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!
Thank you, megan walker, you've saved me from the embarrassment of having my Editor in Chief see a saucy Benedict on my desktop. (If he'd asked me if that was my boyfriend, I was totally gonna say yes.)
We don't want another "spik-el-oost" situation!
In other positive tech news, not only will dropping cable save me $50+/month over the next year (even with upgrading my DSL, switching to Netflix streaming with 1DVD, and adding HuluPlus), but it turns out by not using the cable box I can finally watch 1 channel while taping another.
ETA: spik-el-oost x-post!
Does Zen know the spikelust story?
I do! Sometimes just for fun I say "spik-el-oost" and LAUGH.
Hee. When I started at my last company, I was still very amused by that, and somehow ended up using "pikelust" (minus the S??) with a number on the end as one of my passwords.
Turned out that was the one password you couldn't change (most made us change every 90 days). I had it for four whole years.
MacBook Pro fragrance reproduces the scent of an Apple unboxing
Never in a million years would I have thought someone would want to bottle up the "scent" of a MacBook Pro unboxed. Sure enough, three Australian artists have recreated a fragrance that replicates a fresh MacBook Pro being opened.
Dude, I just installed Wordpress all by myself, with only one mistake. (Yes, it's easy, shut up.)
Go me!

Well, fandom's going to have a cow.
I'm trying to get all of my Springpad recipes into Evernote, as the new Springpad app for Android is even less functional for my needs than the old one.
There is no export method for springpad notes that works with Evernote, but I CAN access all of my recipes through a private RSS address. If I could simply send all of the individual entries in the feed to my e-mail, I'd be done!
I was able to get just the most recent one to send using one of the web services that forward RSS to e-mail, but the services are really designed to send entries as they come, not to send all of the ones that are still available from the past.
Does anybody know an RSS reader or service that will parse all of the entries available at an RSS feed and send them as individual e-mails to a given address?
ETA:
Never mind, the Python script rss2email let me do it. A bit of a hassle, but it works.
