Hmm - I think I'm stuck with the modem Cablevision gave me (since it's also where our phone service comes in), but I should check and see what brand it is so I can get a router that matches.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We are not particularly happy with our D-Link router.

I have T-Mobile pay as you go service, which has been fine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Two questions: Where do people recommend as a good PostgreSQL learning resource? Is there a PostgreSQL equivalent to SQLyog?

Um. Sean? I was joking too. Totally being snarky and silly right backatcha. Sorry it didn't come off. I posted with extreme snark pre-coffee. That was my first mistake, I think.

Okay. I'm having a oversensitive day, apparently. Nevermind, then. Sorry about the off-topic.

I'm having Airport Express issues.

I plugged it in, plugged the USB printer in, and ran the Airport Setup Utility so it would connect to our home network.

Now, not only can I not find the printer on the network, I can't even find the freaking Airport. The setup utility can't find it either as an existing Airport on the network, or as a new one to install.

WTF?

[eta - FINALLY! All hail the hard reset.]

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Looking at the phones on Virgin Mobile's website, some use "Superphonic Ringtones" and some use "Real Music Ringtones". Anyone know what audio formats these are?

t edit More poking around the Virgin Mobile website seems to indicate that "Superphonic" and "Real Music" are the same thing. But I still would like to know the audio format. Are they just mp3s?

Still more poking about indicates that they can in fact be mp3s, as well as several other formats. Yippee!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool. I have never bothered to mess with my ringtones, so I know nothing about it. But I've always wanted to use something from Philip Glass's Einstein on the Beach as a ringtone....
