i woke up at 7 this morning, but am not at all tired. i blame all the sleep i got yesterday. if i was smarter i would have kept working through the winter, since it's not so fun to go outside this time of year, so there's not much to do.
in that same vein, this morning i decided to remove OS9 support from my laptop, since it wastes disk that i could use for 12 minutes of DV (the os9 applications and system folders take up a little over 1GB on my desktop).
it turned out that my default terminal font was in the OS9 System Folder, and Terminal got confused and tried to use the (null) font at a rather large (something like 239871592387129) size. resetting these two values and rebooting got rid of the garbage on the screen.
the scary thing is that i am liking lucida handwriting as a terminal font.
the funny thing is, you'd have to _pay_ joe to use it.
it seems safari doesn't handle images in <object> tags very well. if you have plug-ins disabled, it ignores all <object> tags. if you omit the type attribute, it says it doesn't know the mime-type of the plug-in. i bet they already know about these things, but since there's no way to check i just reported them anyway. if i report enough bugs, i get a free 12" powerbook right?
