Evelyn Nesbit

A search on the name Evelyn turned up an interesting site about the Story of Evelyn Nesbit and the Thaw-White Murder:

As a sixteen year old girl, model, actress and Gibson Girl Evelyn Nesbit was debauched by prominent New York architect, Stanford White. On June 25, 1906, White paid for taking Evelyn’s virginity when her new husband, the wild millionaire Harry K. Thaw, tooks White’s life on the rooftop garden of Madison Square Garden.

I was looking for men named Evelyn. Besides the obvious one: Evelyn Waugh. I think that any male Evelyn’s born in contemporary times can be attributed to him…

Better HTML export for Word 2000

Office 2000 HTML Filter 2.0 is an Office add-on that produces more standard (and lighter) HTML, without all the peculiar non-standard, XMLish tags the original Office output filter uses. It can also export style sheets, or copy formatted text to the clipboard as more humane HTML then the regular copy/paste functionality.

I should get the demons guys to use it.

And I don’t know why it’s classified as an Office add-on on the Microsoft website – it only seems to be available in Word.
