Hey. New board.

It did as of this morning.

I was able to get the javascript clipper to work (kind of) with Firefox Mobile once. But it was too slow and clunky to be worth pursuing.

I don't see why there should be a browser limitation. As you said in an earlier post - the HTML is clearly reaching the android phone. I could imagine that the Evernote app might not be able to parse the code for offline clipping, but the web clippers send it to Evernote's servers to parse so far as I know.

Hey. New board.

ita, I just did some testing of the Evernote Add-On for Dolphin. I tried it about 6 months ago with mediocre results, but it seems to be working pretty decently on the websites I tried today. I am going to try using Dolphin for a while and see if it satisfies me (I normally use the stock browser).

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

I'll try that, Gris. If it's better than the loud sucking noise of zero, it's a step in the right direction.

What tools do people recommend for making animated GIFs from video on Windows or OS X?

I created a couple on OS X using MPEG Streamclip and GIMP--I did loudly abandon GIMP a few months ago, and I'm really happy with Elements, but animated GIFs are the first thing I've needed that is PS only (I do also need to work out if it can split images into colour channels). And GIMP has had a major important improvement--it's no longer X11, and that's a big deal for me in terms of keyboard control and stability. So it's not making me cry to do this, but I don't know if there's anything free or cheap that has more intrinsic animated GIF support than editing layer comments seems to imply?

I solved the weird clocking issue with the new audio interface at work! Woot!

(it has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING discussed in here, just.. it's technical, and was a headscratcher for all of us, and I found the solution, just PRIOR to calling tech support! And feeling accomplished.)

carry on. Nothing to see here.

Test data #1, tommy: When E and R become unshiftable (noticed both this time, no other letters), it's for both the right and the left shift keys. It happens so infrequently that swapping keyboards would be inconclusive (unless I could swap *right then* and that doesn't change the playing field too much), but next time I'll check the laptop keyboard too--I was just in a rush.

I just figured how to set-up my work e-mail on my iPhone. Easy peasy. Too easy. I shouldn't have done that.

Ha! You have just attached an electronic leash to yourself! Mwhahahahahaha!

It isn't like I hadn't been checking work e-mail through the phone before - just in a more clunky fashion. Ah, well.

If it's one of those leashes that lets you leave the fucking office, BRING IT ON.

I'm trying to convince them to put my mail on my third device, but for some reason that's a little much. Dammit! I want to be able to walk away as much as possible.

Yeah, had a big talk with student who DEMANDED part time office worker who does payroll should check his messages at home. Dude. He's part time. If he checks messages from home, then he will get more done, and not on company time, then we can't justify making him full time. And the kid is part time! Nope, student thought it was rude, and that everyone is connected now, and that he should check messages all the time. Um. Yeah, if he's part time, odds are, he can't afford internet access at home. Student went from undergrad to grad school. Probably has never had to pay for internet access at his home.
