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

Anything that you can't do in a browser? I'm trying to think if the official app for Android has anything extra in it, and nothing is coming to me.

If anyone's looking for a Dropbox/box.net alternative, Gizmodo just had a post on pogoplug which gives you 5GB free. It also lets you expand the cloud with (proprietary) hardware on your side, as well as buy space on theirs.

Technically I'm happy with Dropbox, but I just tried to move a bunch of files to my tablet, and I can't work out how to select and download multiple at once. I can't work out if it's me or the app.

I'm pretty sure that the Android app is less functional than the website, so you'll probably have to hold out for a third party solution.

Jessica, the internets tell me that the Gmail chat problem may be an issue with AdBlock Plus, if you're using that. Go to Options -> Filters -> Update all subscriptions. Fixed the problem for me!

Thanks! I actually just asked IT to install Chrome instead.

Can anyone think of a reason why one of my Flickr sets would be invisible even though all of the photos in it are public?

This is only happening with the most recent set I uploaded, none of the others which were created the same way (via the Flickr plugin in iPhoto). I'm completely baffled.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It's there now, Jess. Maybe flickr was having a hiccup?

It shouldn't be - I just deleted it!

Damnit, I can't see any of the new sets I just created on-site either.

Can someone check to see if this link works?
