Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
there's an iPhone app called pterm now, which is an SSH client based on PuTTY.
Also, if anybody uses RDP for Windows admin, there's WinAdmin, which is suprisingly usable.

Notice I distanced myself from their notes by setting them off by themselves.
Unplug the battery?!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
One annoying thing is browsers rename all the graphics files in the cache.
uh, you don't use IE much, do you Tommy? That sucker still retains the original filename in the cache. Their (MS) concession to security issues seems to be that they now use random strings for the names of sub-directories under the temporary internet files directory.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
As far as I know, you can't get subtitles on Instant Watch.

Hey. New board.
If I set up a new Airport Extreme that has 802.11n, then add an old Airport Express to the network that only has 802.11g, will it slow down the whole network? I want to be able to continue using AirTunes, and would prefer not to buy an updated Airport Express to do it.
Of course, the next question is: with my cable connection, will the difference between 802.11g and 802.11n be noticeable most of the time? I could always unplug the Express for hardcore internal file transfers, like backups, I spose.

Thank you Dana. I was afraid of that. Also glad I am not deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Hey. New board.
The Netflix device from Roku works pretty well. Easy enough to connect to wireless. I only had to wait about 7 minutes for Young Frankenstein to buffer enough to watch, and it's been nice. I'm watching on a smallish, non-HD TV at the moment, so I can't really speak to quality just yet. It looks good on this TV, but so would iPod video.

Possibly clueless ringtone questions! I have achieved shiny shiny iPhone, and now I must have some custom ringtones. What's the best way to create ringtones out of songs I've already got in iTunes? (Specifically, I need the theme to Beetlejuice as a ringtone.)
