Beau has printing software that says: "printing started" and "Printing completed"
I HATE IT. I always look up and think "who is that strange man in my house commenting on printing?"

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 turned on spoken alerts once. I turned them off five minutes later.
ION, b.org looks cool in Pocket IE. For some reason the user titles are bigger than the notmal text. It's fun.

Next question -- I want to use htaccess to redirect calls
This will do the trick (in subdir/.htaccess):
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /rss.xml RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.rss [L,R,NC]
Actually, I just went with
redirect /rss/rss.xml >[link]And it looks okay. Is there a client usability difference between the two?
And it looks like I spoke too soon for Bloglines -- is anyone familiar enough with the RSS standard that they can tell me if the file itself is being checked for a last changed time? Or is it bloglines that's working it's own way?
Skipping a hundred or more posts to ask: Is there a reason I'd come home and find my TiVo cycling between a grey screen that says "Welcome. Powering up...." and a screen with the TiVo cartoon that says "Almost there! Just a few minutes more..."? Is there something I should do about that? It's been maybe 15 minutes since I got home, and it's entirely possible there was some sort of power failure while I was gone...but I doubt it was coincidentally just a few minutes before I got home! Which means this may have been going on for some time...
Actually, I just went with
redirect /rss/rss.xml >[link]And it looks okay. Is there a cleint usability difference between the two?Oh sure, take the easy way. The only thing I'd suggest with that is make it a permanent redirect:
redirect permanent /rss/rss.xml >[link]
Thanks, Eddie. It's all academic until I resolve the client updating issue -- I'm tinkering with guids now.
Digital SLRs get cheaper and cheaper.
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.
Pfft. you can turn it off.
XP has talking printer dialogs, too.
Oh yeah, here's a *theoretical* question.
If one were to somehow, hypothetically speaking, get one's hands on a supposed OSX for Intel install DVD, what format would be used on the drive one possibly might have under such alleged circumstances? Fat32? HFS+? NTFS? Linux?
I keep lusting after the digital SLRs. I'm planning on buying one in the next month or two. I'm leaning towards the Canon EOS 20D at the moment. In the meantime I just upgraded my pocket size camera. I've been shooting with a 2 megapixel Canon A40 and I'm now the proud owner of a 4 megapixel, ultra tiny Canon SD300.
