I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Um.

However, it won't go into Bank Of America.

The BOA technical requirements specify Netscape 6.2 is supported, so it's probably just a case of bad browser sniffing. You can try the user agent switcher extension to see if that'll get you in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I see what Jessica meant about the extension downloading. Nice in principle, but exhausting.

And now it's refusing to go to some sites, period. Connections are being refused.

I'll try it again at home.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Right-left-right with the right button depressed (like a Z, but all at one height) closes the active window, for instance.

Wow, that's pretty cool! Although I swear I'd be accidentally closing windows left and right. Well, I suppose I don't keep the right button depressed as I swish around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

See, I've been memorizing the Mozilla/Firefox keyboard shortcuts, not the mouse shortcuts. So I'm going the wrong way....

Normally I'm all about the keyboard shortcuts, but in an app where you have links in unpredictable places, I try and avoid the keyboard as much as possible. Or at least separate the mousing chunks from the keying chunks.

Wolfram, I don't remember where you live, but I always go to Craigslist for used computers. There are some really good deals if you're careful not to get scammed.

Apparently I've been living in a box. Craigslist is awesome! The sad thing is, everyone else I know has heard of it and just assumed I knew about it already. Thanks Jessica!

I went through that with my brother last week, Wolfram, although it was Angie's List he was assuming I'd heard of, not Craigslist. Sadly, Angie's List is subscription only, and isn't in California yet anyway.

Sigh. Once they believe you know everything, they stop telling you anything.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I adore Craigslist. It got me my apt. this summer.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Mac OSX question I'm having touble defining correctly for a google or apple search.

In OSX, you can turn on "internet connection sharing." Then you hook up other Macs and PC's to the Mac or to a hub connected to the Mac.

Fine and dandy if you want to use DHCP internally. I want to use static IP addresses on the internal network.

Most articles I find tall jme how to connect the *External* network with a static IP, and again assume I will be using DHCP interneally.

I want to do this on 10.3, but I can't find any settings for such an action without going for a third-party solution.

Basically, it's a matter of me already having a stable network with static ips, and I want to be able to boot into OSX and have the same stable shared network on the master machine.

Any help would be appreciated.
