    !>http://images.nutsie.com/mcs-file/r03/3280187/21! Hey I’m not on the board anymore, but Bob has done an incredible job with “Nutsie”:http://nutsie.com. It works on the Mac, upload your iTunes playlist (not the songs), it then plays them for you in a random shuffle and recommends new songs for you based on it.

    With our color printers, I seem to have dozens of empty BCI-6 cartridges and CLI-8 cartridges and feel sad about throwing it away. The top two recyclers, “freerecycling.com”:http://freerecycling.com don’t however recycle these, but they do higher runner bubblejet cartridges and also HP cartridges. So, it seem like they need to…

    There seem to be some huge bugs with syncing. I’ve been trolling the web and apparently iCal’s new sync for Leopard is completely different and buggy. Also Entourage 2008 and Leopard do not get along. I’m trying to sync Entourage to iCal and Address Book and the sync eventually deleted…

    They are really good looking, so see the February photos and this is an experiment. Eventually I have to figure out how to password protect all this, but for right now, here goes… [album=6,extend]

    With a hoster that provides a nominal 1.5TB in storage, it sure is tempting to put some photos up. In experimenting, Nextgen Gallery seems popular with WordPress and it seems to work (unlike Gallery which doesn’t). Here are some photos. Main thing I haven’t figured out is how password protection…

This is a very nice piece of hardware that complements the Time Capsule mainly. You can use it to add a printer to your network (in essence, it converts a USB printer into a network printer), you…

    Darn it, we upgraded our PSP to 3.51 and it turns out that “PSP-Vault.com”:http://psp-vault.com says you can’t go back now and run homebrew above this release without addition hardware. Amazingly there is a special “Pandora’s Battery”:http://www.psp-vault.com/Article1124.psp which unbricks and resets PSPs. You have to run a program on an already…

    Well, watch out for the WP Spam Free utility, in the latest release, it blew out my comments. I thought it was the main module, but “whoami”:http://wordpress.org/support/topic/153402 figured it out. The error said reenable cookies and by searching the text, he figure out what it was.
