (which I rarely use simply because I've never forced myself to get into the habit of using it), cmd-tab, and cmd-tilde, windowshading is something that was a […]

QotD: Thanksgiving Off

Question: Did you honestly think that I would go one day without a QotD? My Answer: I didn't, but then again, I'm me. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on your blog.

QotD: iSight Usage

Question: Do you own an iSight or a Webcam? How often do you use it? My Answer: Yes, and next to never. I bought an iSight for my parents as well but they never wanted to use it… You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments or on […]

QotD: Home Page

Question: From a pal, who will probably answer first, comes this: does the phrase "Home Page" as a euphemism for "web page" bother you? My Answer: Not really, but I think I've gotten over it. It used to bother me. What bothers me more now is when people attempt to describe, for example, The Sand […]

QotD: Finder Problems

Question: What is the most infuriating Finder problem (as of Mac OS X 10.4.3)? My Answer: This one is at the top of my list. Also included on that list is accidentally hitting cmd-F and then having to type something just to click the "X" in the search box to get back to my normal […]

Question: We've probably all got some software that's "above us" in terms of our skills - software we intended to learn but simply never have. What's yours? My Answer: Adobe Illustrator. I understand the concept, but I'm simply not an illustrator. That makes the times I do need to use it (like, for laying out […]

QotD: Birthday This Year

Question: What do you want for your next birthday? My Answer: Nothin'. Actually I'm looking to take an early trip to Myrtle Beach or something to play some golf, so the option and ability to do that would be nice. You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments […]
