My clock radio wakes me to AM750, so I'd also notice pretty fast. Without AM, I wouldn't have the city's best news, best traffic reporting and best meteorologist. I have to go elsewhere during parts of the day, when the right-wing talk shows are on, but I know the schedule well enough that I can click back for the news, weather and traffic with minimum impact on my blood pressure.

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

In Photoshop CS2, is there a way to make a menu option a button, or at least a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to navigate the menus to do the same damned thing every time? I mean, it's nice it came with the macro already recorded, but it's crimping my style going and finding it every time.

localhost kernel: ************An SCC Error Occurred 0x47

Um, should I be worried? Modem wouldn't finish disconnect. Restarted and it stalled out. Force restarted (hitting some combo of ctrl, alt or apple plus power) and it came back up. But...should I worry?

It's done the modem infinity disconnect before maybe once, and I've resorted to a similar solution (though I think I pulled the battery that time) without anything dire.

It's an ancient mac, 500MHz, Power PC G3, 10.3.9

All is well that ends in pizza.

In LA? The first day. AM 1070 is our local traffic/weather source,

Wow. Reading this really brought me back to 1990 when I was living in LA.

ita, I know you can do something like that under preferences with Photoshop CS3, but as for CS2?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Is there an easy way to convert my blogspot labels into a cloud instead of the boring list I've got? [link]

Um, should I be worried?

Not just because of that error. It's just reporting the failure to communicate with the modem that caused the stall in the first place. Since the stall happens in the lowest levels of Mac OX, it's hard to stop it, hence the need to force-restart.

It's not good to do that force-restart a lot, though, so if this keeps happening it would be good to figure out why.
