The Design and Implementation of laffer1

I have a number of bugs left to squash with the new PDF/RTF feature.  Its not working too badly considering I started it at 9:00PM or so.  In IE, you have to refresh once if using the adobe plugin and the RTF formatting is bad.  Also, if you save its not suggesting a filename right now.  That means the RTF for instance is saved just as rtf with no file extension.  Also, the content type was wrong for IE.  I fixed that already, but its not live yet.  I think we still need to setup the various date fields on files.  That would be rather helfpul.  Word 2007 opens the RTF file perfectly though. 

I think I got HTML stripping working too so if you posted a rich entry it shoudl degrade somewhat.  What i'm even more excited about is that content length is set for my dynamic image servlets.  I found a kewl hack tonight which uses a byte output  stream .... the response is written to that and then to the response object's output stream.  it allows me to call size on it.

This is a very strange story.  A student from germany was involved in an automobile accident in 1996.  She was disabled.  The courts ordered that her boyfriend be sole guardian.  He received the insurance checks from the accident.  The mother alleges that the accident was staged and there is a grand conspiracy.  What I find strange is that the daughter was never allowed to leave the US.  Why on earth would the courts appoint her boyfriend as guardian?  They were not engaged.  Very strange. 

The problem is that the mother has a website with grand conspiracy theories.  I'm sure there is more to this story but its not public.

I feel bad for the mother and daughter.  I guess the mother often protests in front of the washtenaw court house.
