Happy Easter!
On 2010-04-04 14:28:23 -0700, John Wolf said: Want to wish everyone a happy Easter. Happy Passover to you, John. Thank you. What do you mean by Passover? In case you didn't know it Passover and Easter coincide this year. I'm unsure, have the right-wing blowhards gotten freaky about E... 16 Apr 2010 10:33

Identifying MT-Newswatcher Files

That would probably make those apps complain that ~/Downloads doesn't exist. So ju... 5 Apr 2010 14:59

SpotLight not displaying comments of camera images

But apparently after I upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard none of the pictures that I had imported from my Canon camera show any spotlight comments. I have not touched the camera nor its settings in these areas. Lik... 4 Apr 2010 21:29

iTunes store problem
This is a weird one, at least for me. Suggestions, please! I can look for songs on iTunes, but I can't access my account. When I try to sign in, it tells me I'm not connected to the internet, which is definitely not the case. I don't see how I could get that response to a mistyped ID or password, but I've... 8 Apr 2010 10:57

how can I delete from my 'available downloads' from itunes
I have 113 available downloads, which I have downloaded already. Actually I deleted everything I had downloaded because I no longer wanted it. Apparently itunes noticed this and thinks because I bought them but it can't find them anymore, they're available for me to download again. Now everytime I try to downloa... 2 Apr 2010 22:35

Is there a program to split up a pdf file consisting of one large image
I have two files which are instructions sheets for mini-dictating-machines. Each file consists of one large piece of paper, perhaps 24" wide x 16" high. The directions are in very small type. When I try to print the file, the results split up at inconvenient places such as in the middle of a column. I'd... 2 Apr 2010 19:17

Context menu is 'click time controlled'
Might be of some interest to some that there is a not very obviously documented way to see a context menu on a file name: click and hold down mouse button and wait a tic or two (even with a one button mouse). The context menu item icon (tiny) will come up and you then let go of the mouse. I discovered or redisc... 2 Apr 2010 17:04

Bean Questions
I can search for and Find carriage returns, tabs, etc, by checking the "Match patterns (regex)" box and using the drop-down menu to insert patterns (\n, \t, etc) into the "Find" field -- but I can't seem to Replace found patterns or strings with such patterns: the "Replace with" field won't accept patterns, an... 1 Apr 2010 17:59
