Roxio, the helpful people who make terrible CD-authoring software for the PC, have a mandatory registration for anybody wanting to update their stuff. I entered “joe@blow.com” in the email field and “joeblow” as a login, and of course, somebody already registered that name. So i put in “joeblow@zero.com” and “joebloeschmo”, and both of them were taken as well. Finally I just made up a random number and got through. How annoying for the DBA to chug through that mountain of worthless data for the five or six good addresses…

The HDR problem may be solved…. Stay tuned.
