Have you tried TED Notepad? It's pretty much Notepad, except with more options and fewer bugs. I never had any crashes in Notepad anyway, so can't directly compare, but I'd expect it's also more crash-resistant.

The problem wasn't a crash; it was a mouse-slide followed by a keyboard mash (enter+something else)--and Notepad doesn't remember more than one action to undo. If I had been working in Word, I could've just hit ctrl-z twice (or more) until I got back to the right place.

I'll look at TED Notepad. And I may look at Textpad, which I've worked with before.

Is there any alternative way to get a communications badge if I don't have a color printer at home?

We will have a limited number available at the convention for attendees who require them.

Depending on which browser you're currently using, you may be able to partially block JS without losing everything; there are a couple "script blocker" browser extensions hanging around, which block any scripts coming from sites not on their whitelists. They're marketed as security tools, but I could see it also being useful for the more general purpose of blocking JS without crippling your browsing ability, since a lot of sites seem to host their scripts on a separate domain.

Thanks. I’m vaguely aware that there are customizable JS-blocking tools; I’ve been too lazy busy to track down the details. (Busy. Yeah. Gonna call it “busy.” Between this blog and breeding pretty dragons and reading Avengers porn, it’s amazing I have any time to get work done.)

Mostly I just stay away from sites that have constant JS-based animations. I figure if their target demographic wants a constant barrage of images, I’m not part of their preferred customer base and I find other sites that have what I want.

(I’m currently using Firefox. I use Chrome for some game-things because they don’t work in Firefox, or something between adblock, flashblock, and disconnect makes them nonfunctional. But I don’t like Chrome; the Google overlords get enough data from me as it is.)

Dave calling back to Dirk's sword line would be a lot more worrying, at least the way I see it, if not for the fact that Dirk was himself calling back to a thing Dave said way back in Act 2, when John was criticizing his sword.

oh

shit really

oh yea now i remember when dave did that

man that was ages ago wow

CALLBACK X3 COMBO

or something

though the way i see it a lot of people would have forgotten the initial line (like i did) since that was like 3 years ago (both in comic and real life), so eh.
