Don't "Remote Desktop" To Your Own Machine

For goodness sake, do not --I repeat, DO NOT-- use Microsoft's "Remote Desktop Connection" program to connect to the same computer you are running it on. In Windows XP, this will completely lock up your machine, shut down your monitors and your networking, and there's no way to recover from it except to reboot the machine.

The Edgeless Brownie Tray 3

To follow up on the "Edgeless Brownie Tray" saga, I learned from a friend (who does more baking than I do) that the crunchy/crusty edge-pieces of a pan of brownies can be eliminated simply by putting the pan of brownie mix inside a bigger pan and filling the outer pan with water. This perfectly workable solution, while not requiring anti-gravity or complicated apparatuses, lacks a certain je-ne-sais-quois.
