@vogonpoetry - great username :)

Quote: Now tell me, how can I make my own internal dns where instead of needing to know the ip, I can type in mediacenter.rob and the system directs me to 192.168.1.4 ?? THAT would be neat. Yeah, really neat! the .rob network, available at a cramped new york apartment near you :)

My front teeth are shaped just perfect for stripping certain gauges of wire :)

I never understood why ppl want to rotate backgrounds. I find a background I like and stick with it fro a few months usually. I make my screensaver rotate through images in a Dropbox folder - all my computers rotate the same images and if I ever find a new image ot through into the rotation, no matter the computer I'm…

I agree - it's like saying - remove funky odors by bringing in a skunk. You'll forget about the first odor.

I think a duct tape wallet says cheapskate even louder

You can also get decent sized empty frames at the Dollar store and use those. $1 < $4

I totally agree. I use the mobile version of gmail so I can search and the UI is pretty good.

:wq = The command in vi, a text-based editor in unix/linux , that Writes the file and Quits.

I feel the same way.

For onions/crying, I learned this trick while working in a restaurant that has a major item on the menu that involves onions... it sounds weird but it works... hang a piece of bread out of your mouth while you cut the onions. I have no idea how/why it works but it does. Take a piece of sandwich bread, tear off a piece…

Worked fine for me except for the fact that it doesn't show my playlists. If it did that, it would make everything easier. On your PC, create playlists and then on the iphone you play them easily and quickly (if they showed up in the playlist list like they are supposed to)

Slugs seem to infest my porch every year. Not sure why. Now, I will be putting out some traps for them (as long as the dog doesn't have a taste for beer).

My only reason for considering it is so that maybe I can actually do something with my iphone on linux. Every manager that I have read works with iphone on linux hasn't. All I want is the ability to put music/on off of it and use linux to do it. My ipod works great with linux. Grrr...

Anyone else find it odd you don't see your feet when you look down? I did that and when I didn't see my feet I thought it was a bug. if you arrange the portals right you can see your entire body but when you look down - no feet - no legs - nothing.

Amazon's new cloud player is another solution too.

@jalb: add me to the HATErs list

That would never work for me. If I "file" them like that I can't see what shirt it is. I have many black and dark blue tees. How could I tell if it's my dark blue "all your base are belong to us shirt" or my dark blue robot tee I "screenprinted" myself? I *finally* got my wife to fold my tees so the design on the tee…

I bought a $3 clear acrylic ipad stand that has 2 different viewing angles. Found it at dealextreme.com and can't find it there now to link to it.

@LightPwny: +1 ... I just found Pithos last night and it rocks. I forgot how cool Pandora is.
