So i have a question, it's not a pressing question but I'm not sure if this is just the way things are or if there's a way to fix this--
I'm running a dual monitor set up on my laptop and with a LCD monitor (you'll remember from monday (perhaps) that the laptop monitor went gray scale, now it's fine) -- I just noticed that colors don't look the same. On the LCD things seem to skew more.. I'm not sure how to describe it.
I took a picture/screen shot in second life and I was looking at Second Life on my LCD monitor and the background color looked like a purple on the pinker side. I'm not sure what color it would be called, but defintely pink undertones.
When I looked at the picture on my laptop the background is a darker purpler. The color is listed as Grape and on the laptop it looks grape.
I looked up purple on wikipedia trying to get an idea of shades and the Medium Violet Red looks red and the Electric Purple color looks more like Orchid and Orchid looks pink.
Is there anything I can do to make the colors look the same on both?
Car started up (though it took a few seconds to turn over), and I made it to a gas station. All is well. Whew.
I've run completely out of gas a couple times--once at an intersection kinda near krav, and it was terribly embarassing, because it was all about my judgment. But AAA came through both times. Good to hear yours is all cleared up.
My iPhone's Mail app has randomly decided it won't sync with Gmail anymore (messages I've deleted on the phone still show up in my inbox online).
Is this happening to anyone else, and do we know whose end the problem is on?

Are you using IMAP or POP?
I'm not sure, actually. Where would I find that setting?
[eta: Okay, Gmail says that it's using IMAP, and that deleting messages on the iPhone should move them into the Trash online. Which used to be the case but hasn't been working for the past couple of days.]
OK, that's weird. If you were using POP, I'd have a suggestion, but with IMAP I got nothin'. The whole point of IMAP is that it's supposed to stay synched.
Oh wait -- try this (I'm assuming your iPhone works the same as my iPod Touch):
On the iPhone, go into the mail settings and select the advanced options under your account. In the top "Mailbox Behaviors" section, select Deleted Mailbox and make sure the Trash folder on the server is selected. I don't have access here at work so I can't walk through it as thoroughly as I'd like, but that's the gist of it.

It is.
I'm guessing this is a Gmail issue, since I haven't changed any settings on the phone recently.
