Stuffit

[sqlrob]

ARRRRGGHHHH

Why did some idiot programmer/company decide that making a non-network program network bound is a good idea?

If you have a Mac and have been having trouble expanding files with StuffIt, here's a fix:

If you're scared of the command line:
Start StuffIt Expander
Wait
....
Wait
....
Wait some more
....
When it finally comes up, go to the preferences panel, go to "Version Checking", uncheck "Allow Version Checking"

If you don't mind the command line:
Start a Terminal

defaults write com.stuffit.expander allowVersionChecking false

Done, and thanks.

BTW, you mind if I gank your format for reviewing games? I'm tempted to post a review for my latest obsession, but figured I'd ask first.

Grab away. Heck, I don't even have a consistent template for 'em, which you can tell if you look across a few of them.

I saw an equivalent to the "would pay" somewhere else a long time ago, and I don't even remember where.

Coolness. Do you use a client for LJ? If you're interested in one, check out XJournal. It's NICE. The "Glossary" feature is for templates and text that you use often, for, say, game reviews. It's at http://www.speirs.org/xjournal/.
