“Flip4Mac™ - Playing Windows Media files in Quicktime.” was penned precisely on 12 January, 2006 11:22 AM, which happened to be a Thursday. but you know what? dullneon.com's random notes has now moved to a new location.

this was published on 12 January in the year 2006, which was a Thursday. anyway, all this is old and archived. everything has been now been moved, so head on down to the revamped almost daily random notes (unless of course you like this old stuff too much to part with it).
