Are you having problems with text being duplicated at the end of one of your floated div tags? It might not really be your fault. After spending about an hour verifying that my code was in fact OK I stumbled upon an article about the IE Duplicate Characters Bug.
For those of you who use bit torrent to download various tv shows, podcasts, videocasts or any other type of periodicly updated media there is now a way to automate the process. I use azureus for my bit torrent download client and have added the RSSFeed Scanner Plugin which you can learn about how to install from zeropaid. While they certainly do a great job of telling you how to install the plugin they leave out the details of how to download from a site that requires a login. I’ll explain how this can be done with cookies.
I presented my talk on scalable raster to TIN simplification at the FOSS4G2006 conference in Lausanne Switzerland on 9/19/2006. The talk covered my work with Prof. Laura Toma from my honors project at Bowdoin as well as work done the summer after graduating. You can download the pdf version of both the paper and the talk here:

After building a list of items in a string (ie “x1,x2,x3,x4,”) I typically find myself needing to remove the last comma. After using this for the longest time:
$str = substr($str,0,strlen($str)-1);
I found:
$str = substr($str,'',-1);
This will actually remove the last character whatever it is so be careful, for my uses it’s perfect.
I know this is not novel but it’s elegant and these are the things that make my day.
Creating disk images on a mac is easy. If you have an older version of OS X you should see a program called Disk Copy in your Utilities folder. If you use OS X > 10.4 your Disk Utility will do the trick.
Just go to File > New and create an image of any volume on your computer. That’s the easy part.
