Who's the King of Pop Now?

2 hour layovers and jet lag

So we arrive in Denver CO last night at 7pm their time, 9pm Baltimore time under the impression we were about to have a 2 hour layover. "Don't worry about it though" Jess said, "they have this money mall inside the airport that's really cool to occupy us." We get off the plane, and head to the big departure screen to find out our plane is delayed and won't be taking off until 11pm their time, 1am Baltimore time. ugh. I'm already exhausted. We've been in airports since 2pm, and I just want to go to bed. Plus our destination is still an hour away from the airport. And the mall Jess talked up, was a tie store and food court.

We did however get to watch Gone Baby Gone, which was pretty decent. All in all, I got to bed at 5am Baltimore time, and I am pretty miserable. The Utah mountains however are really nice, so thats a plus. I'm off to hop in the hower, we are getting breakfast, and then diving n hour back to the airport t pick up our rental car. The rental car place was closed by the time we got there because of the layover.

Dreamweaver security flaw? helpful to me

So I'm getting ready to embark on a trip to Utah to visit Jess's family, and on the way there I figured I would do some side work to keep me busy on the ~6 hour flight. I installed dreamweaver, and photoshop on her macbook, and started setting up the site for the site I'm going to be working on. Then I got to the FTP password field. W.T.F. I haven't had to update this bad boy since I started working on the site over a year ago, and there is a zero percent chance that I'm going to remember this password. I have to change my password at work every time I drop duke, and with every other password I have, I cant be expected to remember client passwords too. In a panic, I first hit up my email. no dice. Although I did find the SQL server password which will come in handy when I'm doing DB work, but I probably won't be doing much of that on the trip.

I go upstairs to my iMac and hit up the site there, and of course it's a password field so I can't view it. I try copying and pasting, and that doesn't work. I start cruising the inter-tubes, and nothing there. I have no idea at this point what to do... I could pull the files over my network that are already on my mac, and then ftp them when I get home, but I was planning on doing some testing while gone, and my computer doesn't have coldfusion, and I'm not about to set up jess's laptop to be it's own server, just for this short trip. As a last ditch effort, I highlight the password on my iMac, and drag the highlighted text to another form field, and it magically appears. I dunno if this is SUPPOSED to happen, but it worked, and I was able to connect to the server.

This exited me enough to post. If this interests you, drop me a comment and see if this works in other password fields, or if it's just a problem with dreamweaver. I'm currently setting up my phone as a modem, because I hear they only have dial-up in Utah still. At least that's what my old co-worker Wilson led me to believe.
