I probably should have done that from the beginning. Too late now.

I asked Copilot about your sig line and here's what it told me (below).
Very interesting, I had never heard of that.
Copilot said: This phrase originates from the ancient Greek poet Archilochus and has been popularized by the philosopher Isaiah Berlin in his essay "The Hedgehog and the Fox"1. It contrasts two different ways of thinking and approaching the world:
Foxes are seen as versatile and adaptable, drawing on a wide range of experiences and strategies. They know many things and can handle various situations with flexibility.
Hedgehogs, on the other hand, focus on a single, overarching principle or idea. They know one big thing and apply it consistently to everything they encounter.
In essence, the phrase suggests that while foxes are cunning and resourceful, hedgehogs are steadfast and focused23. This metaphor is often used to describe different types of thinkers or problem-solvers.
Do you see yourself more as a fox or a hedgehog in your approach to programming and technology?

Not really one or the other as far as software goes, but a hedgehog when it comes to some other things.

Well, I mean... I have all the files I wrote for them and the zip files I submitted, sooo...

I have a large list of articles I've accumulated over the years. I use the Print view, then right-click, Save As, MHTML. While it does include images (in a single file) what it doesn't do is include the associated downloads.
[Edit]
Is everybody doing this right now? CP is being rather slow...would hate to see some DB go down, and nobody to bring it back up...

I just backed up my articles and will post revised versions of them at Github when I have the cycles.

Dear MS,
Please stop messing with my desktop background. Although your pictures are pretty, I actually USE my machines for work. I set the background to a nice solid color THAT I LIKE. It reduces eye strain. It's comfortable. It's home.
So, you update your OS "for security patches" <-- lying sons of bitches and change my desktop background to "let's send him a new picture..."
If you came into my office and started typing on my keyboard, I would grab your hands. I don't care if you are my wife, girl friend, mistress, child, or random person - you do not elephant with my computer.
To MS Marketing - you are obviously working at turning your OS into a data mining device. Meanwhile, you cannot fix the bugs. Good bye.

Argggg! I came up with bear=birth and dates=days but I couldn't figure out what red canals had to do with it. That in itself should have told me it was an anagram. C'est la vie. Nice clue though!

How did you get bear = birth ? I understand the rest

To "bear" a child is to give birth to said child. QED.
I'd missed the anagram reference so that's all I could think of. I was pretty sure it was wrong but that's the way the CCC bounces.

I like this. Nicely done.
