ita,
oh, this is a BIG question. So I tried a bunch of software programs, read a bunch of reviews, and I bought MacJournal. I liked it quite a lot, but I found it to be buggy as hell and would just quit for no reason. This did not make me happy.
So I started using Circus Ponies Notebook, which I like quite a lot. It is very stable and I generally find that it works with my way of working. Very functional. I read manuals, but I think it is the kind of software program that you skim for an overview, start using it, then go back to the manual and read some more, etc.
I also use Devonthink Pro for more comprehensive archives and collecting of things that I need to search en masse.
I'm happy to give you tips, etc. for the programs if you want to try them out, etc. Notebook gives a very nice trial period where I really could run it through the rails to see if I liked it. DTP also.
It's not from your parents, Gris. It's from a third party who has both you and your parents email in their address book. Their computer is infected, and it's sending mail out with your parents address to disguise its origin.
I thought that at first, but the list of addresses it sent to was EXACTLY the contact list that was on their online yahoo account. It was only about 10 addresses, because they almost never use it.
(shrug) Bidunno.
LeN, I grabbed jNotes, which is barebones and free--one step up from postits, really--and MacJournal to have a look at. I'm going to grab Circus Ponies too--my version of OS X won't run the DevonThink.
Will come back with questions, probably.
Any Dreamhost customers around here had any instances of them creating an .htaccess file for them? One magically appeared for provocateuse.com that broke parts of my sites. The response to my support request was quite condescending--no, I didn't work out it was an .htsccess issue, because I NEVER CREATED ONE.
What was in the .htaccess file? A couple of months ago, someone hacked my site by installing malicious .htaccess files in all the root directories.

Oh yeah - sorry about that.

I turned on my computer last night, it detected all the drives, gave the beep of approval, then didn't load anything else. It went to a blinking cursor in the upper left hand corner. The Setup shows it's set to boot from a CD drive, then a hard drive. Switching that to boot from the hard drive made no difference. It worked fine yesterday.
The only weird thing that happened was I plugged my flash drive into the plug as it was booting up the first time. Did I do something stupid?
Edit: The flash drive is fine.

This last one redirected some of my images to non-existent no-hotlinking sites, thereby breaking at least one site entirely. I have to admit I don't understand their explanation.
Is 802.11n backwards compatible? I've had no internet connection at home for over 24 hours now and I have a feeling my aging router is to blame. (Next step to confirm is to find an ethernet cable and hook one computer directly to the modem.)
The N and G routers are about the same price and I'm wondering if there's any advantage to one or the other. (Our current router is 802.11b and is about 4 years old.)
Can you see if there's a firmware update for your router?
