Seeing as how there's about a month left until the deadline at ci5_boxoftricks, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to beta ( Read more... )

O my Windows-using friends, I have some questions.

We are considering buying a netbook to see how the whole very-portable computer thing goes, because it would be nice to have a computer one could actually take somewhere. (We have the smallest PPC Macs -- 12" Powerbook and 12" iBook -- and they are still pretty heavy.)

I understand why there are a lot of vids to Sarah McLachlan or Linkin Park or "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. But I've never heard of Carbon Leaf other than this song, and I've never ( Read more... )

Can you guys see my default icon? I am using it for this post. It ought to be a shot of the unicorn from the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestry, but it's not loading on LJ for me. I get the broken-image graphic.

Sigh.

[ETA: Yes, apparently. Guess the problem's on my end.]

(1) I know several of you are crazy knitters. Is it possible to learn to knit if one only has full use of one hand? (My other hand can maybe grip things.) And, yes, I am aware that I really do not need another hobby that involves accumulating stuff, given question (2 ( Read more... )
