I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

I have noticed that with Chrome, too. The other thing it sometimes does is if I am typing in a box and there is wrapping text, and the last "letter" before the wrap would be a space, it refuses to believe in the space, and writes the two words togetherlikethis, and brings them both to the next line. Bizarre!

Because books.

Huh. It seems like something that would be so easy to fix for developers, it's surprising Google's left it that way. Thanks, meara.

All is well that ends in pizza.

If anyone finds a really god deal on a PATA/IDE laptop (2.5in) HDD, let me know, Andi's Powerbook Hdd is starting to sound loud, and the best deal I can find is some $65 120GB ones.

I just want to give her some more storage internally. She has an 80, but it's nearly full, too.

Our wings are not tired

Geeks.com has some decent deals on IDE laptop drives.

In order to pay our nanny legally, I'm going to need to either sign up with a payroll service or download some payroll software. Anyone have anything to recommend? We're a Mac house, so Nannypay won't work for us (boo).

Thanks, those both look promising.

Hunh. I guess I'll have the same problem. I hope that Payrollio beta goes live soon.

Trust my rage

Hi Jessica,

I use Quickbooks and their payroll system. But it costs $39 a month. Other than that, though, it has worked really well.
