total gmail slowness in Chucktown, SC.

@ArJay: Any thoughts on how these two add-ons affect FF performance?

@curlymeatball38: Thanks, will see how that works. I think RDP is the one thing windows actually does really well, especially the upcoming Win7 implementation of it. Maybe mac can up their game.

I sent this to mom and later ended up spending hours flashing and setting up her old router to DD-WRT to use as a wireless bridge which would have her VoIP behind it... remotely. Never say yes to something like this especially if you aren't even in the same area code.

Does anyone know how to change the google tasks' URL to pull specific tasks list?

@neely615: Relying to myself in case anyone reads this again. After having some fun with all of the moleskine talk, turns out I am now hooked on having a small notebook with me at all times, and the small soft cover notebook by moleskin is perfect.

this is great LH. now I can clip your post from GR to evernote with the correct URL. thanks.

@dhapli: Well I am an idiot for missing that, sorry. So, found this:

@dhapli: Partition everything first with gparted (just burn a liveCD). Since I had a similar setup, I will give you a very specific setup as an example:

@Posco Grubb: I think that's a pretty good point too, and do appreciate the response.

I posted this in the tip jar, but figured it would be useful within this post too:

In case anyone isn't aware of the K7 account, its easiest to get there by going here:

@OokieDookie: yeah, I think since that's where I am, I probably can't honestly argue the pros and cons of this service.

@Posco Grubb: @Posco Grubb: I think my explanation above was pretty poorly written. So, try number 2: I guess for me its amazing how much of my stuff is already out there in the hands of third parties. I think it was back in 2005 when in the great state of Georgia, all of these public institutions had their servers,…

@neely615: Replying to myself, yes because I sound like I have had too much cool-aid above. Just reading through the rest of the comments and people seem in agreement that you just need to come to terms with what privacy you actually have, not just in the case of Mint. Think about who would be getting your passwords…

I am a huge fan of mint. Ever since I started moving around on computers and my copy of quicken got misplaced, mint has been a life saver. Well, maybe more of a time saver. Obviously it keeps everything organized, but my favorite part (aside from the super cool graphs that you can dig into) is them emailing me about…

@1112: Thanks for the input, but I am looking more for a VNC server/client setup for Mac. My real reason for wanting this is that I have a DIY HTPC which I made way too fast (you know how it is, you keep bumping the specs up above what you need.. because you can), and figured that with a good VNC setup I could use my…

I have a question to all: what is a fast VNC client to remotely use my mac at home (screen sharing) while I am away?

Well at least they didn't put soy sauce down as a myth for treating burns. For all of you out there, soy sauce is great for burns. Started doing it after I heard some field medic in the army talking about it, and now I have soy sauce around just for that.
