It's even worse than it appears.

Today's song: Oklahoma USA.#
Joe Trippi did a podcast in response to my podcast. This time I listened all the way through. I like that Joe is open to other points of view. This is an important time for that. I'm also glad he's talking with the Lincoln Project. I'm going to think about this for a bit and then respond. #
I have a two-monitor Mac. Sometimes when I move my mouse in the Dock at the bottom of my main monitor, it moves to the bottom of the other monitor. All of a sudden I have to stop, launch the Preferences app, open the Dock panel, click the Right button then the Bottom button, and now the Dock is back where it belongs. It seems the problem could be easily solved by putting a Lock icon on the Dock tab, as they have on other panels. I can't imagine why they thought a mouse gesture should do something so radical as move the Dock. #
I'm putting together a new hub for Instant Outline notifications using GitHub as the intermediary. Today is a docs-writing day. The code is working, knock wood, praise Murphy, etc. Doing some searches I found an Instant Outline tool I did in 2009, using FriendFeed in roughly the same manner I'm using Twitter and GitHub this time. Let's hope this time it gains traction. I've been waiting for people to play with on this stuff, this is one of those things you can't do on your own. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
