I ran across the comment, if you snore, get tested for sleep apnea. Now. My sweetie, who is not in the least overweight, snores quite a bit, and has been getting louder over the years. He doesn’t have many apnea risk factors (in fact, just [1] one family member, his nephew, who has had apnea surgery and [2] the worried wife), but his chest moves in odd, possibly not breathing, ways before really loud snores. Add in my insomnia (and inso-mom-nia: waking whenever I hear my child make a nighttime peep), and I do not look forward to bedtime when my nightly struggle to sleep begins.
I thought I was going to go batty trying to get a reasonable blank version of Lewcid’s presentation in TiddlyWiki because I could not download a version that I could edit! Yes, I tried the #author:true URL, but nothing changed. Well, when your browser fights you, use something else!
curl -O http://lewcid.googlepages.com/presentation_empty_full.html
Anyway, now to see if I think slides in TiddlyWiki are easier than slides in S5. I’m using OmniOutliner to organize my talks, saving as OPML, and using an XSL to convert to S5. I have two problems with this approach: my notes aren’t converted from OPML to the handout (print, not slides) section, and the XSL is cruel to links and images. So before I run the XSL, I mangle the URLs with sed, XSLT, de-mangle with the reverse sed. That’s a little annoying, so I was wondering if there were something simpler. Since I use TiddlyWiki all the time …
I’ll see how it goes, but at least I crossed the first hurdle, getting a TiddlySlides file that I can edit.
UPDATE 1/11/08: the trick wasn’t actually curl; it was to quit and relaunch my browser (Firefox). Something must have been cached that prevented the #author:true from working.
