I wish I could have said it as well as you have here.

Dunno if it would have helped this poor guy:

There are parts of nps.gov that are also down. Try to find the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial right now.

Last good snapshot on Wayback Machine is from Sunday 2/26, unfortunately.

General site search is also throwing a 503.


Playgrounds are boring... ;-)

My uncle gave me an uncut sheet of dollar bills as an xmas present when I was maybe 9 or 10. Many years later, I still remember that feeling of astonishment -- ranks among one the great Christmas gifts of my childhood.


+1000 for VueScan. And they have perpetual licensing -- take that, Adobe.


My current Vuescan license is from 1999. And I think that one was just to replace an older serial due to some upgrade on their end. It's probably the most bang for the buck of any software I've actually purchased.

I don't do much scanning anymore, but I do have an ancient Nikon CoolScan 35mm scanner that's probably at least 20 years old now. I get it out every few years to scan something I found and, with Vuescan, it still works remarkably well.

Although the last time I fetched it out from a storage container by our barn (I really should store it in the house) I found the negative strip scanner wasn't working anymore, but the slide adapter did and that was good enough for the task at hand.

Fairly certain it won't be switched off by default in most corporate environments. Recall is one of the more impressive foot-bazookas to come out of MS since WebDAV in Windows 2000!


I appreciate the link -- hadn't actually seen that Carlin bit before!
