'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Well, I don't necessarily need the thing to talk... but I wouldn't mind a Hello Kitty Vacuum cleaner.

And my mom would never let me have the cutesy pink toys I wanted that all matched. So now that I am a grown-up, I can have them.

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

The VCC402CTU and VCC402HTU models will talk to you to when the power mode is being manually altered and when the bin is ready to change.

That's...odd. Mine just lights up.

Though a talking Roomba might be fun.

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

Though a talking Roomba might be fun.

I want one to say, "Dude, you produce a lot of dust for one person."

Or, "Can I vacuum the cat? Can I? Can I?"

Or, "Dust! Yay! Thank you for making a simple Roomba very happy!"

Chainmail iPod skin: [link]

You know, so you can sword-fight while listening to your favorite tunes....

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

Isn't the point of iPod skins to protect them from getting scratched?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A not inconsiderable part of iPod skins is to look cool, I'm sure.

Besides, you gotta have a skin to match your chainmail bikini....

eta: But the site did say that new versions of the chainmail skin would have a lining in the inside to prevent scratching....

Turns out bloglines didn't like the extension. Now that I've done a ForceType so I can name the php file .rss, it looks fine.

Next question -- I want to use htaccess to redirect calls to subdir/rss.xml to /index.rss (which is really php). What directive do I need in the subdir/.htaccess? I won't need to change /.htaccess (which already does the ForceTyping just fine) will I?

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

I do not want objects talking to me. That creeps me right the fuck out.

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

Yup. Yesterday, our marketing assistant walked away from her Mac after setting up a print job. There was a printer error, and the frelling thing started announcing the error to the entire office, scaring our receptionist.

I really hate Steve Jobs.
