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

Heh. (to both of you.)

Took me forever to get my MacBook to see the new network and get IP address with DHCP. Turns out you need to click on that final "Apply" button before any changes take effect. Duh.

eta: It's nice to see "Available: 929.3 GB of 929.5 GB" for my Time Machine.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Yup, the fumes have effected brain functions. Quick! Get him some oxygen!!!

ION, doncha just love it when you figure out the problem AFTER you e-mail tech support? ::head-desk:: I reinstalled VectorWorks after my lovely hard drive failure of a few weeks ago. They came out with a service pack update. But my s# wouldn't work. Ya, turns out I had installed v12 and not v2008. So the SP s# was like "nope, wrong version dude". D'oh!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My gmail account has suddenly been flooded with a ton of bounces, and what's bouncing is spam. Someone's clearly forged my e-mail address to send your typical "add inches to your johnson!" spam.

Should I be worried?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Should I be worried?

Nah. As you've already deduced, they're just using your address and haven't actually done anything to your account; there's very little chance you'd be able to trace the culprits, and they'll move on to a different address in a matter of hours or days. Plus, the likelihood of anyone you actually know getting a spam from your address and getting hosed off at you is amazingly tiny.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Plus, if one of my friends sent me an "add inches to your johnson!" email I'd be very amused. Unless it was a lady friend. Or my mum.

Connie, I have a Razr from AT&T just sitting here.

It's going to be a while before I'm actually in phone shopping mode. This will be the first cellphone in the family, as Hubby is more often than not at home. But thank you very much.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

jealous of tommyrot and his new gadget. I've been drooling over the online picture of time machine.

Enjoy the new chemical smell...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From a buttload back:

A friend who just got an iTouch is returning it because [...] it didn't download email attachments--he said you had to be attached to the internet to open them

I just turned off my iPod touch's wifi and opened up Mail - no trouble at all opening email or attachments.

Jessica--you have a Touch or an iPhone? He's maintaining that may be a distinction. He also wants the entire email and attachment downloaded automatically, but I'd settle for assurance that an attachment already viewed is still available.

Compassionately intolerant

::headdeskheaddeskheaddesk::

The great sadness over losing the eMac (Daniel, I have yet to get the hard disk out) grows deeper as I have to recreate documents.

And having that process be such a time consuming pain in the ASS.

Word is driving me batcakes with the spontaneous moving of things. I set the document up with a 5 inch column and a two inch column. When I try to replace text, graphics disappear, lines move. It's CRAZY.

In short, how do I lock an object onto a page so that they don't move for anything? !!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

As I recall, Jess has a Touch. As does Paul. I'm pretty sure he has no real attachment problems, but I'd have to ask.
