Last week we sat down to watch Casino, which I’d ordered from Amazon (Canada). About halfway through the movie stopped and the player told me that the disc was damaged or needed cleaning. No amount of fiddling with it would get it to work past that point. I tried playing it on my PC and …
Michelle and I had a very enjoyable day on Saturday. We started by going to pay off our new appliances – but the HSBC Finance office was closed, so she’ll have to drop off a cheque on Monday. On the way home, we stopped at the Farmers’ Market, where we picked up some pre-cooked quesadillas …
I’ve started to grow a beard. I’ve done this before (for a week) but Michelle never saw me with it. I’ll leave it for several weeks before (almost certainly) shaving it off again. I may shave it off in stages (goatee, mustache, and so on) so she can see how I look with different types …
For the past couple of months, we’ve been getting this almost sulphureous odour coming out of our shower. At first, it went away after we took off the drain cover and removed some big hunks of hair. But it came back again. Then, it went away for a while after we used some Liquid Plumber. …
Okay, so, several days later, my computer is still freezing randomly. The only thing I’ve noticed is that it seems to happen consistently when I leave eDonkey2000 running. It’s almost guaranteed that if I do this before I go to bed that it will have frozen up on me by the time I wake up …
My XP workstation has been locking up randomly (about once every day or two) for the past week or so. It seems to have started happening only coincidentally after applying some Microsoft updates, because I’ve since backed those out but the freezes continue to occur. This is extremely annoying, to say the least. I’m always …
When PHP 5.0 was released some time ago, I upgraded to it and my Web based email application, Horde (Imp), stopped working properly. I would read message #1, with it’s text message. Then, on deleting it, would receive message #2. But, when I looked at it, I’d see the text of message #1 again! Only …
We’ve been renting Oz from Blockbuster since the first season. Season 5 came out a couple of months ago, and we went to Blockbuster a couple of weeks after that, and picked up the “Hot New release” of Oz. We took it home and soon discovered that it was actually Season 4. (Which we’d rented …
The first time I thought about moving my links from the bottom of the page to the left-hand side, I change my mind because I thought it would be a lot of wasted white space on the left if you scrolled down the right-hand side. However, since the page itself doesn’t scroll, only the columns …
The first nightly builds of SeaMonkey (Mozilla’s continuation / replacement) can be found here. Although these are alpha builds of the to-be-released SeaMonkey 1.0, they are (currently) almost exactly the same code as the Mozilla 1.8b3 nightly builds, so they’re more stable than your normal alpha build might be expected to be. The graphics, logo, …
