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!
Just realised I have a demo version of Cam Card for that very purpose. Will evaluate.
Other stupid question: I'm making an appointment in my calendar (so my phone will tell me when to leave home--I like that), and now I need to type in the address.
WHY? Why do I need to type in am address that's in my address book? Am I missing how to trigger an appointment from the address book, or lookup from the calendar?
And...what does it take to get something into history? Do I need to enable auditing or anything?
ok, I have a weird thing happening. Got my new computer (11" Macbook Air) set up, and loaded Chrome.
When I hit "read new" on Buffistas, Chrome shows me the stuff in the window, but when I scroll down, the posts below the original window are empty, and I have to manually refresh the page to get them to show up.
... this is very weird. It's as though the rest of the page is spoiler-whited. And in fact I can read it by highlighting it, just as if it were spoiler-text.
Any ideas? I'm thinking this is a Chrome problem rather than a Buffistas problem, but really I don't know.
... and the post I just made doens't show up to me! Even though the rest of the page around it does, like this posting window.
Awesome.

Not that I know what to do about it, but at least you know you have company?
The front page is unusable for me in Chrome, but other people seem not to be having that problem. I don't know--it may be lint checker time again.
ita I am having a similar syncing issue, with my calendar rather than my contacts. I haven't been able to fix it and it is driving me slightly batty.
Okay, removing the accounts and re adding them seems to have worked at least temporarily. Talk about annoying though.
'Suela,
I think buffistas is having a rendering problem (or whatever the technical term is). Since the move, I have ginormous white spaces all over the site when i use chrome. I pretty much have gotten in the habit of doing command-A on the page and the highlight reveals all the text.
Only the front page HTML changed, though. Unless there's something at the web server side that's bollixing the HTML, I have no idea what's bothering Chrome and why only Chrome.
It happens in Safari as well, and predates the move to the new server. It's fixed in WebKit nightlies so the next version of Safari shouldn't have the problem.
Whether Chrome will end up picking up the fix I do not know since Google is using their own WebKit fork these days. Might be worth reporting a bug against Chrome on the Mac.
