I wish Cozi had Tasker integration. And I wish it integrated with GrocreryPal.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

The UK Season 2 Blurays of Sherlock are regionfree. That should be fine in a Region 1 player, shouldn't it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do many UK sets come region free nowadays, or is it a Blu Ray thing?

The DVDs for Sherlock all seem to be Region 2, but the Blu-Rays are Region Free. Browsing the new Blu-rays at Amazon UK, a little under half seem to be region free.

Aren't movie release dates more consistant around the world these days, making the whole separate region thing less necessary?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So any Blu-ray player would play them? Theoretically.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I've got a program that generates a word file with two columns,not a table, but columns. Only when I do a cntrl-a in word to select everything and then try to change the number columns to 1 (to get rid of the columns, so I just have one column) word gives me the message "must enter a number between 1 and 45". Word does see to let me get rid of the columns as long as I do one page at a time. And the result is still in the form of a six inch column rather than a normal document. So how do I actually get rid of the columns in a multi-page document, ideally not one page at a time. (Word 97).

Figured it out. There a little blank bit at the top not in columns. If I make sure to omit that and just select the rest of the document, which is all divided into two columns, then I can get rid of the columns. It is just including more than one format that prevents making changes.

The Sherlock S 1 and 2 box set is apparently region-locked, and has some play back issues on some US machines. Anyway, I like to travel, and if I see something that looks fun while I'm in Europe or whatever, it'll be nice not to worry about region issues.

Stupid user tricks 6: IT idiocy loves company
You'd think we'd run out of them, but technology simply hasn't advanced enough to take boneheaded users out of the daily equation that is the IT admin's life.
Whether it's clueless users, evil admins, or just completely bad luck, Mr. Murphy has the IT department pinned in his sights -- and there's no escaping the heartache, headaches, hassles, and hilarity of cluelessness run amok.
A fun read.
