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!

You'd think that forcing the type to be text/css via the link command I used above would work, no?

It looks like I'm going to have to change .htaccess in Apache. I'm trying that now. I'm about to pound a hole in my desk with my head.

The dynamic HTML book I have claims that the type in the link tag is just telling the browser what to expect. It looks like Firefox is getting pissy about being lied to. Safari says "Like, whatever".

It seems odd to me that the web server isn't already configured to return text/css for files ending in .css.

Oh, read this for an easier way around the problem.

It's not odd when your hosting company is insane. We're moving the site next week to a dedicated server. At least all the weirdness will then be our fault.

Daniel, thanks for the reply. Sorry I stepped away...all day. Basically, having the upgrade be so tedious was the final hammer blow on a nail of frustration that I've been pounding on for awhile now. I lost it, then pulled myself together and decided to wait until after hostig my rpg today...one of the players is an electronics genius. As a result, I'm good to go! And a bit overwhelmed by having all these new toys to play with...

Sorry for the fruitless venting. And thanks for the support.

Hey, now that I'm loading all this new stuff...especially the newest versions of things...does it make sense to uninstall anything? The old OS...Works, etc.

Also? Any fave widgets I just have to have? Or particularly fun or helpful apps?

I can't believe I have the latest stuff...for once...and of course, only for the next 10 minutes. But still, new stuff!!

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

I can't remember if someone was asking specifically about this, but maybe this info will be usefull for someone....

The Grinn Productions blog has written up a tutorial for incorporating Google Calendar with Microsoft Outlook. Why might you want to do that?

Well, if you're the author it's because "not even Google can integrate a web-page to your Bluetooth phone." So, using an open source program called Remote Calendars, the post details how to set up Outlook with Google Calendar to do just that. Keep in mind that you still can't synchronize appointments from Outlook to GCal, but this is still a very cool way to squeeze a little more out of Google Calendar. If you don't like the look of this but you still want to sync Google Calendar with your phone, you might also want to try out previously-mentioned GcalSync, which actually offers a two-way sync for supported phones. — Adam Pash
