The spacebar on my macbook is not being nice, and being somewhat unresponsive. I am fearful of messing up my laptop, can someone remind me of the appropriate/available method for cleaning it, and whether that would help? (Yes, I do tend to be eating food while using the computer, I am a bad bad person)
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

All is well that ends in pizza.
No! I tried to go to google, but it kept taking me to my igoogle page, so I didn't see the logo.
It showed up on my iGoogle page.
Instead of Google, it spelled out Topeka in Google colors.

Reading the comments makes me sad I didn't pay attention to search results. Results in "jiffies" and "microfortnights" would have been amusing.

Thinks for the link, Jon. If I get the job I interviewed for yesterday, I may well be wanting to learn more about this soon.

You're welcome, Misguided, even though I'm not sure to which link you're referring!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I put my hands on both a Kindle and a Nook this week, and although overall I liked the feel and intuitiveness of the Nook better, I suspect I won't be getting anything for a bit. I'll be interested in seeing where things go with color. What network is the Nook on?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Liese, I think Nook is on AT&T.
Is it possible to run two devices (namely, a laptop and a Roku) off one cable router? I thought I would just need a splitter, but apparently that's wrong. My attempt at research is only making me more confused.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If the cable router only has one network connection, you'd need a hub to get multiple connections. If you don't have a hub, might now be a good time to get a wireless hub (which would still have the ability to connect multiple network cables)?

Random other question that may end up just needing to be tried out:
So the new house I'm buying OMG is wired for ethernet. A bit random, but kinda cool, since it's three and a bit stories, so the wireless might not be super all through, depending on where you put it. But...does that mean I just hook up the router to one spot, and the rest of them are thus hooked up? Is it like having a lot of long ethernet cables already hooked together? I don't quite grok--there is a "smart panel" in the master bedroom closet but AFAIcan tell it's not....smart. Or special. Other than being the terminus of all the cables. I'm hoping that doesn't mean THAT needs to be where the router/whatever needs to go? (It's also where all the cable TV cables end up, it seems). A bit odd, and one would hope/assume that I'm not required to have my cable TV box thingie in my CLOSET.
