HTtrack is available for many operating system and is free (open source). I'd been using HTtrack for several years with varying degrees of success, but never completely understood it in spite of have read the docs and FAQs several times over. I recently scoured the forums and found answers to several elusive questions and am iterating them here so I can point people to it when they ask "How do you use this thing?" I'll focus on the Windows version that has a GUI, WinHTtrack. The most important thing to do is to set options. To download a website in one domain:set options scan rules- -*
- exclude every file and website
- +website.com
- include the domain website.com
limits- max mirror depth: (blank)
- get every link from within the domain
- max external depth: 99
links- attempt to detect all links: OFF
- get non-HTML files related to a link: ON
- test validity of links: OFF
- get HTML files: ON
spider- spider: no robots.txt rules
- ignore any website instructions on which files to exclude - get everything
- update hack: ON
- URL hack: ON
To get all subdomains and a domain, use:+*website.com(form authentication, aka logging in with username and password)

I've been coding a small project in HTML/CSS and Javascript. Coding for browsers would be fine if all browsers displayed content the same, but they aren't. So on top of learning code, you have to learn the quirks of the browsers on different operating system platforms. This was a huge problem in the 1990's when browsers were prepubescent, but it's less so today. Still, there are 3 major browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer and Opera) on 3 major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). If you do the math, that's 9 variants you have to know quirks for if you want to get them working on all platforms. Fortunately, a group of geek volunteers hashed out web standards that they call the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Most browsers conform to the standards, which make coding a lot easier. I say most because IE, even at version 7 in 2007, isn't standards compliant. IE6 was much, much worse. This means one codes for standards, then codes for IE problems. This isn't conjecture either - Microsoft IE developers freely admits their shortcomings and encourages the community to workaround their problems until they can fix them. This is like a car manufacturer selling their car, then asking the world to fix known problems with their engine until they can fix it themselves. The project required IE6/Win as their choice of browser. Having worked in the IT industry for 5 years, I can say with confidence from my experience the reason for this choice is due to IE6 being packaged with WinXP. It's a matter of less work. So we have a corporate employee decision to make less work for himself, but the rest of the world has to code for problems stemming from that choice. Sounds like job security to me, or worse - laziness. In my studies to get this project completed, I learned a few things: - IE6/Win does not know XHTML. It does not know XML.
- IE6/Win needs the correct DOCTYPE to display properly, namely HTML4.01.
- Because of this, all tags must use HTML semantics - no XML semantics.
- Using browser addons for debugging is essential.
- Use the Dean Edward's IE7 javascript to make IE7 and 6 standards compliant. In short, to make them work RIGHT.

Been hanging onto an ear ache for several days until I was reminded that hot peppers are medicinal and not just for flavor. I steeped a dash of mama's ground serrano pepper with some other tea and honey and drank it. Mouth was hot for a few minutes, but the ache was gone within an hour. The oils from hot peppers travel through the blood acting as cleanser, a disinfectant, a disease killer. Any peppers will do, but the hottest ones work best. There's a reason you've heard of cayanne pepper! If you're ill, get on the stick. Better yet, just drink a glass every day to keep the disease away.

Description:
This is the classic, full-bodied, gutsy tomato sauce that makes one
think of Naples. Accept no substitute, especially the so-called
speghetti sauces on supermarket shelves. Serve with vermicelli,
spaghetti, or bucatini, and lots of grated cheese.
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh (preferable roma) or canned tomatoes, drained
1 stalk celery, minced
Few sprigs of parsley, minced
2 tablespoons sweet butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
Few fresh basil leaves, wiped clean with a cloth
1 small onion, minced
1 medium carrot, minced
Salt and fresh pepper to taste
Directions:
Cut the tomatoes into quarters. Do not remove the skin or seeds. Heat
the butter and oil in a pot and add the onion, carrot, celery,
parsley, and garlic. When the onion turns slightly golden in color,
add the tomatoes. (If you are using canned peeled tomatoes rather than
fresh ones, add 2 teaspoons of tomato paste.) Stir with a wooden spoon
for a few minutes. When the tomatoes start to fall apart, add the
basil. Cover the pot and cook over a very low flame for 20 minutes.
Add salt and fresh pepper to taste and cook uncovered for 10 minutes
more or until the sauce is thick. Pass the sauce through a vegetable
sieve (or quisanart - used to make really fine consistency) into a
serving bowl, to which you should add 1 pound of freshly cooked al
dente pasta.
I found a thread in the Afterdawn forums discussing lightscribe as a solution for printing directly onto CD/DVD's:
"Is lightscribe worth it?"
If you aren't informed about it and its contending technologies, you
might be interested in reading it. To summerize, I discovered Canon
and Epson make inkjet printers that can print full color onto media
where Lightscribe is monochrome, like a half-tone, dotted newpaper
picture. The price comparison is about a wash when you factor in all
the hardware to get each working - drive, printer, media and ink. The
printers appears to have an advantage because you can print on paper
too, not just the media like Lightscribe.
The printers accept CD/DVD via a tray and print directly onto special
media, but the Canon printers are enabled for CD printing only in
Australia - in the US, it is disabled. Fortunately, a CD tray can be
bought cheaply from ebay and a few computer hacks can enable it again.
If you decide to read the thread, just breeze past the playground name
calling antics and focus on the end user, unbiased, end results
discussion. There is some good info in there.

I rarely watch movies or TV, but when I was introduced into the 'cowboys in space" cable TV series "Firefly" on DVD, I was pleasantly surprised. The series was cancelled after only 14 episode, but the writer, cast and fanbase were so adamant that they made a film of it. How often does that happen and more importantly - why? The characters were well developed, the actors did justice to their roles, and the storylines were generally good - it feels like "Little House on the Prairie" in a big universe. The film continues the tradition, weaving an intricate tale with great production and is one of the few films I can unequivocally say is worth seeing.
