I actually managed to catch the last few innings of this one. Steve Finley’s a Giant now apparently, and he tried to make it interesting (in between Fox replays of his grand slam that won the division for the Dodgers against the Giants). Grady Little was ready, though, and substituted Jason Repko into center in the 9th, and Repko caught up to Finley’s hard, deep hit to turn it into an wall-smacking out.
NOW the console got in. Got that taken care of when, after hours of fruitless debugging of my NSPipe-related code, I realized that it was some third party code *cough*RMUDAnsiTextView*cough* that was the source of all the evils.
So, I took out RMUDAnsiTextView and its dependency AGRegex, wrote my own smaller and BETTER code to convert ANSI color coded strings into NSAttributedStrings, and it’s all set.
The Braves reject mainstream Christianity, so mainstream Christians should probably reject them. Says the AP:
Focus on the Family, a group founded by James Dobson, was barred from participating in Sunday’s post-game activities after sponsoring first such event at Turner Field last month.
The team wouldn’t provide a reason for its decision, several gay rights groups on the Web bristled with speculation that Focus on the Family was given the boot for promoting its belief that homosexuality is a social problem comparable to alcoholism, gambling or depression.
The Braves chose sides, and now I hope they have to live with the consequences of that choice by taking in less revenue.
P.S. You can just tell how much the AP loves the side the Braves have chosen. Do you think the headline would be “Yer Out!” if the Braves had kicked out a radical homosexual activist group from an event?
Who could have expected it? Since the All-Star break, the Dodgers lost 13 of 14, then won 13 of 14. They started this stretch in second place, and have ended it in first place by a game and a half.
It helps when Jeff Kent gets the best of his old sparring partner in San Francisco by out-homering Barry Bonds 1-0, doesn’t it?
I hate onions, or at least their texture. And there’s nothing worse than biting into something and hitting an onion by surprise… Ugh.
The Dodgers are alone in first place, and Greg Maddux has a lot to do with it.
When I think about it, him coming to the Ravine is a lot like Karl Malone arrival with the Lakers. Maddux was hitting his peak with the Braves right around when I started really getting into baseball (and in those days, the Braves and Dodgers were both in the NL West). Likewise, Karl Malone’s Jazz would knock out the Lakers every year right around when I started watching basketball seriously.
Let’s hope nobody ELSE gets hurt this year. The injuries to the Dodger pitching have been so bad, that nobody in the bullpen at the start of the season is there now.
We miss you Eric Gagné, but at this rate we’ll get to go on without you to October.
I am so sick of Americans being so ashamed of their country that they refer to the act of showing support for and happiness with one’s country as “being an ugly American.”
We’re a wealthy country. We’re a free country. We’re a well-fed country. We’re a safe country. We’re a strong country. All of these things are good, and it’s said when anyone feels the need to avoid talking about it or, worse, apologize for it. If others are envious and wish to pervert what’s great about this country into criticisms, that’s their problem, not ours.
It’s times like this I wish that international sports bodies weren’t so riddled with corruption and anti-Americanism, so that I’d have an interest in watching our athletes dominate.
I still haven’t gotten around to buying Ultimate Doom or Final Doom. So, at the prodding of Florian, I’ve started trying certain notorious community projects…
Hell Revealed: I tried this one first. At first it seemed nice; there are some interesting early levels. However ultimately it’s a bit silly in the overuse of things: monsters, switches, lifts, etc. Hell Revealed 2 goes even more overboard, though it was made by different people.
Memento Mori: Trying this one now. So far I’m impressed, especially with certain parts that deliberately echo id levels (such as the secret in Interlock (map 3) that’s a direct echo of Doom 2’s Entryway (map 1).
I just saw on the rubycocoa-talk mailing list that the Cocoa bindings for Ruby WILL be in Leopard. Now that deserves a woohoo!
So the Netrooted Orangeshirts (link warning) have slain the DLC beast. Is this a new event in American politics, or are we just repeating history?
I’ve been a great fan of the television series Law and Order. At least until the spinoffs diluted the show’s quality, I’ve seen most of the episodes more than one time. So often when I’m watching the show, I’ll make a game of it, trying to remember the exact circumstances of the crime as quickly into the episode as possible. Often it only takes a minute or two.
In the case of the Democratic party, I know I’ve seen this party murder before. This is the one where Gene McCarthy got the far left hyped up, motivating them to work so that four years later they got who they wanted for their party’s nomination. Conveniently enough, that was also exactly who the Republicans wanted as the Democratic nominee.
Sure, the Howard Dean scream was new and fun. John Kerry was no Hubert Humphrey though he did play the role on television (Reporting for Duty!). But the movement that’s been building up last few years is the same one that was crashing the gate in ’68. Socialists, pacifists, and cosmopolitans are looking to drive out all Democrats who support a free, safe, and unique America.
So, my fellow Republicans: let’s get while the getting’s good. The Democrats are likely to nominate a real electoral loser come 2008, so let’s do better than nominating a Realpolitiking, wage-controlling liberal, alright?
