Me? I'm waiting for a "Flexible Frank" model.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

I've decided that app server architectures are something I need to learn as much as possible about. Given that I'm stumped by the Alfresco install, does anyone have any suggestions about a good place to start learning about app servers in general?
I've heard good things about Glassfish for hosting Ruby on Rails applications running under JRuby. Otherwise, I got nothing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
You can revive NiCad Batteries by Zapping them with an Arc Welder.
Please don't try that with your Li-Ion batteries, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't have a Roomba, meara, but I've researched them, and yeah, you do need separate ones for vacuuming and mopping, if you want both tasks.

DIY Roomba battery replacement: HOW TO - iRobot dead cell battery fix
Obviously, I don't want to pay for anything. This morning I took apart the battery pack in the Dirt Dog vacuum cleaner. After about 30 minutes of cutting, sawing, and taping I had a battery pack that was performing like a new one. Now instead of getting 10 minutes of lousy vacuuming I get over a hour of powerful cleaning. This saved about $60 which is the cost of buying a new replacement pack from iRobot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would probably cost me as much (more if you count ripped out hair) to fix the battery as to replace it.

After posting that, I discovered the guy was talking about replacing a single bad cell in the battery pack, which I suppose is where all the savings comes in (as opposed to replacing the entire pack).
Of course, soldering would be required. (One of these days I'll be good at that.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
How much of a pain is it going from previous versions of Word to Word 2007? Is it incredibly difficult to view older documents? To save older documents so they can still be read by older versions? (Keep in mind that we're talking the level of difficulty for my parents, rather than me.)
