Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Me want puter!

Maybe I could even bring it to her when she and I meet IRL at the end of April [tentative].

Funny I was just thinking same.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Funny I was just thinking same.

What are the odds? What are the odds?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Mac people with many gadgets! (coughNDcough)

I'm thinking about finally getting a PDA. Maybe. Have y'all found that iSync works as promised with PalmOne critters (and that said critters do well with iCal files?) Or have there been glitches, models to avoid, etc yadda blah blah?

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

This is a desperate cry for help - is there anyone who's worked with changing properties of an HTML pull-down menu with Javascript? When I try to change the outerHTML property of a pull-down menu Javascript object variable, things get wonky and the pull-down menu looses its value and using Javascript to set the value no longer works - it's as if the object variable looses its reference to the actual pull-down menu or something?

eta: IE 6.0

I've been running iSync with a Treo 600 and now a Treo 650, which are both PalmOS creatures and use the Palm Conduit with iSync. Works pretty much as advertised. The only disconnect is with events that span multiple days on iCal. They only turn up as a no-time event on the first day in the Palm.

Thanks, ND! Just the kind of thing I was hoping to hear.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

I need some networking help. Currently, the broadband connection in our house is in another bedroom, with the cable modem going to a wireless B router so my laptop and Tivo can get a signal, while wired connections run off the back of the router to another Tivo and to a desktop.

Once my shiny new Dell Dimension XPS arrives in about two weeks, I want to move the cable modem and router to this side of the house so I can plug directly into broadband and utilize the connection's full speed.

I could always get two more wireless USB adapters like the one currently attached to the first Tivo and hook the second Tivo and other desktop into the network that way. However, if I wanted to use the existing wired connections, am I right in concluding that I would need a wireless bridge and then a switch? (Or a combo bridge/switch, of course. It looks like two adapters might generally be cheaper, though.)

I'm still looking through my piles of technology. I've got my old Treo 600 here, anyone interested in buying it? I'm thinking $225 for it. It's a GSM model.

Mostly lurking...

So, I've got a livejournal question. I'm logged in, but it only lets me see the unlocked friends posts. I don't think *everyone* has unfriended me since earlier this morning. Is anyone else having this problem? Or do you know why it might be happening?

On edit: I've tried logging out and logging back in, closing and opening a new browser and rebooting the computer.
