I’ve had two African clawed frogs for some time now. The male is named Trigby Phipps and the girl’s name is Mossby Pomegranate. Mossby is fatter of the two, which also makes her the hungriest. I also have a black snail that they live with…or so I did.

Yeah. Guess who ate him. I had to pull the remains out of her mouth so she wouldn’t choke on the hard part of the snail, but she pretty much ate most of it. All that was left was a hollow shell. So, to make Trigby feel special I went outside and found two earthworms, which he happily devoured.
…is strange. I assume it’s the same in other distributions, but under Debian in Iceweasel, print preview by default is lacking the option to scale content and view it in either landscape or portrait. From digging around in the configuration I found the print.whileInPrintPreview value to be set to ‘false’. Changing this to ‘true’ enabled scaling and landscape/portrait mode. I have no idea why this isn’t enabled by default, but I assume it will be at some point in a future version. The funny thing is, all of this is enabled by default in the Windows build and I’m not sure about OSX. I also found that using a custom scale produces a bug that splits the window into two panes, each with cut-off text. Whenever I close print preview and re-open it, everything looks fine.
I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed last Thursday. To my surprise, the whole thing has gone well so far. I took a Valium an hour before the procedure and I remember my arms and legs feeling heavy. When I got to the office I was taken in immediately and sat in a chair. An oxygen mask was placed over my face and an IV was put in my arm. I actually dreaded that part, but it wasn’t so bad. One of the assistants told me to clench my fist while she inserted the IV. She said it would feel like a bee sting and it did, but it didn’t hurt. Then she told me to relax and the last thing I heard was “he weighs 107 pounds…” and I was out like a light.
I don’t even remember waking up or getting into the car, but I do remember sitting in the car and talking to my mom about what I was seeing. The road was like a kaleidoscope and there were multiple copies of everything I saw; it was pretty neat actually. I haven’t had any major pain and I’ve been living off of chicken broth and Lortab. The Lortab makes me feel good, but I try not to rely on it because it’s bad for my liver. I also look like I’ve been punched in the face a few times, but there’s not any bruising and the swelling has gone down a lot. I miss eating regular food, though, and eating lunch at school this week is going to be a pain in the ass.
After a night of sifting through hundreds of lines of PHP, cleaning up careless CSS mistakes, and eating a bowl of burned rice, I have a bad case of heartburn. Oh look, WordPress 2.7.1 is out.
