Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

this is stupid: I can't log into my gmail on my blackberry because the password is the little black dots and I can't tell if I'm getting the correct cases. Any ideas?

I have an email for my website set up, and it gets forwarded to my gmail account. This is fine...except I can't get email messages to go OUT to people using this business email account. I GET them fine.

My hosting site is Dreamhost; can anyone think of a way to add the email addy to gmail, or some other workaround?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Out through gmail using your website email address?

Settings: -> Accounts and Import: -> Send mail as: -> Send mail from another address -> follow the prompts and confirm some stuff and Bob's your return address.

AppleTV borks my Linksys router. WHY?

Alternately, what search terms should I be using because I can describe what is happening but somehow nothing online translates from "Swedish Chef" to "here, have a solution."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If I'm not planning to buy MS Office, does it make sense to just uninstall the trial version that came on the computer? Is there any reason not to do that?

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

What OS, tiggy?

Does anyone use Hootsuite? Does it really help keep track of Twitter, FB, WPress and all that?
