FWIW,
I use FEBE to backup my Firefox profile and transfer extensions to a new computer. I backup my firefox profile 2x a month or so.
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's tied to you. But you'll need the software's serial # to reinstall.
I have that! OK, I'll hang onto that.
I did reformat and that went fine... Oh, but if I need to download something, I'll have to reinstall the modem software, huh. Meh.

Trust my rage
Yesterday, after driving through an area of no signal, my iPhone became convinced that it is an hour ahead of the actual time. (as in, it's 12:57 here but my phone thinks it's 1:47.) I have tried turning it off and syncing it with no luck. Any other ideas? It's weird because I haven't left this time zone in over a week.

Stephanie's phone is from the future! Pass it on.

She's out of phase! I think there was a solution for this on Star Trek, either you have to use tachyons or reverse polarity, maybe both.

And a transporter, and Data. Or some red matter.
However, if my goatee vanishes and I start being NICE, I'm going to be CRANKY.

It wasn't the rez messing with you, was it, Steph? 'Cause Navajo doesn't observe daylight savings, so it would be on Pac time...oh, wait, that's the wrong direction. I have no idea.

I actually thought about that - but we weren't anywhere near there.
eta: that was to Liese. I like the star trek ideas but alas, I have to tachyon field or anything else.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I figured. Oh well, no clue.
Today I am being eaten starting with my behind by my printer. My BRAND NEW PRINTER.
Which, being also an HP, is still refusing to acknowledge the presence of my computer. I can ping it, I can get to its config page through the ip address, I install it through Windows' add printer. I can print to it. I can get status on it.
Oh, and it works flawlessly on the SO's newer than mine laptop, which is also running Vista.
But I can't run HP's software, which says there's no appropriate device connected, and I can't scan from it to my computer. And I can't do the photo stuff, either, nothing that involves the printer seeing the computer.
So far I've reinstalled, levelled up the uninstalls to the point of HPs 4th level cleanup, dinked around in regedit to kill its registry entries, manually killed all the folders, deleted the port, and reinstalled again. Nada.
It is to pull the hair out.
