All is well that ends in pizza.

It sounds like one of the cards in the box downstream is going bad. The tech will be able to clear that up with a mad dash up the pole, or maybe pulling a card in a box somewhere.

Unless it's my house, then it'll take severl months and seventeen phone calls before someone believes I have cable issues.

This is why I don't have cable any more.

I'm trying to reload Azureus, and keep getting told I need to have port 50678 UDB open. I tried going to my Security and adding the port, but it asks me for a name, and I don't have that.

I just want some TV, man!

Help?

Is it too much to ask to find clean, dare I say it, hip, interesting clip art to update my ezine? I've slogged through what seems like hundreds of sites looking for simple designs (not photos) and now I'm overwhelmed.

Anybody have any favorite resources?

I found some images I liked at my email campaign (Constant Contact) site, but they are the wrong color. Curses.

Security and adding the port, but it asks me for a name, and I don't have that.

Call it Fred?

I was thinking Velma. But it appears to be working.

Silly responses aside, I have a question of my own.

If one had an AVI and wanted to edit it on a Windows XP machine, what software would be able to make easy edits? Remove a segment from a film or TV show, and make it a seperate avi file, for example.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

but they are the wrong color

Beej, can't you just change the color? I'd do it for you, if you don't have the software.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Daniel, I think you're supposed to be able to do that with Windows Movie Maker.

The problem with WMM is that it imports the original video with arbitrary scene slices, and not a clean single file.

I wish I had a newer Mac to do this in. It's frustrating.

I'll try it again.

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

Eddie, I don't have an xstartup in ~/.vnc -- just .log, .pid and passwd. I did a find / -name xstartup and came up blank, in fact.

Do I need to create one, and if so, whereinhell do I start?
