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!
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?
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.

I am actually still working on it! I actually got this off the page, but they only offer the eps files (I think it may be because we just got a new logo and they haven't gotten around to putting up other types.) Perhaps I should call them, though-- they might have different formats and just not gotten aournd to putting them up!
