Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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

Anyone need an iPod battery? I just got an email from www.iPodBatteryDepot.com with a discount code for 10% or 20% off.....

Would the battery come with a screen that works?

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

I'm bringing my sister a new Nano, and I'm tempted to unpack it for lighter carrying and the glayvin, and I can't work out how to open it. I feel shame.

It's probably worth it to pay an extra $50 for the Applecare package for a new (refurbushed) Nano, isn't it? Neither of my iPods has made it to the 2 year mark unscathed. Or fully functional.

Coding and Sleeping

I picked up one of these for Leif for Christmas for $48.

4GB Sansa Fuze

The problem is that now I want one too.

By the way, Sue, that IE fix for the Vista annoyance worked perfectly, thank you.

I'm glad to hear, Connie. It was happening to me and I thought it was my router and kept uninstalling and reinstalling, until Google helped me out.

This looks pretty awesome: Tiny backlit wireless keyboard, just right for dimly-lit home theaters

I get the setup job for any PCs bought in the US for my family. I've gone and installed the following on my sister's new laptop, knowing she won't use it all:

  • Firefox
  • Opera
  • Safari
  • Camino
  • Skype
  • Trillian
  • Flash
  • iTunes/Quicktime
  • Open Office

Am I forgetting anything big? There's no virus protection on it, but I think she has a purchased package at home.

Oh, how do I turn off User Account Control?
