• I get *sooo* frustrated by software that does not play nice-nice with proxy servers and/or authenticated proxy servers. #
• @WillHughes: I’m more referring to web-enabled software that doesn’t even recognise proxies as an option. #
• @WillHughes: e.g. Adobe AIR (aka Apollo) can’t configure proxies, and doesn’t work at all with authenticated proxies #
• @WillHughes: It does at least work with the WPAD/PAC mechanism #
• @WillHughes: Yes! Exactly. @StevenHodson ’s TwitBox doesn’t work because of the same issue… Even MS do it wrong #
• For a while it looked like the only accomodation left for TechEd was at Palazzo Versace… no such luck! #

• @YoungestOfOne: Don’t let Mr Hrab catch you doing that. Apropos != appropriate. Apropos = related to. #
• @YoungestOfOne: Interesting… last time I looked it up was 15 years ago in one of those big dead-tree things #
• @YoungestOfOne: Perhaps dictionary.com is tracking current usage. Oxford defines it as “with reference to” #
