Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Does anyone have Hotmail, AND within Hotmail you've set up custom folders? (Like, one for work, one for family, one for mailing lists.)

If yes to both of those -- did all the messages in your custom folders disappear???

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The latest version of InDesign has a PageMaker compatability mode, if you want to, you know, upgrade to 1990s software technology.

No, I don't. I like PageMaker, and it works fine in Classic mode. Why should I fucking buy a new program just for a few extra bells and whistles? It's bad enough I have to deal with an ad agency that only uses Quark.

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

It's funny because it's true.

Ouch. I swear that if I get my lost e-mails back, I'll save them to my hard drive....and then switch to gmail as my primary account.

So, lovely tech-heads, where should I go for decent web hosting for my little fic site? Angelfire is turning off my fanbase with its pop-ups.

And could that sentence sound any more arrogant?

I have a domain name for the site already.

Connie, I've been happy with Host For Web. They're fairly reasonable, and have been up on a steady basis for most of the time I've been with them. (Outages that I'm aware of have all been of the planned variety.)

What about Go Daddy's hosting? They're offering 3.95 a month, 3.16 (ish) if you pay a year ahead.

That might be who SA's going through, and I think she's been happy with her hosting.

I'd suggest cross-posting this in your LJ--you'll get a good cross-section of ficcish folk who can give you the skinny on who they've liked.

Our wings are not tired.

I've been happy with ICDSoft. $5 a month I think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The green light on the front of my Tivo that's usually on is flashing (very slowly -- like, off for 5 seconds then on for one), and it's not showing anything on the TV screen, except sometimes a brief flash of light. Anybody know what's going on?
