Why do people get to stay in jobs that they fail miserably at? A reasonable person would think that accepting and returning a drycleaning order would be pretty much within the skill set of a person working behind a dry cleaners counter, right ( Read more... )

I watched the Grammy Awards show on and off last evening. I had to document this morning the feeling of goosebumps on the scalp I felt during one of the performances (only one, others were moving and well done.....but ( Read more... )

Does anyone know of a program I can use to stick sticky/postit notes to my own desktop that would also work to stick them to other user accounts in xp (on our own computer)?? I tried one -- stickynote 9.0, but the only way to get the notes to go to others was to use email, and that's not what I want ( Read more... )

I did some shit to my computer set-up (network) the other day and I totally fucked it all up, I thought.

Am I obligated to purchase it? ( Read more... )

Windows Media Player 10 wont burn the 10 second overlap between songs......(or will it? ??? not for me), it works like butter playing the list from my computer. But, alas, no speakers to speak of, let alone having the whole of it out in the garage ( Read more... )

Nero 5 is rocking my socks off! I do have it (came with the cd burner I had to replace last winter -- see January '04 entries for an account of that rockin good time) and it works like a charm. Well, I think it works like a charm......I'm going to burn one of the cds, but I went through the whole process -- it asks if you want to remove the pause ( Read more... )
