I love Mint. There's really not a lot of upkeep to it, and it is neat (if sometimes painful) to see how things break out over time.

OK, trying to help a friend set up a LJ account, and for the life of me, I'm confused. It appears I can only get the friends page to show the 10 most recent posts to the groups she has subscribed to. My personal LJ there is a "previous x posts" to click, to go back a page in time. I can't find where to enable that option for her. Most frustrating. Any ideas?

in the meantime, I'll keep digging through LJ.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Change to a different style?

ya, that's what I ended up doing. I copied the s1 settings I have on mine. Oh well. I thought all the styles had that feature.

Help.

I am still dealing with the bad battery on my home computer so this weekend I decided to crack it open to figure out what sort of battery it is. (I've got a Dell PC desktop.) And I couldn't get it open so I put everything back together and then tried to log on - I've lost my modem!

What are my options?

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

Wider-Screen Kindle Coming Wednesday

It went from a New York Times murmur on Sunday to a press release and 99% confirmation this morning: Amazon will be rolling out a bigger, wider Kindle Reader, supposedly tailored for easier newspaper and magazine reading. The announcement comes Wednesday, most likely, but the question is whether more screen space would make readers more likely to subscribe to the Times, the Journal, and other publications.

People who bought the Kindle 2 are going to be pissed.

The status is NOT quo.

Nah, I love my Kindle 2! It's the perfect size for me.

Compassionately intolerant

My wordpress is trying to melt my brain with frustration.

I know I've whined about this before, but I've scoured forums and suspect that a simple solution is...well...simply eluding me.

The new and improved media process is a complete fail as far as I can tell.

In the good old days, there was an 'upload' option on each editing page window. No longer. (I've been warned to NOT upgrade to 2.7.1 so I suspect I'm running 2.6)

I have 20 or so pdfs in the media library and all I want to do is link to them in various pages.

It should be simple, but I just can't figure it out.

How do I attach a pdf document stored in the media library to a link on a page?

Please, I'm desperate!
