Morning, Glories.

for those who cut'n'paste to comments on Ace:

ASCII-izer

With this program, Windows users (and Windows-emulator users mayyybe) who cut & paste and cannot then post sometimes on Ace of Spades may get some relief from submission errors occurring since the server crash of May 12.

How it works: Copy some text to the clipboard. Click on the ASCII-izer program. The text in the clipboard has been corrected. There's more features, but that's the basics. Converts all those pesky quotation marks, apostrophes, long hyphens, ellipses, and other "advanced computer age" characters you're trying to cut'n'paste but which are unacceptable to the last-millennium commenting software on the Ace of Spades blog. A quick'n'dirty one-day hack. Not great, but may work for you. Have mercy, critics!
