I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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?

Sheryl, did you copy thunderbird from the .dmg file to your applications folder, or are you running it from the mounted "disk"?
