maybe I should try phplist. Anyone have advice about it?

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.

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

try googling "wiring floor duct" or "duct cord cover" or "electrical cord cover".

My boss figured those out.

I found it using cord cover, thanks!

Well, I've got phplist up and running. I still have some config stuff to do.

But the big problem is that their attachment function is still experimental, and I don't quite have it working the way I'd like. The html version (with a smaller attachment, must still check into file size limits on the server) goes fine, with the attachment, well, attached. But the text version sends a link instead, and that link is wonky. I don't have the attachment repository configured correctly somehow.

Anyway, I think I'm going to call it a day and try to wrangle with it some more tomorrow. But overall I'm pleased at having gotten it up and configured. And I can do text based stuff right this very minute if I so chose.

so, I am an amazon prime customer and I purchased a gift from there and it was scheduled to be delivered today. apparently there was a delivery issue and it will be delivered (I think and hope) on Monday.

I had it gift wrapped and had a message included. The gift wrap was $4 but the shipping was free because I'm a prime customer. I should note that this order was well above $200.

Amazon sent me an apology saying that they will refund my shipping because of their shipping error and that the gift will arrive late.

Several hours later, I received a notice from Amazon that they are refunding MY ENTIRE ORDER because of the late shipping.

Questions for the group:

a) I am cautiously happy, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I wonder if the item will arrive at all (despite the fact that the tracking info indicates the package is in my state ready for delivery on Monday). Should I be worried?

b) Ha this happened to anyone here that Amazon would refund an entire order - of this price?

Does anyone know if AppleCare will replace a bulging (but otherwise normal) removable battery in my MacBook Pro?

So, my iPod was playing in its docking station and suddenly stopped. A surge maybe? I'm not sure, but I checked the plugs and the docking station seems to be working now. The iPod won't totally light up, but I can still see the screen somewhat and it is showing as playing, but I can't pause it or turn it off. Basically, it seems frozen halfway through the song. Ideas?

ETA: And iTunes is not recognizing that it's connected to the computer.

There is a way to force an iPod to shut down. The method depends on the iPod model and version - googling should provide the answer.
