Me and many of my co-workers were having trouble specifically with gmail/google today, even though we're in NYC.
I guess it was a particular ISP: [link] though doubt it was necessarily comcast.
Zoe: Uh huh. River, honey? He's putting the hair away now. River: It'll still be there... waiting.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
My TIVO is gaslightintg me. It says it will be recording VM on Tuesday. But down at the bottom of the list ( where season passes with no shows are listed ) it says "non schedualed". Is this becasue I told it to record on CW before I chnaged my season pass from WB?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have two season passes? Where does it say it will be recording it?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
nope only onefor cw and it says it will be recording at the proper schedualed time . I think I told i t to do it manually before I put in the new season pass.

Yeah, it's trying to reconcile what it interprets as two different requests, I think.
Which reminds me that I have to go check through my own Season Passes....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The new version of Firefox will alert users when they go to a known fraudulant site.
There's also good news for Mom: Firefox 2.0 has some really great anti-phishing measures built in. Look at what happened when I clicked on a PayPal "update your account" email link (click to enlarge):
The above link details other cool new features....

What instant messenger program do y'all recommend as a catch-all (specifically for MSN messenger and AIM) for Windows? Was using Adium on the Mac, just got a work (windows) laptop to use while mine is being fixed, and want to know what program to get...

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

Coding and Sleeping
I hear good things about Trillian.
I don't use it myself, though. Don't need any other clients for work and don't run Windows at home.
Edit: Exact X-Post

I also use Trillian at work.
