But why was it working before?
But I will take a look at what's in the start up and take out a few things.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Can anyone recommend simple, web-based software for scheduling resources, like group study rooms in a library? Open-source would be great, but they might be willing to pay to purchase something if it was a good fit. Alternately, is this something that would be easy for a decent coder to write for us?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There's ORS [link] with the disclaimer that I know nothing about it beyond the fact that it's on the first page of google results.
Also, this sounds familiar somehow....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
UNEASYsilence is proud to announce the release of ToasterClone - the classic flying toasters screensaver raised from the ashes, recompiled, and redistributed for your own personal use.
I never got to use the flying toasters back in the day, although I envied those who did....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow. Just got quite the pang of nostalgia.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Now, if they could make some of the toasters to look like #6...

Safety question. I'm replacing an old wired doorbell with a wireless one. I can snip the old live wires (with rubber handled snips, one at a time) so I have foreshortened live wires in the hold, then cover with the plate of the new doorbell (which uses a battery). Is this safe? The unconnected live wires are basically what a socket is yes?

My boss (who used to be an electronics engineer) says that this is fine, except that you should cap off the live wires.

Doorbells are low-voltage wiring, so there shouldn't be a problem. You might want to tape the ends or put on those wire end things. To be perfectly safe, you can always take the wires off the transformer.

Hey. New board.
So, I've got an interesting problem. For putting grades into the Board of Ed computer system, the software we use creates some Excel spreadsheets for us to fill out. The first several columns are unchangeable things like student name, course name, room number, and so forth. These columns are, sensibly, protected - can't be edited without a password.
For some reason, though, on my Excel: Mac 2004 (and the same version on a friend's Mac), the protection extends to the cells we should be able to edit. Like, the ones where we're supposed to enter the grades.
Any idea what could be causing that? I have no idea what the password is.
