Yeah, I tried Wunderlist, but it didn't twig me, somehow. I suspect my problem is that I started with Astrid, so now I just want any other program to be Astrid, but without Astrid's problems.

Yeah, without recurring tasks it's too much work for me. And, so far, looking for it is also too much work for me.

So I'll stivk with Astrid, until something comes along that blows it out of the water for a similar price.

o_a, if your machine is an HP, this is how to turn off the dock: [link]

So I finally had a little time, and dug around and found the little check box to turn it off (thanks Deena!). Then did the million Windows updates. Apparently one of them was updating the stupid dock. And apparently that preference was not saved, and the interface for the dock is completely different. The hunt begins again. ::sigh::

I have an XP netbook which I had turned off for a few weeks. Since I'm presenting tomorrow I turned it on to update virus defs and windows updates. And when I went into windows updates, it said there were no priority or security updates to download. Hmmm. I seem to remember at least one update where I had to reboot in the last few weeks. Shouldn't an XP machine which has been turned off the past three weeks have found at least one microsoft update?

Found it. Let's see if it sticks this time. Gosh, that dock is annoying, and a processor hog.

Microsoft has XP pretty much on life support at this point, it is an OS that is more than a decade old. I think they are only doing absolute minimum security related updates on it at this point.

can I insert variables into HTML popups

I don't know... probably? I'm not sure what an HTML popup is but will look into it!

delete button

Yes! Also, if you long click on an action in a task, it disappears. I accidentally deleted TWO actions yesterday trying to move them. Very annoying. Also Also, there is no good way to do an If statement for two things at once (no And/Or). You literally have to do nested if loops for Ands and ifs-inside-of-elses for Ors. Whoa. Wouldn't be so bad with a keyboard to type things, but with having to navigate to a menu for each and every End If, it made for some very annoying programming!

Why did I need to do this? I was fixing my 10-minute call thing, which didn't work. Turns out the %CTIME variable is stored as a decimal in the form hh.mm, so to actually check if I was with 10 minutes, I had to split the variable at the decimal, then do the equivalent of

If (%CTIME1 = %LASTCALLTIME1 and %CTIME2 < %LASTCALLTIME2 + 10) or (%CTIME1 = %lASTCALLTIME1 + 1 and %CTIME2 < LASTCALLTIME2 - 50)...

which required two completely separate nested if loops AND completely repeating the actual task twice! Crazy.

This is so frustrating that I must be overlooking something obvious.

I'm trying to view/save web source in Android. I know I've done this before, but devices and apps ago. Any share I tried was just the URL, and when I installed the View Web Source app, because the page loads with errors (expired SSL cert), it doesn't actually give me anything except an error message.

If the HTML is in the browser window, why the fuck can't I have it?

So, I'm testing the code for stolen phone--send an SMS with GPS coordinates and snap a stealth photo back and front camera (which is the uploaded to Dropbox as part of my DB config). I wanted to use a simple trigger to fire off the code, instead of hitting the play button, so I chose "camera shake" for brevity's sake.

Awesome pictures, as one might guess.

I'm also trying to work out what Defcon Bears should encompass.

Right now, upon receipt of a text with the word "funkytown" (SPN fans know whereof I speak) takes my phone out of any silent mode, and bounces up the volume just in case. Doesn't currently announce itself, though. And the settings changes are permanent.

Sensible? I had been thinking of putting the changes on a timer (so it would revert after thirty or however many minutes) but that doesn't seem as simple as I'd originally hoped. Another consideration is that the settings will be changed for just that one person--so if my sister funkytowns me from her Blackberry, it'll only ring if she calls me from the same device. I'm trying to work out if that's practical, or will people be texting me so they can call me from a land line?

Also, are there really some times you don't want it screaming at you? What if it was during a calendar entry with the word "movie" in it? Should it maybe "just" vibrate ferociously? That's still going to annoy the other watchers, but significantly less.

Hmm....

This is hard.

Yeah, sounds reasonable. There is definitely opportunity for abuse, depending on your friends' sense of humor. The SO Byfuglien'ed me in the middle of a crowded department store once, to find me. Fortunately for me, I had yet to reset it. But it would have been very embarrassing had it succeeded.
