Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Thanks, tommy. I just downloaded TextMaker Viewer and I'm using it right now AIFG. Much faster to open a doc or docx file with TMViwer.

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

Notepad++ question: How do I do a search-and-replace to search for a certain string and replace it with the same string but with a carriage return after it?

Also, anyone have experience with XML on SQL Server? (We're using SQL Server 2008.)

Huh. My iPod somehow had its HD frelled and it couldn't be repaired. So I had to reformat and now I'm transferring 103 GB of stuff back to it.

I wonder what happened... perhaps my cat triggered an EMP while I was at work....

eta: Bah. Reformat didn't fix the problem. Time for a new 160 GB iPod classic.

Weird - my iPod classic that died never actually ran out of disk space.

Anyone ever replace an iPod HD? I can get a 160 GB HD for $180 here: [link] Anyone know of a cheaper source?

A new 160 GB iPod is $249. Hmmm....

eta: And will a 160 GB HD fit if the iPod originally came with 120 GB?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Good lord. One group of users at work just asked us to get a price quote for a server with 1TB of RAM.

That's not a typo.
