Faces are cool!

Friday, May 13th, 2005

So, I’ve been lamenting the fact that mood-faces have fallen into disuse. I’m guilty too, and usually that’s b/c of the difficulty in remembering my options - so I’ve added a LINK so that now you can click on them directly from the main Soapbox page.

as a reminder, here’s the big jpeg o’ faces.

  

House Painting

Friday, May 13th, 2005

As some of y’all may know, I’m babysitting my house while it gets painted. It’s impressive how little time it takes when you have a group of people who know what they’re doing. The final coat of paint will be going on tomorrow.

Then the house will look exactly like it did before. Well, exactly the same only with less flaking.

On Saturday I also get to install a set of french doors in the back. Should be exciting since I’ve never done anything like that before.

  

Make Mail work right away

Friday, May 13th, 2005

Up until today, whenever I would start Mail it would complain about the various certificates being presented by all the various mail servers I use. (of course, this is really only two, but still.)

To avoid this, all you have to do is open Safari, point it to the mail server as they suggest in this link, and then click the “always trust” button (or whatever it actually says).

Now Mail opens and checks email (and sends email) without any interaction from me.

Very cool.

Everybody say hi to Sparky (Becky)!

I wasn’t going to post this until the end of the term to ensure people don’t fail out, but now that Becky has discovered it I guess the cat’s out of the proverbial bag. so, hesitantly, I bring you…

Cable on your computer! Heaven help us.

Or, here’s the direct VideoFurnace link that I’ve been using.

And I have to admit, “you guys have Paris Hilton” is a pretty funny come-back.
