The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Canned air for the keyboard (not that it gets all the cathair out...) and computer wipes I pilfer from the officemate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So my home XP machine reset its clock, but not my work XP machine. Both are set up to receive Windows automatic updates. WTF?
I mean, it's no big deal, but I remember my friends and I being impressed when we first saw Windows 95 reset itself for the time change, so I'm just annoyed - it seems we took a step backwards.
eta: Heh. The XP virtual machine on my MacBook reset itself correctly. But the time was already correct, as the MacBook had already reset itself. So my XP virtual machine got set two hours forward. That must be where the missing hour on my work XP machine went....
eta²: What's even cooler is that I had to install the newest version of the Virtual Machine software, so when I booted XP it told me I needed to install some updated VM tools (that run on XP). Installing those tools reset my XP clock back an hour, making up for the two hours it got set forward. So all is well in Virtual Machine land....

My photo iPod has developed a new tick. It's been suddenly shutting off as I attempt to navigate with the click wheel and centre button. Sometimes it reboots itself, other times I have to reboot it. It will be fine for a while and then go through a phase where everytime I try to navigate, it crashes. I've Googled and haven't found anyone citing the exact same problem. Anyone have any ideas? Is it just another step toward the grave for my beloved iPod?

Skype users - can you record your calls and save them as audio files on the computer?
Cablevision just screwed up my phone service in a HUGE way, and I'm considering giving up the land line altogether and just using my cell for everything. The only reason we need a land line is for DH to record phone interviews from home, and I'm wondering if Skype might be a possible solution.

Why not buy a digital recorder that plugs into your cell?

So, the proliferation of remotes around the house, plus S's general tech-shyness, has me about ready to drive out to Best Buy and pick up a Logitech Harmony 550
I know ND had one of the more expensive Harmonys, but returned it because it wasn't working reliably with his off-brand TV.
Anybody else use on of these or its cousins and have good/bad stuff to say about it?
