Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Jul 10, 2003 5:00pm PDTThursday evenings still just seem wacky since there is no LNC... I keep switching back and forth on Late Night Theatrics but always come up with a crappy format. Maybe one day huh!? These stories are for you this evening:

Thanks Fark - Internet dropouts! - Bringing down the house.. the wrong house! - Intel says slowdown - A users guide to time travelLastly, for the comment regulars we've finally dropped the hammer on mp3s in the comments. Read carefully if your a comments regular that likes to post music.

Anyone know where I can get a good file synchronization program to sync my mp3's between laptop and notebook? It has to be fast as they're connected on a wireless network, not some sluggish, check every file every time thing.
Thx.

Thanks to malevolence's work, I figured out how to do all sorts of funky stuff with the ShackCSS. In short, every tagged post now has an icon in front of it so that it's easier to tell what the post has been flagged as. Like my previous version, it's all based on Entity's colors since those are what I'm used to.
This ShackCSS comes in two versions:
- timm_shackcss.css: The default version with all white font colors for tagged replies.
- timm_shackcss_cmtcolorsdefault.css: The same as above, only the tagged replies have the default shack color.
Download: http://www.oppdater.no/timm/timm_shackCSS.zip
Installation:
- Unpack the content of this .zip into a directory of your choice.
- Open IE. Click Tools / Internet Options, and then "Accessibility" in the lower right of the menu.
- Check off the "Format documents using my style sheet" checkbox, then click "Browse"
- Locate the folder you unzipped the content to, and choose either timm_shackcss.css or timm_shackcss_cmtcolorsdefault.css
- Hit "OK" twice.
NWS NOTE: If you're shacking from work and you aren't too keen on the NWS boobies icon, there's a cencored version in the "cencored_nws" folder. Copy it to the root dir and overwrite the existing icon_nws.gif image.

so i've been listening to hiphop. lots of really good stuff coming out these days, plus, i'm playing catch-up with all the sweet tunes i missed through the '90s when i thought hiphop was crap.
anyway, my girlfriend just caught onto that herself, and is hooked on ludacris.
and she says aesop rock is "very brad music" (my name is brad).

Aww yeah.

One of our students called us today because someone sent her threatening/harrassing email, of a sexual manner. She forwarded us the email so we could take a look at the headers, and the guy sent it through Hotmail.
Guess what? Hotmail puts the senders IP address in the headers. And the IP belongs to one of the datajacks in the one of the dorms.

ok so. theres no one doing jornada support between 2am and 5am pst.. so they wanted to put me in the jornada queue to set up callbacks if anyone called in.. i thought this meant id be taking jornada AND aio calls.. but actually it means id only have been taking jornada calls, adn there ARE NONE. so.
i told them that my friend john actually had jornada training, which i didnt, so they put him in it instead. at the time i thought this was a bad thing i was avoiding. in actuality he's sitting there doing SHIT ALL for the rest of the night while i take call.
so shack, i call upon you. call 1-800-hpinvent and say 'jornada' at the prompt. >:)
