I'm helping [profile] turtlebat23 edit a term paper, and when I tried to add συνεργούς to the custom dictionary, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac [Version 11.5.0 (080429)] complained that it couldn't save it to the custom dictionary because it contained Unicode.

Is there some add-on or patch that would solve this, or will we just have to choose between "Ignore All" on every document or buying Word 2008?

...and now back to the editing.

Three things I accomplished today:
  • Inflicted my little bit of interactive fiction on a playtester, the lovely [profile] tally_cat , and added a new verb at her suggestion.
  • Installed MediaWiki 1.6.9 on a RHEL 4 (and therefore PHP 4) server.
  • Almost totally rearranged the living room to provide a somewhat quieter sleeping space, more room for exercise, and more seating.
Three things that made me happy today:
  • Getting a workout with Yourself! Fitness for the Playstation (man, Maya's legs use a hell of a lot less Δv than mine do -- I'm not sure I could ever match her pace)
  • Unsolicited compliments from the aforementioned lovely [profile] tally_cat
  • Having a night to myself

I was hoping iTunes 7 would allow me to override the number of episodes for each podcast. I only need the most recent NPR hourly news, though there are other podcasts where I'd like to be able to get 5-10 episodes I haven't heard.

Juice doesn't seem capable of doing this either.

Before I dive into writing a Perl cgi that will parse the RSS feed and remove all but the first <item>, does anyone have any suggestions for a better podcatcher?

>< Goddamnit!

I installed Flash Player 8 and now Adblock seems to be blocking all .swf files (but won't admit to it).

I do NOT want to have to choose between Adblock and Flash.

UPDATE: Fortunately I don't have to. Here's a solution to the Flash 8 / Adblock problem.
