The guy rippiing paper as if to say its not needed anymore. That was hillarious! Also the boy carrying the computer with the girl carrying the tape drive was cute, in a "can I carry your books for you" kind of way.
And we live to fight another day.

I remember when I thought my 40MB hard drive was huge. Nowadays I'm thinking I could really use one of the new terrabyte drives.

Okay, can someone more web-savvy than me tell me if I'm being crazy or just plain wrong?
We're trying to publish files to a website. The person who used to update the website only knows that she used Front Page to do it. The screenshot she sent me said:
"Specify the location to publish your web to:" 134.xxx.xx.xx:8000/foldername
(Assume that that's a correct IP address with an http and a real folder name and everything.)
To me, that says she's using FTP to send the files to the webserver. Am I wrong? Is there another option?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It sounds like their using HTTP to send files, with Front Page extensions enabled on the server.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I think that's the case.
Is it possible to send files using HTTP if you don't have Front Page? Can some ftp clients do that (i.e. specify HTTP instead of FTP)?
eta: I think you can mount a web server (i.e. an HTTP address) to Windows Explorer. So then you could just drag and drop....

Oh. I don't really know anything about Front Page. Crap. Is this bad?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This sounds kinda like what happened to me at work (and which I promised to work on this week, I now recall). What I was told here was to install Microsoft Expression and use that.

I knew we had talked about this recently, but I couldn't remember who or what exactly...

Oh, and when I said "here" I meant at work, not in this thread. The thread suggestion was that it's WebDAV. I don't seem to have WebDAV rights to the folder in question but I'm using both a different OS and a different publishing app from the other person on my team, so either I install Vista or I install Expression.
I'm so totally going with Expression.
