I don't know but there was often a hum/buzz that didn't show up on DVDs, so I didn't know if it was the TV or the DVR. It seemed like it was getting worse and I contempated replacing either or both. I tried different connections, but nothing worked until I used both the audio/video inputs and the RF (Is that it? The basic cable that used to be used on VCRs back in the day) input. No idea why, but there's no more buzz.

Typo, back to your Word question -- it used to be that you could create your own toolbar icons with specific functions that you specified. Unfortunately I don't have Word to play with, but I can remember doing it. I hope you can Google it successfully.

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

You can create custom ribbons in Word and other Office 2007 programs. However, you must create them using XML. (At least in Access, anyway.)

The inelegant solution, if there's just one or two things you want to add, is to stick them up in the Quick Access bar. That is customizable.

I thought that you couldn't change the ribbon in Word. Believe me, I would like to. I'm wasting valuable real estate on stuff I don't use or want.

Here's a Microsoft link on how to customize the Ribbon in Word:

Yeah, you gotta download this little application and then customize some XML.

eta: Actually, you don't need to download the application, but it does make it easier.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I need a listserv manager. My web host used to provide one, but now they want me to use a neutered version or pay to upgrade. Yeah, no. I have fewer than a hundred subscribers, no odds it'll rise above 500, and I need exactly two lists. No way I'm paying buckeroos for that level of management.

What should I use? Mailman? Majordomo? I've been out of this field for a while.

Oh, and what weblog analyzer did you end up using, ita?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmmm. It looks like maybe I should try phplist. Anyone have advice about it?

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

Web Log Expert. Turns out that's what I'd had, not WebTrends. Now, if I can just get them to track me down in their customer database so I don't have to buy it again...
