You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Hey. New board.

For future reference:

If you get addicted to two large monitors and have to drop back to one for financial/other reasons, the easiest way to adjust is to spend a couple of weeks using nothing but a tiny laptop screen.

Then, when you move back to the single large monitor, it feels like infinite screen real estate.

Hey. New board.

Okay, this is fricking cool.

Oh google, how I love thee.

Griswold,

that link doesn't work for me. I see Google, but I can't personalize it.

Huh. Weird. It works perfectly with Safari. Usually, things go the other direction.

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

Works in Opera. That's not so common.

iTunes question -- in Windows when I select some songs in a playlist or library I can drag the MP3s to my desktop or another folder.

In OS X, can I do the same, to effectively (and easily) copy a playlist's worth of MP3s to a CD? Is there a simpler way?

Hey. New board.

Two ways. You can burn mp3 cds directly in iTunes from a playlist (edit your "Burn" preferences to mp3 cd) though that loses directory structure and stuff if you care about that. Or, you can do exactly the same thing: drag songs from iTunes to your desktop, they appear. I think it's a copy, not a move, though it might be worth double-checking.

I think I'll instruct him to do the former, then, since I'm not Mac-savvy enough to talk him through dragging the stuff to the right place.

Thanks!

does anybody know a good FREE web interface for IRC? I'm suspicious of just googling IRC web interface because I'm worried about picking up spyware, etc., from skeevy sites.

I just purchased this Remote Control. I'm pretty sure it's the most intelligent entity in the house now. I'll be programming it shortly.
