Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

hm. My airport keeps telling me, "connection failed."

Is there anything that would make that happen? It's all set up, green, shows my network in the network selection pane, but can't seem to connect. Keeps timing out. The airport is on the shelf under my computer. Shouldn't have any issues. Odd. too tired to be frustrated.

Anyone know anything about the LiteSpeed Web Server. Is it really much better than Apache? My host is offering a free upgrade, but I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I think I will get a new, cheap one, a power strip, and try and keep it clean!

Please get a surge protected power strip, Sophia. Preferably one rated for electronics.

Jon B. We share a host. Apache is working fine for me at the moment. I gather the upgrade will be available indefinitely, so at the moment my plan is to let the pioneers take the arrows. I would actually be interested to hear the answer, but even if LiteSpeed itself is great, I would rather not take part in the initial migration when I can do it after they've had a little practice with this particular transfer.

so at the moment my plan is to let the pioneers take the arrows.

That was my feeling as well.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Hmm, they haven't asked me yet, and I have two different accounts. :(

Speaking of sound. I'm looking for a nice loop of music to open my blog-audio and podcasts.

Any ideas for places to look? I want something relatively simple, maybe with a little bounce and NONE of that midi-synth feel.

Ann, that's a ferret.

bonny, you might want to check out an old Big Band tune called "Jersey Bounce." Benny Goodman did a great version, though it might be too bouncy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Help!

I downloaded Thunderbird for the Mac, and am finding some problems. Mainly, each time I open it it shows all the messages in the newsgroups as unread, even though I either marked them as read, or read them. Also, when I click on the icon to start it I get the "do you want to open this program" message each time. What is going on here?
