I've installed this and am wondering what to do next. The documentation is in a locked forum, so I'm not sure how the controlling and launching are meant to be set up.

@aphex242: Yeah, me too, except that I thought it had something to do with, like, y'know, boats & stuff. Because shipping stuff overseas is now paranoia-land. WOuld be great if someone set up a webservice to help with that!

Hmm. Not much to go on here in terms of choice. I should have looked in on the earlier post.

That knife is too big for the job.

Have they fixed

VOTE: Omea

VOTE: none of the above. I have a bookmark archive that I use every so often for reference purposes, but almost all of my active links are either in the Ffox toolbar or online at Blinklist and a linkblog.

Omea, still, just like last time. It does more stuff than the others even when it's broke (which is much of the time). If only it had an active development community hammering out the wrinkles....

I would make more use of Picasa web albums if they were to provide a Windows uploader independent of the desktop album software. Some friends have a shared photo album and I occasionally add one or two photos using the web uploader. I tried Picasa once and found that it did bad things to my photos and folders, so I…

Works for me too. Outside the US. Of course.

UK outlets?

The responses here are better than the advice given in the linked story. Sorry to be blunt about it, but that article comes across as both vindictive and poorly-informed.

Omea. Offline, reasonably fast, with bells and whistles that go well beyond FeedDemon, RSSOwl, Newzie, GreatNews, and any other app I've tried. It does have some dumb oversights and some notable shortcomings, but overall it's better than the rest.

Facebook is just Tribe with Flash-based junk, although Tribe was (is?) awful in terms of guys propositioning anyone & everyone, and I haven't heard whether FB is as bad that way. Neither of them are really a social network. I remain hopeful that someone will develop such a thing.

I like it! With upward of 50 search engines the list runs off the bottom of my screen, so the simple fact of folders makes a lot of difference!

#1: avoid people.

Given the hole Wikipedia admins have been digging for themselves, and given the blind spots that have always existed in that project, I'd be happy to see an accessible but credible alternative. Thing is, the Google project sounds like it will set the content by what some editor thinks should be present rather than by…

Doesn't install on W2K. Useless in that case, since it's my 2000 installations that freeze if someone sneezes, and at random. I'm not talking about some fake freezr that the task manager will deal with, but a kill-switch, reboot-required, keyboard disabling, mouse-hanging sort of freeze. If Sys'ternals helps with…

@onesix18: too right. My blood boils when I think about the things that my parents or my high school (in an Oregon university town, no less) should have made clear, but didn't. Not just personal accounting, but the nature of working for a living, having practical goals for oneself, knowing how to use other people's…

I took the top off an old drafting table and replaced it with a wider, shorter piece of wood. I had a 21" monitor on it for a few years but now have a flatscreen. The whole thing moves up and down easily, and can be locked in place at whatever height is comfortable. I've also got the thing on casters so that I can…
