Absolutely! Do let us know if you need any specific characters.

Great idea! We'll plan to add some.

We planned for it but then got too ambitious. We now want animatable xkcd-like characters :-)
We'll probably try it for a few weeks before giving up.

@tobyhinloopn, @TheCraiggers, this was my idea, and I am uncomfortable that it completely hijacks the browser history. But I do like that I can use the back button to undo the change.
What would you prefer?

You can for Word and Excel. Just set Application.Visible = False.
However, I haven't found a way of turning this off for PowerPoint. On the other hand, one of the weird quirks is that the API draws much faster if you keep the window dragged. I've spent a fair bit of time keeping the PowerPoint window dragged while Python drives COM!

Actually, I'd rather leave it to the author of the document, because it seems a tough problem to solve.
At http://markdress.org/goo.gl/zTG1q, for example, the image is linked to an absolute URL: /graphics/markdown/mt_textformat_menu.png. It's going to be a bit cumbersome to traverse through goo.gl and detect that this is actually at http://daringfireball.net/. Might be easier if authors either stuck to pure relative URLs, or full URLs with domains.
But that's just me passing the buck...

True. This is something I'm working on. Even with Dropbox, I'd rather use an HTTPS than HTTP.

I've added it now. Thanks.
Twitter via e-mail
I've been looking for a client that can access Twitter via e-mail -- in a convenient way. I didn't want too many emails, so it would have to be summarised. And I wanted the ability to reply.Couldn't find one, so I wrote one at http://www.mixamail.com/My reason was that I have e-mail but no Internet access on my BlackBerry.Just wondering: is this a problem anyone else faces? What workarounds...
