- Casey kasem, a guy who pretty much represents everything that I hate about radio, is being replaced (see CNN story). "American Idol" host and DJ Ryan Seacrest will replace radio icon Casey Kasem as host of the weekly pop countdown show, "American Top 40." Kasem has been the primary voice of "American Top 40" since 1970, best known for his long-distance dedications and relating the stories behind the songs. Actually, I think he's best known as a guy with a bad temper and a foul mouth. If you'v... |

Noel Neill (Dec 12 2003 13:32 GMT) - Do you remember Noel Neill? She played Lois Lane in the original Superman TV show. Noel Neill defined the role of Lois Lane over the last 76 episodes of the series and was easily one of the most beloved women of 1950's television. Neill's version of Lois was more vivacious and less serious than Phyllis Coates. In fact, sometimes, she and Jack Larson (as Jimmy Olsen) were simply comic. |

- From Microsoft's Knowledge Base: You Cannot Add a Row in a Filtered List in Excel 2003. SYMPTOMS: When you try to insert a row in a filtered list in Excel 2003, rows may contain data that is not true to the filter clause. For example, if you create a list of various numbers in a worksheet that is filtered to display only the rows that contain the number four, and then you insert a row, rows may appear that contain numbers other than four. |

- Colorado Water A group of south metro water districts are working together and have come up with a plan that includes at least one reservoir for future storage in Douglas and Arapahoe counties, according to today's Rocky Mountain News [December 12, 2003, "Reservoir in $2.5 billion plan"]. From the article, "The new favored approach calls for collecting an average of 19,000 acre-feet of excess runoff, building a treatment plant and storing it in reservoirs belonging to the districts, said study manager Pat Mulhern. The plan also would involve building pipelines to connect communities to the surface water and the eventual creation of a water authority with some funding or taxing powers. To pay for the system, tap fees charged for new homes would increase an average of almost $13,000, but would vary widely by district, depending on their financial structures. |

- "If you have a spreadsheet that uses the RAND() function, and you’re using Excel 2003, you may be getting bad results – and you probably don’t even know it. Excel 2003’s RAND() has a big, big bug in it. In short, RAND() should produce a pseudo-random number between 0 and 1. Microsoft reworked the function for Excel 2003 so that it would produce a better quality of randomness, especially when you ask for a large number of random numbers. Guess what? |

- Je suis sorti pas plus tard qu'avant hier soir, laminé d'une discussion à tendances polémiques (1) sur Houellebecq avec un mien ami et mon amoureuse. Je ne tiens pas spécifiquement à en reproduire la teneur ici, j'imagine que tu as tes propres discussions polémiques avec tes propres amis; je tenais plutôt à utiliser cette introduction comme alibi. Alibi parce que je suis sorti, donc, épuisé de cette discussion (2) et que c'est ainsi que je me suis senti la plupart des soirs de cette semaine. Et de celle d'avant aussi. |
