Anyone know a good, free MSI editor (not Orca)? Does anyone know any good (user-friendly) and free MSI authoring packages? I've seen Advanced Installer, but its free edition misses out on some features I'd like to use. izfree isn't that good, either.

Stack Overflow (not the bug) Anyone else here using Stack Overflow, now that it's in public beta? I know there's some hate here at Spolsky and Atwood, but still... So who's using it and what's your profile link? (Here's mine.) What do you think about it?

Second Life, the creation of a crazed stalker So has anyone else heard yet about the woman who tried to kidnap a guy she met on Second Life? WTF? Excuse me for laughing my ass off about the whole thing, but it's not the first time she's tried it. However, I do believe it's the first time...

Hey Aussies, you'll be getting Fallout 3 after all! Too bad it'll be censored, though. So you'll probably still torrent it anyway. I think all the game developers in Australia should move to the South and freak Atkinson into quitting, or something. Or start shaming him with PSAs in games that show...
