Hey Ari, I thought you’d like to know that this bit of knowledge has been reused.
The newest addition to the elmcity project is Prescott AZ. They bookmarked their

like yours, remembered what you’d done here, tried it, and it worked.

In their case, it seems only have been necessary to do this:

Congratulations! ‘Arwen’ is a lovely name, and I think that commenter was right about it being kind of an insider geeky name.

Because every political party is actually a loose confederation of movements which may or may not be related, but which are calculated to add up to a large vote total. I’m sure careful scrutiny of the Democrats would reveal similar sets of discordant groups under the same umbrella.

Have fun riding light rail to Microsoft- in 2027 when it’ll be finished (if they build it on time and budget- you judge how likely that is).

And this plan leaves the 520 rebuild 1.2 billion dollars short, despite this being at least the 3rd time we’ve been asked to pay for it.

It was crashing regularly in mcrmgr.exe. I just took a quick look at the machine I’ve moved it to and it shows daily crashes of mcrmgr.exe, so it’s not an architecture thing. However on the 64 bit box, recordings had encoding errors and sometimes just plain failed. On the new box we haven’t noticed such behavior.
