Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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

Una,

no, I don't think so. I think you can do a work around.

1) have different spreadsheets that have different parts of the form

2) create a final spreadsheet that combines the data from the other spreadsheets into one form.

what you would need to do if you do the above is make sure everyone has a unique id so that you can match the responses across each spreadsheet.

is the above clear.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Passing this on from a friend - is there a legal way to burn iTunes video (purchased) to a playable DVD?

Our wings are not tired

I've purchased quite a few reconditioned Apple products over the years and have had great luck. Quite a few MacBook Pros and a few iMacs. Apple also replaced my iPhone 3G when my original one died and their replacements are reconditioned, it worked fine the whole time I used it.

My refurbished iPod has been a dream--it's lasted the longest of all three of my iPods. I've rarely had to reboot it!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I did some testing, and, yep, Comcast is also delaying any e-mail with a livejournal.com URL in it by five minutes. Not forty-five, unfortunately, so I can't explain the extra forty minutes that started happening a couple weeks ago. When this started happening a year ago, they claimed not to be filtering anything from the lj-notify@livejournal.com address, so I'm not sure.

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

A company that sells conversion kits so you can use your old typewriter as a computer keyboard: [link]

Last week I stumbled upon the USB Typewriter etsy shop and my jaw dropped! Jack Zylkin has invented a Typewriter Convertor process that turns any manual typewriter into a keyboard for your computer! He sells ready to purchase typewriters or you can buy a kit and do it yourself! I think these would be awesome for hotel/B&B lobby computers or electronic guestbooks at a shop... something memorable to catch your eye! Or if you're a modern Angela Landsbury, use it for writing a book the semi-old school way!

eta: They also sell completed typewriters. This one is pretty:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Seriously, Mr Jobs? Are you giving them computers too?

They'll get computers the next time they're trapped underground for a month....
