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.

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.

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 is really cool!

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?

Utilities Of Mass Addiction. So far I use VLC, Picasa, RealVNC, and PuTTY. I may have to give some others a look.

Mommmm! ita's taunting us with stuff we can't read!

Okay, those guys have a hole in the protection thingy. I first read the list as cached by Google, but then decided to click on the link itself to see if I could avoid sending you to the cached page.

Suddenly I was approved for entry.

Is there any solution? Should I open the eps file in illustrator and change it to some other format? Is there a best format to use in the manner she does?

I don't know if you are still working on this, but at most universities media services has a web page with the logo in every possible format. So it might be easier just to replace it.

Academic poster printers are usually set up to format as a giant Powerpoint slide. Posters often reuse information already put together for a Powerpoint-based talk, so it's easy to paste the slides onto a mega-slide. Probably not optimal, but easy.

I keep my dock on the bottom (and my buttons tri-colored), but I keep auto-hide off, and don't use the animations.

Clearly, I am a creature of default.
