I'm getting an "underlying error." This is something for a repair shop, isn't it? Like I can afford this shit. Must prioritise.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

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

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
The march of the ignorant continues! now with added percussion (for increased headache enhancement)!
They've got me doing mass e-mails through an online provider; I've been doing it for a while and have it pretty much down to a science. Got a new one today and when I kept asking for URLs for links (she'd sent me a Word document - with a half-page 300dpi image, oh yay, that had text linking to what she wanted ... seven of them). And she kept telling me to just click the link ... after explaining three times in conversation, plus ... however many times ... in e-mails, it turns out that she and her companion in crime have been cutting and pasting from Word. Which wouldn't be so terrible except (1) the provider has specifically told us not to do that and (2) the messages they compose have been generating complaints about being big enough to choke a mailbox.
She finally decided I was being either difficult or lazy, but went along with it.
oy ... kill me now

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
RIP GeoCities.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Awww... no more finding pictures replaced with "This GeoCities account has exceeded its monthly bandwidth" or whatever the fuck that message was....
Now I'm thinking they should keep it going, just for old time's sake.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Ubuntu 9.04 has just been released.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Ubuntu 9.04 has just been released.
That would explain why I can't reach any of the repos. Blast it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I have a CD-ROM with a Flash intro (swf) that I need to rip to QT.
All the individual swf files are on the disc, but the intro has all of them running in sequence with music underneath, and that's what I need.
Any suggestions? I have Handbrake and MPEG Streamclip on this machine, but neither can read the disc.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I used something for converting on my Mac a long time ago, but I can't remember the name of it. When I Google swf converter I don't recognize any of the ones out there.
Hmmm...I may have to explore some of them sometime.

I think you would have to use something like this.

Hey. New board.
Yeah, Tom's probably right. If the flash files are nothing but video (like YouTube clips) then they're probably FLV files under the hood, but getting FLV files extracted, converted to something usable, and connected would be difficult. And if the flash files contain animations or other non-video elements, then it's impossible.
Screen-capturing is going to be your only answer.
ETA: this page might contain some more cost-effective solutions than Snapz Pro, however.
