Printliminator tidies up web pages for printing

Over at CSS Tricks, they've published Printliminator, which enables you to tidy up messy web pages before you print them. There's a video there that explains it all.

QuickLook plugins for web development

Awesome QuickLook plugins that are free. QuickLook shows previews in MacOS X Leopard. These plugins extend its capabilities. As a web developer, I find these quite useful. To install them, put the *.qlgenerator files in ~/Library/QuickLook (which folder you might have to create).

Recipe for al-moulik sauce

I don't know if that's the right spelling. When the old Italian ladies spoke of it, it sounded like "all moo leak". garlic olive oil (extra virgin if you have it) breadcrumbs (plain) paprika cayenne pepper (optional) You have to eyeball the quantities; I don't have a scientific recipe. Chop the garlic fine, but not too fine -- you don't want it to brown or it will be bitter. Heat the olive oil on medium heat (olive oil smokes at a fairly low temperature). Sauté the garlic in the oil until it starts to turn translucent (cooked all the way through); don't let it get brown. Add enough breadcrumbs to make the oil not runny (you want it to coat the spaghetti and not run off of it). Add paprika to turn it red and to taste. Optionally add same cayenne if you want it spicy. Use it to coat spaghetti, collard spaghetti, or steamed spinach.

SSA: Day 9

10 days ago, I called the Social Security Administration because the statement they sent me had wrong earnings for the past 2 years. That was SSA: Day 1.

Yesterday, SSA: Day 9, I received by snail mail the form the sent me. To get a copy of my statement. Not to correct it. To get it. The thing I already have. The wrong thing.

I'm votin'

Like Wil Wheaton, I don't expect my voice to count for much, but here's how I'm a-gonna vote in the California Democratic primary (along with statewide/local stuffs):

• President: Barack Obama. He's appealing to unity. Bill & Hillary are using Nixon's southern strategy to divide us.
• State propositions: NO on all of them.
• SF A: Yes. Parks need maintenance & repair
• SF B: Yes, reluctantly. The police are understaffed, but this is a hell of a way to keep staffed.
• SF C: No. Come back when you're not on drugs. This is your law. This is your law on drugs. No thanks.
