omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

OK, I opened up Firefox in Windows (thank you Parallels) and it works just fine. Most curious. Thanks Tommy for your help.

Microsoft announces WiFi bus route for employees
Ha! Love that it runs on Linux for the MS employees. Dunno. Just a twist of irony.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Omnis, See if you can unistall, then reinstall Shockwave on OSX.

The Shockwave Player installer for Macintosh also functions as an uninstaller.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HELP! I was working on a Word document, and went to save it, and got some message that the table was corrupt or some shit and blah blah blah, and I hit "OK," because that's what I do, and the document is GONE. Not on the thumb drive it was saved on, not anywhere in my C: drive, no where, as far as I can tell. How could that be?? And is there anything I can do to get it back?? Fuck.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You could try searching for all documents modified recently. Windows lets you specify that.

I tried that! It told me there were no Word docs modified today!

OK, and then I tried all documents, and there were some notepad docs called "rescued document," but at best they are full of gibberish. Some of the gibberish is some of the stuff I lost out of the Word doc. Still, UGH.

I just don't understand what happened, but I think I have calmed down enough to get someone to email me a previous version of the document, and just recreate what I just did. The whole thing was so weird, though, that I'd love to understand why the fuck my computer decided to delete my document!!

Right??? Thanks. At least it's only semi-work, but now I have to call someone at my office, and bleh.

Art Crawl!!!

My printer is driving me mad: when you ask it to print an envelope it prints on whatever paper you asked it to print the document previous to the envelope, i.e., if you print on letterhead, it prints the envelop on letterhead, if you print on plain paper it prints on plain paper - but not on envelopes.

It's an HP Cp;pr :aserKet 2605dtn - any ideas? Is this something I fix in the printer? Or something I fix in Word?
