Word has it that this will come after the voting for the Oscars.

It’s supposedly going to be quite a bit longer than a standard trailer! Should I got a fifth time? I think so!

All images loaded into a Vanila site now have thumbnails automatically created.

###What can you do?

* Choose to have all images displayed as thumbnails by default, clicking on the image to see the fullsize picture
* Choose to have all image displayed full size by default
* Choose on a per image basis whether or not it should be viewed as a thumbnail
* Choose on a per reference basis whether or not an image should be included as a thumbnail.
* The max height and width for a thumbnail are configurable

On my site right now, all images are by default thumbnails, with certain images overriding that default.

###How’d I do this?

I’ve made use of the mogrify command from the “imagick” suite, which must be installed for this to work. Each time an image is loaded into the system, I use mogrify to scale the image to be within the max height and width from the site prefs. This image is then loaded into the database alongside the fullsize image.

What do you think?

I Think Jeff Jacoby has it right.

Why should we relegate the perfectly useable word **Minority** to the trash heap for the sake of political correctness!

I love it!

What fun to watch my referrer logs and watch the hits come pouring in from Scripting.com. Ok, it isn’t like I’m being overwhelmed here. After all, how many people are that interested in an Emacs/Blogger interface? I’m guessing not that many.

But that is just because they don’t understand that Emacs is similar to Userland’s Radio in that it is all about progressive revelation.

It’s about time!

Based on findings in the lower courts, Netscape Corporation has decided to sue Microsoft for illegal business practices that led to the destruction of the Netscape browser.

Forget the call, they may loose their head coach.

John Gruden has told his agent that he won’t be back after the ’02 season. It’d really be a shame if Oakland looses such a talented coach.

Here’s what some other’s have to say:

• **Ann Killion, SJ Mercury News**: [Once anger subsides over ‘travesty,’, more questions will confront Raiders](http://www.bayarea.com/c/category/sports*and*recreation/columnists/killion/docs/killion20.htm-) They trudged off the field, their season coming to an improbable end in football Siberia. And within seconds their footprints were covered by snow, as though the Raiders had never been there at all.
• **Tim Kawakami, SJ Mercury News**: [Incorrect? Yes, Conspiracy? Not so fast](http://www.bayarea.com/c/category/sports*and”recreation/columnists/kawakami/docs/kawakami21.htm-) Conspiracy theorists, take note! The review-reversal-fumble-tuck-no-tuck fiasco, which played like a scene from “Seinfeld* and sent the Raiders home from Foxboro, Mass., in righteous apoplexy Saturday night, wasn’t about the NFL vs. Al Davis.
• **Skip Bayless, SJ Mercury News**: [Reversal of Fortune](http://www.bayarea.com/c/category/sports*and*recreation/columnists/bayless/docs/bayless20.htm-) New England’s 16-13 overtime win turned into the biggest steal in New England since John Havlicek’s. This was like Rosie Ruiz’s corner-cutting Boston Marathon victory being allowed to stand. This was nearly as big a rip-off as the Yankees acquiring Babe Ruth from the Red Sox.

Peter Jackson has been nominated by the Director’s Guild of America as Best Director for his work on Fellowship of the Ring.

Go Peter! You really deserve this honor.

I wonder if this foretells a nomination from the Academy?

From Palmer to Tryon, there’s a lot of great stories this year in the world of golf.

Not the least of which is, can Garcia pull off what he expects from himself?

I guess I’m not the only one!

Many of the posts here are just way to harsh, but there’s some good insight as well. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed for a new series out of the deal. I mean, [[B5]] started with [[The Gathering]], a mediocre effort at best, and look what it got us: the best science fiction series ever put on television!

In sum, I think that Rangers is not a bad effort.

Let’s just hope the series gets the green light!
