Dumb Windows (XP) question: I attacked a USB drive to my work computer - it recognized the new hardware but it was not mounted with a drive letter. The first letter available was 'T', with a bunch of networked drives on drive letters 'E' through 'S'. I then unmounted the first network drive and plugged the USB drive in again and it worked. So, does it not work to have a network drive letter that's lower than your USB drive?

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

Can someone go here and see if they can get to the Trip Planner. When I click it, it gets hung up and never goes to the page. I am trying to figure out if it is just Firefox or a problem with the site.

Can you use the box on the right side of the page to get the info you need?
ETA: Meant to say the that page is still trying to load for me (IE) so I don't think it's you.

I'm not sure, but I've experienced similar happenings with USB drives and external zips and CD-ROMs in the past. Also, sometimes funky things happen with drive letters, where Windows expects to assign a specific letter to a specifc device, and if that letter isn't available, it simply won't assign it one. D and E are big ones for this and so we normally only map drives to F and beyond here at work.

Thanks brenda. The box on the side doesn't load either. Ah well. I'll try again tomorrow, I guess.

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

I've seen the same behavior. What I usually do is unplug the device with the lowest drive letter, then plug in the new device and assign it the drive letter I want it to have.

Well maybe you should consider not attacking your work computer like that!
After randomly trying for about the sixth time to hope that sticking the AirPort card in again would fix it...it did. So I am back with wireless (thank goodness, as this hotel is wifi, not ethernet!)

Kalshane--I'm going to mark your post and try more things tomorrow. (And if I can make my printer work -- I may try to make my coworker's printer (it's the same same sort of printer as mine) work.

Forecastfox
Greasemonkey (I use scripts on other websites including gmail and bloglines)
Adblock Plus and Adblock FiltersetG Updater
Gmail Manager (which I like a lot better than Gmail notifier)
Google Calendar Notifier
dragdropupload
Google Browser Sync
Scrapbook (which is so awesome, I paid the creater $$ for this extension)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, I googled and I'll ask here.
I want to set the kids in my class up with blogging, with either an aggregate classroom account or individual accounts (not sure which yet).
I need some sort of client for Macs. What I'd love is something that requires me (as opposed to the kids) to approve the postings before they get posted. I don't know if that's possible.
Does anybody know stuff about blogging clients?
