but I’m still pretty pleased with my little “other” revealer here:
function changeOption(object) {
var obj_id = jQuery(object).attr('id');
var obj_val = jQuery(object).val();
jQuery(object).children('option').each(function() {
var this_val = jQuery(this).val();
var field = jQuery('#' + obj_id + '-' + this_val);
if( this_val == obj_val) {
jQuery(field).parent().show();
} else {
jQuery(field).parent().hide();
}
});
}
I was talking to a friend about my ecto 3 woes and he pointed out that he’s still quite happy with version 2. I’m still working on my own solution for this problem, but for now. I’m going to give ecto 2 a shot (yay serial that works for both!) and see if I can get back into this blogging thing.
You know things have changed when 4 of 5 laptops at the coffee shop are Macs and not one is mine.
Saw a 5 minute version of this speech last Saturday. It is awesome! Watch this with your favorite geek and watch him laugh so hard he cries.
Wikipedia chaps my hide something fierce. The more I see user’s flagrant misuse matched only by the moderator’s drunken sense of their own power, the more I cringe away from trusting it at all, even as a starting point. That’s all I had. I suppose I could have tweeted this just as well.
Came this close to sticking with the Thunderbird 3 Alpha/Shredder series, but search tipped me back to Mail.app and emaildiscussions.com solved my problem.
Quoted for posterity:
“For the sake of continuity, I’ll give the PlistEditPro steps here.
a) Close Mail.app. Make a backup of your com.apple.mail.plist file by copying it to the desktop or something.
b) Open com.apple.mail.plist in PlistEditPro
(If you’re not familiar with the property lists, do not modify anything else, except for those here below).
c) Scroll down to mail accounts, and navigate open.
d) You may have 0, 1, 2, etc.. depending on how many mail accounts you have set up. 0 is the local account. Navigate open the main mail account that you primarily use. (scroll down to user name and host name to identify which account it is).
e) Single click on email addresses and then click on NEW SIBLING.
f) Give the name: EmailAliases, and choose class Array
g) Then single click on EmailAliases, and then click on NEW CHILD.
h) Give the name 0, and choose class as Dictionary
i) Single click on 0, and then click on NEW CHILD.
j) Give the name: alias, leave class as String, and give value as the email of the identity you would like, eg: xyz@abc.com
k) Again single click on 0, and then click on NEW CHILD.
l) Give the name: name, leave class as String, and give value as the name you would like to be when sending out, eg: John Doe
m) Now you can single click on 0, copy and paste there itself (apple-c and apple-v), and you get a second alias automatically set up.
n) Modify it to what you’d like, etc..
o) Dont forget to save once you’re done, or you wont see any changes. Say yes to replace.
p) Open mail.app. Everything will be as before. Click on new message, You get the option to choose from the identities you just created.”

I’ve been remise in my duties. Amber and I have added the following cute little guy to our family this past summer:
The above is Chester two weeks ago. Below is Chester’s adoption photo on peterfinder.com.
He’s square in chompy mode right now, but we’re hoping to get through that soon. It’s often a challenge but always a blessing.
I asked this question on facebook this afternoon: ‘gold star’ or ‘all the tea’?
In some further detail the above are band name ideas.
All the Tea is Jaysen’s contribution and is short for “all the tea in China“. It has a nice sound to it and a pretty good Family Guy quote:
“Hello, China? I have something you may want. But it’s gonna cost you. That’s right. All the tea.”

Gold Star is my idea and it comes complete with logo and ready made materials such as those little gold sticker packs — anyone remember getting a gold star for doing their homework? Of course I also recall an episode of Webster where he got gold stars for every night he didn’t wet his bed. Might not want to mention that one too much at shows…
I get that this it’s mostly for fun at this point but I can still appreciate the good folks over at Codeweavers releasing a port of Google Chromium for the rest of us to enjoy.
