You have no idea, Professor. I was browsing what I thought was the usual portfolio of young ladies in bathing costumes -- a mostly innocent pastime I'm sure you'll agree -- when the most indescribably terrible sight met my eyes. The face was in part human, but this unspeakably alien... I... I can't go on.
Technical victories

The solutions were 1) completely and utterly disable Spotlight and 2) turn off syncing the iDisk. So I had to disable two useful features of my operating system because they were buggy and painful, but at least I'm not swearing at top volume every 15 minutes.
Second, Jeff Eaton was kind enough to post on his blog the solution to a horrible Photoshop problem I'd been having. All my pictures would look lovely in Photoshop and then get washed out and crappy as soon as I saved them as web-optimized jpegs to put on Flickr, etc. I couldn't figure out what the hell was happening, and it was making me something something. Turns out there was a bad preference in the "view" menu in Photoshop under "proofing". End of problem.
Man, it's like taking a rock out of each shoe.
