So, I was about ready to give Westlaw some credit, for having a nice printing feature that remembers what settings you used last time (which is better than some apps I could name). Very nice.
Then I tried to upload a file. Westlaw happily checks the file path and lets me know that / is not a valid character in a file name. !@#@!#@!#. [Unix-using users will know that effectively all file names in Unix systems include /. This is why webpages have //// and not \\\\\ in them.]
Grrr.
Disclaimer: Dale Chihuly, as far as I can tell, is an asshole. He’s one of my guilty pleasures, art-wise, I guess. I went and saw some of his stuff early this year in Miami, with enjoyable results that have graced my TV ever since. Went this weekend with the new camera and Peter and Lizzie to the Chihuly exhibition at the New York Botanical Garden, and had a blast. Some of the pieces were the same as in the Miami show, but others were very different- different enough that I’m very glad I went. Some of my favorites:
Plenty more where those came from- not a good sign that I took 110 pictures and was only able to narrow it down to 70+ for upload. :)
Unfortunately, if you’re in NYC, the exhibition closed Sunday, so you missed it, but he has other shows ongoing and coming up, including (apparently) a return to Fairchild, which I really look forward to seeing at Christmas.
My sister Deblois is touring in the Portland area a bit next week. If you haven’t heard her stuff (she calls it ‘acoustic blues-tinted folk’- think something in the neighborhood of Indigo Girls, maybe?) you can listen to it (and/or buy it) at her CDBaby page; if you listen and like it and you’re in OR, you can find her schedule online. It is fun stuff- highly recommended. If you go see her, tell her I sent ya :)
