hip deep in pie

Buy.com currently has them for $323.99 (USD).

Hmm. I wonder if I can buy from there, and still have a warrranty.

Fie! I can't even buy from buy.com. Stupid international borders!

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

Anyone have recommendations for web-sites that will create .gif buttons (to be used for a web site) for you?

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Tommy, if you tell me what you want, I could probably make them for you.

Well, there's about a dozen buttons I'll need, and then my boss will probably want changes, and then the client will probaby want changes, so it's probably easier if I do them myself. Thanks anyway, though.

Okay, but if you change your mind, I don't mind doing it.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What would you be giving the web site? Are you looking to convert existing graphics to .gifs, or are you looking for a graphic designer?

There are sites that will custom create a .gif button for you - you just go through a step-by-step process where it askes you the style, size, color, font, text, etc.

I'd rather use Paintshop Pro or The Gimp myself, but my boss thinks it would be faster to do it online. Here's one such site: [link]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Apple people, I have a question:

One of my colleagues brings her laptop (an Apple) to our meetings all the time. And she's always typing in an application that seems to be some kind of note-taking application. There are pull-down menus and then when she selects something, a little colored screen pops up and she types in it.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? If I see a screencap, I'll know what it is. I'm trying to find out more about this app but don't want to appear as if I'm all up in my colleague's business.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I've seen that type of program, LeN -- like Post-Its for your computer, right? I think there are several versions out there.

[eta: Googling sticky notes computer brings up a ton of results.]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Is it the sticky notes application that comes with the Mac?
