Google is so simple to use, you may not realize how many things it can do. For example, type your phone number in Google, and see how your name, address, and a map to your house will pop up! (Scary!)
Soople.com helps you find out about things like this. It runs on top of Google. In fact, you may want to go to Soople instead of Google every time!
iStockphoto.com is a royalty-free photo site. For 50 cents, members can download photographs and use them in any way they want.
I’ve used the more expensive Corbis.com for projects at work and spent $25 per photo. I’ll try iStockphoto first next time.
Kathy’s iBook quit finding things on the internet. For some reason it did not know how to locate DNS (our nearest internet phone book.) The wireless router is supposed to tell the iBook where DNS is located.
She thought she had lost internet access, but this would work:
http://216.109.118.79 (Yahoo’s IP address)
when this would not:
http://www.yahoo.com
I manually set the i.p. addresses for our two nearest DNS servers:
4.21.254.24 4.21.254.2 (dns1.netcentrix.net)
4.21.254.25 4.21.254.3 (dns2.netcentrix.net)
in the Network system preference.
Ever since Apple delivered Safari, a thin, fast browser, I’ve been a fan. I found an equivalent on the Windows side in Firebird, a development project by the Mozilla team. Firebird was a temporary name, but it has become so popular, the final brand name is similar: Firefox.
An article on creating the logo and icon:
I’m trying to use CSS to make table menus. This means I don’t have to use onMouseOver and onMouseOut events on table data tags.

This is a short article about how a guy hacked a friend’s web server (at the friend’s request.) Seems too easy.
Merlin crashed when trying to set display properties remotely via PC Anywhere:
STOP: 0x000000CE (0xbfc19492, 0x00000000, 0xbfc19492, 0x00000000) DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATION
This Driver May be at Fault: VGA.DLL
Used this tip: Start PCAnywhere, click Tools, click Application Options, and then click Host Operation. Change Host video mode to Compatible.
In search of what services to shut off and which to leave on…
Shut off the following services:
Alerter
Messenger
Remote Registry Service
In part based on this article.
Found out why shutting off RPC on Merlin brought it down. (Shouldn’t have done that.)
What’s inside the box. Couldn’t find this on the HP site, but thanks to Epinions…
