Big bubble wrap is a prize on the street. Almost like sleeping on an air mattress if it's the really large ones.I borrowed your expertise in this! I wrapped a sheet of bubble wrap around a 2'x2' solid foam core. Next, I sandwiched it between cardboard, then wrapped and sealed that in sturdy black plastic. Now an ice-hockey-going friend of mine has warm feet at the games.-MilesAhead (January 10, 2014, 07:19 AM)

Believe it or not I was looking at these weird things around 5:30 this morning, hovering around the light over the stairs up to the train platform. I could have sworn they were tiny snowflakes.Nah, the guy on the next step up has dandruff.-MilesAhead (January 07, 2014, 12:24 PM)

He does your basic backup imaging(I think he uses Macrium.) But periodically he puts an internal drive that is identical make/model/size to the system drive in his PC, in a docking station and restores the image of his working system to that drive. He stores the drive away. Now if he has a drive failure he opens the box, replaces the HD, and boots to a working system.
Of course if there's nothing wrong with the boot drive physically, then he just does an image restore from the drive in the dock, booting the Macrium rescue disk from USB or whatever.-MilesAhead (December 31, 2013, 12:22 PM)

It should be fading in on hover... maybe I just need to make it fade in more and change the animation. Let me tweak it a bit more.Sorry, I wasn't clear about what I meant. It does fade in on hover now, but not enough for me to see whether the icon indicates locked or unlocked. A tweak might well do it.-wraith808 (December 28, 2013, 09:25 AM)
