Yesterday on a helpdesk call, the IT guy said "Oh. That's interesting..."
I knew it was going to be a loooooooooooooooong call.
Wash: Captain, didn't you know kissin' girls makes you sleepy? Mal: Well sometimes I just can't help myself.

Any iPhone users familiar with ReQall?
It looks sort of similar to Tasker, which I know Android users in here rave about.

I used Reqall before I had an iPhone. I don't use it at all now.

Toddson, I don't know if you solved your .pdf issue, but feel free to send it to me at my profile address and let me know how many characters you need in each form field. I may be able to resolve the problem.

Just a reminder. For people who find various things on Facebook annoying, but wish to continue using it. Get Social Fixer [link]
It contains extensive custom features. Among the stuff I use it for: 1) Turn Timeline into a single column, width determined by me, and get rid of a lot of the extra things that interfere with finding posts 2) Make news feed in chronological order the default. 3) Hide "trending stories" 4) When news stories are shared via apps, making clicking on them go directly to the story instead of to an app invitation. T
All these things are options, so you can leave any of them alone of if you like the way Facebook does it. And there are hundreds of ways you can customize Facebook with this app to make it do things your way. Simple to install. Simple to use. I highly recommend it for any Facebook user unless you are thrilled with the interface Facebook provides as is.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dammit, I wish there was a Skitch for the PC. It's quickly become my screencap application of choice for the Mac. Lots of different options (being able to set the borders of the Skitch window as a frame, for instance, so you clip exactly the same size and position every time is surprisingly useful to me). And it's nifty on Android too, for quick annotation and stuff.
But...no Windows. Hmmph.

Gnargh. I've got to chase this down tomorrow. I bought a LG BP40 DVD burner (external) and it doesn't ship with OS X software. I would not put it past the guy who tried to help me, because he was clueless, but the web does say it's Mac supported. However the web doesn't say *how*. VLC and FFMPEGX are both having none of it. At least VLC got as far as an error message which I will hunt down tomorrow.
But if anyone here knows a quick answer like: you're fucked, or I know some free software that brilliant at that, that would be gratefully received. I'm just...entirely spoon free at this moment.

I was rushed last night. It's recognised, and DVDs work fine. It's Blu Ray discs that have a problem, and I can't work out where on their site to download Mac software to play them, and my trusty VLC-plays-everything fails. It tells me I need a library for AACS decoding, and although I've followed the instructions here, no dice.
