I really need to update the home network here, but I'm not sure I have the energy to do it. We've got 2 wireless systems and a Gigabit backbone, but there are so many devices on things that it just makes my head hurt thinking about streamlining it. I've just been adding things as needed since we moved in. I'd really like to centralize the iTunes stuff, but then I need to automate syncing it to a bus powered portable drive as well, so that I can have it with me when I travel.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And you both synch to the upstairs box, right?
Yep. We consolidated all our music files after way too long of trying to track which things we had on this box or that one (or -- *shudder* -- both), and for us that was the impetus for figuring out the house-wide sharing.
BTW, I think I mentioned the other day that 6G pods were rumored not to play with Linux, but of course that was cracked as soon as they came out -- any jukebox software that works with libgpod should be able to handle synching (which includes the Linux biggies like rhythmbox, amarok, and exaile).

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
You know, you just went off the cool scale. I love that show.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You know, you just went off the cool scale.
Well, P-C has always been pretty close to the limits of the cool scale anyway....

Yeah, P-C consistently registers between 34 and 38 megafonzies.

Hey. New board.
Is there a page somewhere that lists all the SI units? I'm assuming a "fonzie" is the unit of cool here.
My favorite is the "helen" for beauty. 1 millihelen is enough to launch 1 ship.

Ok. So Lotus notes doesn't like to play nice with Outlook. I have 2 seperate invites to the same meeting in Outlook so that if I have minor changes that only apply to people here in the office, the client with Lotus who is just calling in doesn't get a million cancellations and reschedules (which is the only way I can find for the meeting to show up in the right spot).
So I cancelled a recurring meeting for today, I thought for both us and the client. Neither of the meetings (the same one really) show up on my calendar. Client says it's still on his.
How?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Yeah, P-C consistently registers between 34 and 38 megafonzies.
Is that on the Cunningham Scale or the Revised Potsie Warren scale?

Daisy, I have no answers, but have found out that's a major issue between my new companies (I'm technically working for one, who pays me and i have an email address with, but contracted to another, and the big company uses Lotus Notes, and none of their contractors do, and they can't get it working right) Good luck!
