Yup. I tried the earthlink software, years ago, and ditched it straightaway. I've moved on to greener pastures since then, but I was always happy with earthlink.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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!

I found Open Office really annoying in a couple of ways. For one, I can't do the edits to files I want to make in order to clean them up to drop into an HTML template. Open Office doesn't allow you to select hard carriage returns, for instance--they're not recognize the same way Word does.
That said, it's way cheaper than MS Office, so I'll struggle along with Open Office and my beta of Office 2007 (which I still don't like much).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I need some lj help.
Over the last month I've found that certain styles of journal won't load properly for me. I get the first screen's worth of entry, but can't scroll down. Any ideas why this is happening?(My browser is Netscape 7.0 for the Mac)

Suela, what's the exact s&r clean up you do? I was able to get it to find and replace paragraph tags using regular expressions ($), though it took me a couple passes to nuke them all. ETA: [link]

3D effects with Beryl on Linux are kinda cool.

Apparently they really like the cube thing. It does make switching between virtual desktops pretty cool, but I'm not sure about the functionality of just moving it around.

OMG, Plei, thank you! I looked and looked for that, and was utterly lost in the help files, there was nothing there.
I was doing some cludgy html prep, adding br to every paragraph break to keep the formatting when I dropped the story into my standard page setup. t defensive I don't know any other way to do it, and I'm sure there's a better way, but this works fine and it's simple and the page loads fine and I don't really care if it's the cleanest code ever. t /defensive

De nada!
I knew it had to be in there somewhere, but their documentation is a sad, sad thing. I'll have to use it, too, when I get back into the groove of moving all my fic into WordPress.
