Anyone familiar with Windows 7 have a clue where I can change settings for the trackpad of a laptop? I'm reeeeeally tired of typing along and somehow managing to highlight huge swaths of text and erase them as I continue along typing. (Thank heavens for the undo command in most programs ( Read more... )

EDIT: NEVERMIND. I don't think this plan will work. :P Although I'll still take suggestions about what to do as a voracious reader who needs to travel super light.

So. I'm trying to pack as light as humanly possible when I go to Europe. (The advice I was given was "You can never have too little luggage or too much money." Sigh.) But I'm a ( Read more... )

So. I'm going to Europe this Spring, as you know. And last time I put forth a question regarding this trip (ie: what to do about a cell phone) I was rapidly given a barrage of information and advice. It was exceptionally helpful and good and lovely. So now I turn to you again ( Read more... )

Okay, so. I want to start creating the patterns for the Yarn!Chesters. To do so, however, requires a great deal of help from a knowledgeable crocheter. What I want is someone who would be willing to go beyond the usual tester job, you see. I will write the patterns as best as I am able, but I'd like to be able to work piecemeal.

So, first the despair. As the entire fandom knows by now, the Creation Con in Vancouver is selling tickets to tour the set of Supernatural. (Info here, scroll down.) I heard this a couple of days ago already, and it's been percolating in my mind. Given that I posted things like this entry on how much I'd like to meet the designers and ( Read more... )

Okay, so I created a post for far in the future, in order for it to always be on top of my LJ. I've seen many, many people do this. But now Semagic won't let me post anything before it. What do I doooooo ( Read more... )
