iCal is bitching at me. It refuses to synch with Google. Since this is also my Android phone, it's a bit of a deal for me. I know the credentials are good, and the software is presenting the server information, and it says the user name and password are bad, but I can use them to log into the web interface. It's finding the caldav server www.google.com, and then no joy. Anyone have any ideas? I also try the google option and that doesn't work either.
Maybe I've always been here.

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

I'm curious too about that Gateway. Following my netbooks death, my PC is showing symptoms of imminent death. I should be getting a check soon, if you see a good deal on a desktop or full service laptop, please let me know.
Thanks

Er by full service laptop I mean with memory processor and disk such that one can hook up a regular montior and keyboard mouse and use it as main PC.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ical syncs with google? Like google calendar? Like if I get an ical I can add it to my google calendar?

Up until today, sure! I can't work out what the fuck is going on.

Did you update iCal recently, ita? I know mine has been telling me to update and also warning me that one of devices won't sync anymore if I do, but I think it's an old OS Mac that's the problem, not google. But maybe that has something to do with it.

I don't recall updating it recently, but it might have been bundled in with a reboot I wasn't paying attention to. But I'm not running an old OS. I have a new MacBook.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe the update frelled the google sync somehow. I haven't updated, and my iCal is syncing with google just fine.
Eta: I just went ahead and did the upgrade and (a) you'd have noticed if this had gone through, it moved all my calendars around and (b) it didn't mess up the google sync. So, never mind.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, my iCal is syncing fine with Google.
I almost never use iCal anymore, though. I've decided that I like calendar.google.com just fine, so I use it and my iPhone calendar exclusively to edit my schedule.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am such a geek, but you all know that, right? Anyway, this is so cool: Electromechanical computer built from relays
This is Zusie, a computer built out of electromechanical relays. [Fredrik Andersson] picked up a lot of about 100 telephone exchange circuit boards, each with about 16 relays on them. After getting to know a heat gun really well he ended up with 1500 working relays with which to play. The machine runs slowly, it’s noisy, but it definitely works. After the break yo can see it running and assembly code program that he wrote.
The instruction set is based on boards running microcode. These store the operational commands for each instruction the processor has available to it and they run in parallel with the rest of the operations.
eta: You know how in ST:TOS, when the ship's computer is working, you can hear what sounds like relays clicking? Which is weird, because relay-based computers were long obsolete by the time ST:TOS was on the air.
