Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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.

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

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...

I've used it. Works great! (esp. for the price)

Hey, does anyone know the formal name for those strips that you use if wires have to cross a room? They're made of heavy rubber or plastic and they have a slit in the underside. I need to buy one and I'm trying to find it online "floor strip" isn't getting me any love.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've heard both "cord cover" and "cable guard".
