Not Without My QC
I've meticulously noted everything I need to do before leaving on my trip to the US but I just realised that I forgot one thing.
I've been meaning to replace my Bose QuietComfort ANC headphones. I bought a pair of the first generation product back three years ago and they've made a huge difference during the hundreds of hours I've spent in planes since then. However, after three years of abuse, they are on their last legs.
I want to buy a pair of the second generation QuietComfort 2 headphones. Problem is, I have no idea where I can buy them (in person, they won't have time to be shipped) in Perth.

Quoting charset
My reading of RFCs 2068 (section 3.7) and 3023 (section 8.1) suggests that mimetype parameters can be quoted so that:
text/html;charset="utf-8"
should be the same as
text/html;charset=utf-8
However, numerous browsers (including Firefox) seem to only recognize the latter and not the former.
Have I misread the RFCs or are the browsers wrong?

Sciral Consistency
Via Jenni, Sciral Consistency:
Calendars are great for keeping track of tasks where you need to coordinate with others by setting fixed times and intervals.To-do lists are great for keeping track of tasks that you will do once, and that you need to keep in order by priority.
But there's another class of activities for which neither traditional calendars nor to-do lists are optimal. If you already use a calendar and a to-do list, you're probably trying to wedge these tasks into those tools, without realizing that they really call for a new kind of tool. Sciral Consistency is that tool.
Looks promising—I'll report how I go using it.
