Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

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

Anyone have recommendations for web-sites that will create .gif buttons

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?

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

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.

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?

Does it look like this?

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

Rob,

it does not look like that exactly. Rather, I've only seen her have one colored window open at one time. Maybe I'll go to the google link and hunt. I've never seen that sticky notes app have that long-ass drop down menu that my colleague was using.

Okay, I think I found the app. More about that later. Have you seen this gmail program?

GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google GMail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your GMail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.
