Longshot hivemind question:

At my office we have a new copier/fax/scanner that receives faxes in pdf format into a folder on our server called "Faxes". Right now, someone has to double click on that folder every so often to check if any new faxes have come in. Does anyone know of a program I can run on my computer that will alert me every time a fax is received into that folder, or every time the folder has been modified?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Some of those come with a software that checks for you.

What model is the FSC?

OMG I hate iTunes so MUCH.

I got a new external hard drive--500GB! Yay!-- and I thought it would be simple to just copy over my music folder to the new hard drive. Which I did--except now iTunes can't read any of my playlists. Where does iTunes hide the playlist data and how do I make it move them? Or do I have to suck it up and rebuild my playlists?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Moving all your iTunes music to an external drive is not as simple as one might think.

Ooh! Bookmarked!

I plan on getting an external drive like 'Suela's sometime soon, so that's useful information. Thanks, tommyrot!

Thank you, Tommyrot! I was trying to avoid consolidating my library, but clearly that is not possible.

Off to make the fix.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

When I moved my stuff, it has somehow given three copies of each thing, and I am having to manually delete the dupes. My library was not very organized to begin with and was all over my computer. It has been very confusing.

Coding and Sleeping

If I had a bit more time, I'd write you a program to do that Wolfram. If you don't have one by Wednesday next week, I could probably write one in my dead time. Just a polling thread to check the directory, a UI to set up emails, email server, the directory to check etc.., a little save and load code, and a thread synchronization class.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If I have an index page that includes another page with a server-side include, will a link on the index page point to a named anchor on the included page?
