I keep my Dock on the bottom and hidden.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks Ginger! I am a little leery of the PowerPoint thing, because the last time a boss did a giant poster in powerpoint, the images looked like crap and I got blamed, even though all I did was burn the document and take it to the copy center.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm surfing in search of it right now, but figure I might as well ask--anyone configured two TiVos in the same room to use different IR commands? And then configured a Logitech Harmony 880 for both too?

Nice! Once I'd trained the TiVos and the original remote according to their instructions I then used IR training to program an Old TiVO and a New TiVo into the Harmony 880. Haven't fully tested it, but preliminarily it looks good.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I keep my dock on the left, pretty small, and always unhidden. I actually prefer to have my windows taskbar locked to the left side as well, but sometimes it wreaks havoc with my themes, like right now. So it's currently at the bottom.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG, I just discovered the coolest thing in the universe!
Ok, maybe that was a tad hyperbolic. Anyway, this is for folks with Leopard. It has the ability to take a portion of a web page and make it into a Dashboard thingie that automatically keeps itself updated.
It's easy as hell. For example, open the Message center of b.org in Safari. Then go to "File / Open in Dashboard". Then select the portion of the page you want and click on the button. That's it. Now if I don't have b.org open I can just go to the Dashboard and see how many unread posts I have.
I was actually thinking of writing a Perl script for this, but now I don't have to....
eta: You can even click on a link on the Dashboard thingie and it will open that link in your default browser.

That reminded me of the only thing I wanted from Active Desktop--to be able to embed a web page with a form into my desktop so I could clear the desktop, google or wikipedia or IMDB some term, and then go back to what I'd been doing. Instead I settled for Opera's many tabs and neat "create search" functionality, which ain't so bad for second place.
Or is there a way to do what I was thinking of in XP?
