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!
With eInk, you can't have a book like this.
Ha! It's like a pop-up book for the digital age. Fun.
I've had nothing to do with this site - anyone have any advice, comments, pertinent information, snarky comments? Anything's welcome.
I use LinkedIn, but I'm not sure I have any advice or comments. Except that it keeps telling me I'm only 80% complete because I haven't filled up enough boxes.
Does anyone have wallpaper changing programs they like? I got some sort of weird Trojan last night that killed WallMaster, which I have used for years. I installed the latest version, but when I restarted my computer, the executable was missing, as if AVG now thinks it's a virus all the time or something. I deleted the Trojan from the Virus Vault, so I hope it will stay away, but I'm not sure I can use WallMaster anymore, which is sad. I like having my wallpaper change every 30 minutes!
I am posting here because I am proud of myself for ordering, installing, and registering a shiny new cable modem with ND out of the country. Our internet is scary fast now!
I know this is not a major technological accomplishment, but I'm still pretty darned proud. Does anyone need a gently used Motorola SB5101 Surfboard cable modem? It works great; it just wasn't new enough for the scary fast signal ND pays extra for for his business. (Or did you have plans for the old one, Drew?)
I might need it. Looks like my new apt is a choice between DSL or cable. Cable is faster.
It's all yours, Omnis. I will set it aside.
awesome! Thanks!

to remove smiley face. oops, sorry about that.
I have no plans for it. All yours omnis.
I hate eclipse, for the third straight day it's locking up on start. Time to blow away my settings, again. The integration with Perforce source control sucks, the built-in differ sucks, it does weird shit when it's maximized. I've been spoiled by Intellij's IDE.
If you visit Shir or Nilly, better leave your iPad at home:

Eclipse has lovely support for plugging things in, but IntelliJ is such a well put-together package that I am clinging to it even though my employer would like us all to jump to Eclipse. They're also trying to take Perforce away from us, which is the saddest thing ever to make me sad.
Thunderbird 3 (latest upgrade) is more like thundersnail for me. I think they don't care that there are still people out there on XP with 1 meg of Ram and a slow processor. As long as I'm looking at going back to 2., is there some other email client I should consider instead?
