which I still don't like much
I'm not looking forward to it, I tell you what.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

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!

Open Office doesn't allow you to select hard carriage returns, for instance--they're not recognize the same way Word does.
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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Were you using OO to format your files for recal? I thought you were using a different program.
Also, when I moved everything to WP, I went to my website and just copy and pasted all the test into the text box. Easier for me than wading through coding, since WP does it for you all over again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Random question: Does it matter if I turn my computer off or not? It's a laptop that goes into snooze mode or whatever.

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 don't know.
Sorry, for a long time I've been tempted to 'answer' a Buffistech question that way. And actually, that question has crossed my mind recently, as my iBook was not allowed to sleep (it would crash when it woke up) but my MacBook sleeps without a problem. So I pretty much only reboot it when it needs to be (updates, etc).
Um, there's still no point for this post, is there?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do remember hearing that you reduce the life of some of the components by powering on and off. How this rates against the reduction in life of other components, I couldn't tell you.
Boy, we're helpful today.
