And remember, who needs sleep anyway?
-cranioscopical (August 25, 2007, 07:58 AM)

Babies... But only when we're not sleeping: they have a natural reaction to parental sleep which is to either become wide awake and/or be discomforted by something or other ;)

The secret is to sleep when the baby isn't looking.  :-\

Living Room / Re: How do you organise your 'My Documents' folder
« on: August 24, 2007, 05:31 AM »
This thread is proving very useful to me, since I've finally got a new computer!  :P

I'm surpised how little stuff I actually need to move from the old one: bbLean, Opera, DOpus, Rough Draft, NoteTab, and of course FARR. Files I'm working on regularly, but most of the stuff I squirreled away for "reference" I'll either never look at again or find quicker on the Web.  ;)

Perhaps the ultimate would be to have no local "My Documents" at all. http://zenhabits.net/2007/08/cyber-minimalist-how-to-work-almost-completely-online/, but I'm not quite ready for that yet.

In the last few Alpha iterations I've been unable to launch my dail-up connection, but everything else seems to launch O.K.  Maybe it's just me.  :tellme:

Plug and Play loaded the Conexant AccessRunner drivers from CD.

According to a tech support guy on the Internet:

"Make sure that you installed the WAN drivers, NOT
the LAN ones (which are also on the cd-rom)."

If Windows PnP mistakenly installed the LAN driver, go to Control Panel - System - Hardware - Device Manager and manually update it to the WAN one .

Thanks, but it is the WAN one.

Living Room / New machine connection blues

I finally gave in and got a new XP Media Centre machine to replace the old tractor.

I connected up my USB Broadband Modem, and Plug and Play loaded the Conexant AccessRunner drivers from CD. Then I dialled my broadband account. The modem seemed to be working O.K., sending out packets, but came back with "No Response." I double checked the account details and tried again. Same result. Plugged the modem back into the old machine and fired that up. It connected first time.

What am I doing wrong??
