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 really should have bought a new home laptop a long time ago. But then, it would already be outdated, huh?
Guess I am really enjoying this shiny new one, with its Window 7. I bought Outlook 2007 at Costco and love how Plaxo syncs it up for me. I tried to do without it, since it didn't come with MS Home Premium or whatever it is I bought, but I really need to be able to see my full calendar.
Now I really want my workplace to upgrade to Win 7 and Outlook 2007. It isn't going to happen anytime soon.

Wow, I have no idea how I ended up posting that in this thread. Did I got drinking and not remember?
I was wondering how that was a tech thing.

Typesetting, word processing; it's all technology.

Based on this sentence construction, I sense limes in your vicinity.
A lime is a terrible thing to waste.
I'm sensing another long lime of bad puns in this thread too.
Web design question:
I don't really understand CSS all that well. I'm trying to put a background image in a certain cell in a table. I got to work without using CSS, and now I want to do it using CSS.
Without CSS, the TD tag starts like this:
<td class='hrReg' style="background: #ffffff url(images/corner.gif) no-repeat right" >
Then I created a new entry in the style sheet which is the same as the 'hrReg' style but with this added:
background: #ffffff url(images/corner.gif) no-repeat right;
Then I changed the 'hrReg' class to the new style. That doesn't work. What am I missing?
eta: Nebbermind - got it to work. The file path in the CSS document has to be relative to the CSS file, not the file the table and stuff is on.
Anyone know of a free PDF editor for OSX? All I really need to do is delete extraneous pages from an existing document.
[eta: nevermind - apparently Preview can do this.]
Can someone help me with an XSL issue?
I have an XSL doc that starts like this:
<xsl:template match="/">
<employees>
<xsl:for-each select="xml/rs:data/z:row[not(@Status)]">
So it's supposed to find each unique employee name. What it's doing is apparantly conflating an employee named "Garcia, Joe A" with one named "Garcia, Joe J"
Help!
eta: Fuck! This works perfectly fine on our development server, but not on the client's production server.
eta²: And it works fine on the client's development server as well. Someone shoot me.
eta: For those following along at home, I got this to fail on our development system. Yay failure!
eta: Solved it. It was bad data. Bad data that came that way from an Oracle database that we have nothing to do with (other than importing its data into our system).
