Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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!

Gris,

my fave greasemonkey scripts are gmail ones:

1) auto-bcc 2) saved searches 3) spamcount hide

There is also a cool one for amazon.com:

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I bet it was. I would like to go someday, myself, but I'd need to not do it alone.

Years ago, when he was first working on the Navajo reservation, the SO and a buddy of his went out driving looking for...Leupp, I guess. They never found it, although they talked to some of the elderlies in the area that remembered it.

Anyway, no apologies necessary, I was glad to see the pics, just hard to handle!

My IBM InfoPrint20 won't print envelopes. It errs out, saying it's got a paper jam. I thought it was just a problem with the aux tray, but I bought an envelope specific cartridge & tray for it, and it has the same problem. Gah. Guess I should have bought a maintenance contract, huh?

Does anyone know how to make Greasemonkey do that thing were you can just click a button on your toolbar and make other people's LJ formats readable like yours?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Ha! I have a G3 Powerbook with a dead HD.

hmmm...

Suela, I don't know about a button on your toolbar, but I've used this one in the past and liked it enough: [link] The only problem I had with it was that it seemed to require you to load the LJ page in question, and then it would re-load it in your style, which I found frustrating. But I haven't used it in awhile, and that may have changed.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks for the advice, SA. I think Home Shopping Network is like monkey crack or something, making me want to buy things!

Coding and Sleeping

lori, I lost some photos once quite awhile ago and used a program to recover them quite successfully, but unfortunately I don't remember what it was. The one I used was some command line freeware I think. Anyhow a Google search turns up a lot of choices.

I imagine that a lot of them have free trials so you can see if it works before buying one to have handy or maybe there will be a free one you can use.

No problem, Sophia. Come back if you have more questions!

lori, I agree with Gud--there are a couple of programs, like Undelete (I think! it's been awhile since I used it) that allow you to see the files on a disk after the file tree has been trashed, which is what it sounds like is happening with yours. It might be worth downloading Pathfinder, too (free 21 day trial, but worth every penny of purchase) just to see if the files are hidden on the disk or not, which the finder won't show you. Here's another search string on google that might help you find useful software: [link]

Thanks Gud and SA! A work friend just gave me a copy of Data Rescue X and I'm gonna try that today. I've already tried it on a different flash drive and recovered files from last July!

t eta it worked! Data Rescue X saves the day! And I didn't even have to pay for it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Any Canadianistas around? We're trying to equip our Toronto office, only apparently nobody in Canada sells professional A/V equipment. Or watches TV.

Is there ANYWHERE in Canada where one can buy a multi-standard DVD player??? (We need to buy in-country for tax reasons -- otherwise we'd just get everything in NYC and ship it up.)
