Dan Rather part 2

[prog]

Going to the airport soon after the Andys get back from fetching daerr's new DS from the FedEx depot.

It's a good thing I gave up magical thinking for Lent or I'd be pretty upset that my ticket number at the place I got my breakfast bagel this morning was 911.

Should I not land at Columbus, you may blame the New York Times first, but blame Au Bon Pain second.

At least the flyers printed up real nice, though they was ass-expensive. I took woodlander's (and queue's) advice and asked Rob to remove the linebreaks from the phone numbers, email addresses and URLs. This meant I had to stress over getting them printed this morning instead of yesterday, but it's worth it; they look great. Thanks!

(And I can't remember who said you can hand Kinko's a URL and they'll grab the file and work with it, but: no, at least not at the Harvard Square Kinko's. Dude told me they weren't allowed to download things. I had to take a CD-R, go upstairs, and spend an extra $10 on buying computer access to download the PDF, burn the CD, and hand it to the guy. At least he didn't charge me for the CD...)

That was me who said that about Kinko's. That's pretty messed up. At the Kinko's in Burlington they gave me a keychain flash card thingy and let me use a computer to download onto it. I don't think they charged me for the computer time, but if they did it was less than $10 (it took about 2 minutes).

Wait, why didn't you just send them the job via their website?

I tried to install their Windows thing and it broke so I gave up.

Nah, you don't need to use their crummy print tools. Just make your own PDFs, upload them as web orders, and pick up the job later. They used to even show you a preview of your job on-screen, or at least fax you a proof. Look here:

Have fun!

From this passage, we can infer that...

daerr, whom you have not met, and who moved acros the street from me last year.

And radiotelescope has been a half-Bostonian for half a year now...
