Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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

le nubian, I just checked the thing in the control panel and it was set on Mute. I didn't do that! WTF. But I unchecked the Mute box and I have sound again. I'm grateful it was an easy fix, but I'm baffled as to why it happened at all.

Thanks!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

sumi, a couple days later, but I've had that happen on my dial-up. I assumed that it didn't ever get to where it needed to get to to show anything on the screen (or something like that, only in sense-making-ese), so I make sure that nothing else is loading the first time I load gmail at home.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I have a quick question and googling this did not produce any results.

I would like to encode a firefox bookmark so that every time I click it, the link opens in a new window, not a new tab. Is there a way to do this or do I just need to use Tab Mix Plus extension?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

le n, on my Mac version, that's an option in preferences: tabs.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I don't want this to happen to all my links, just one particular link.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I don't know a way to encode it to a particular bookmark, but shift-leftclick opens the target of a hyperlink in a new window, and it works on bookmarks too.

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

The very awesome Handbrake DVD-ripper for the Mac is now available for Windows and Linux, too. Plus, shiny new features like AppleTV support that I'll probably never use.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

So, in continuing phone discussion, I'm thinking about getting the Nokia N80: [link]

Data plans royally suck here, but the thought of at least getting to get my email anywhere is very, very appealing. Thoughts?
