Is it possible to get an RSS feed (using Firefox) for my LJ flist? I can only figure out how to get a feed for my own entries, which, you know, I already know.
Buffistechnology 2: You Made Her So She Growls?
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Gmail looks like it may be going wide very soon. I was on the waiting list for a gmail account since May and I finally got an invitation to join the service.
I got one today, too. Not that I plan to use it (someone else already scarfed up "dxmachina@gmail.com"), but hey, not feeling as left out.
I'm posting wirelessly too. I think Steph and I set up the same modem on the same day.
Hey, quick question...my PC is running suspiciously slow, and although I have all the typical protections, I think I may need to root out some spyware.
Recs on the best free downloadable one(s)?
Get Spy-bot and AdAware, and use them both.
Gotta love freeware named Palantir.
Nonian: There is a hacksy way that involves loading your flist with a custom theme, if you are a Paid member. I can try to find it for you, if you want, but it may be a little tricky to get working. I've never tried to use it, as I only very recently went Paid and my flist has lots of drabble communities.
ETA: [link] it doesn't work too well with protected entries, unfortunately, but seems to work for normal ones, assuming one is paid.
I needed to replace the lithium batteries in my Apple WiFi Bluetooth optical mouse after about 7 weeks. Is this normal? (The batteries I replaced were the ones that came with the mouse, so they could have been sitting on the shelf for a bit.) When the Cube goes to sleep, it seems to send the mouse to sleep too, so I would think the mouse would use little power then.
I think the batteries cost $7 or $8 for a pair of AA.
eta: anyone want a 450 mhz PII cpu? (motherboard is dead.)
Thanks, Nova, but I don't have a paid account. It would have been a nice feature, but I really don't *need* it.
anyone want a 450 mhz PII cpu?
Tom, if no one else wants it, I can swap it in for the PII-350 on my #2 machine.
