The Mayor ,'End of Days'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
When I went back to the Excel file, some of the lists of names had been cut short - which is why they didn't merge into the Word file
Oh, man, I used to see that. It has something to do with the upper limit of the cell size when it's formatted for text, I think. I don't remember what to do about it, though.
I figured it was something like that. sigh
Thanks ... it is kind of reassuring to know I haven't completely lost it.
Yes, Excel has limits on how many characters can be in a cell. I think you might be able to find the limit if you google.
Sounds like time to switch to a database.
I asked the resounding stupid question here about "Where is Google chat?" on my Android devices. I have been using it a bit clumsily on my tablet (sorry, Perkins), but I just went into it on my phone and it only lets choose my primary phone's GMail address, even though I have three installed (G+ points to a different one, for instance). On the tablet, I get a choice. Am I again missing something obvious?
I know I'm missing something obvious in that I can't get it not to vibrate to notify me of new mail. I swear I've been into the right settings to turn it off, but still three pulses when new K9 mail comes in, and a couple other notification services. Bothers me.
Other beef: Printing. What's with that? My HP C6200 is too old to print to? That's not fair. That strikes me as a lack of willingness to support, rather than a straight up technical limitation. That's my last remaining serious beef with the tablet, that I have to go through a computer to print anything I generate off of it.
netflix is spinning off its dvd rental side into a new company called Qwickster. Netflix itself will be only streaming media.
I don't know what this will do to those of us sharing accounts.
I don't know what netflix is doing anymore.

That reminds me, I should cancel my Netflix account.
What services are you using to consume media these days, Jess?
Heh - Ethan's job, mostly. If we've gone through everything on the Tivo, there's always a stack of DVDs to watch. I can't remember the last time I fired up Netflix streaming, and I haven't seen a DVD from them in months.
