    I've been watching the online show Systm and enjoying it. The third episode was just released.

    What impressed me when I first checked it out was the plethora of video formats you can download it in: H.264, Theora (:)), WMV, and XviD; both large- and small-resolution.

    Anyone else been watching it?

    Firefox extension question

    Also, (not sure if this is in FFX, I use Mozilla), if you open up all your sites in different tabs, you can use the 'bookmark this group of tabs' option (in the Bookmarks menu). Next time you select that bookmark, your selected tabs will open.

    Cheers!

    Yeah, you can do that in FF. IIRC, there's also an extension called (creatively) "Tabbrowser Extensions" that gives you more flexibilty in these things.

    System Processes

    My comp keeps crashing beacuase of startup programs, so I do the mscinfig.exe thing uncheck them, I then restart my computer and I go back to msconfig and they are still checked for startup. I can't get them to go away.

    Hmm - if it's spyware- or malware-related, Spybot S&D and/or Ad-Aware (each fully updated) should get rid of them.

    Oh my God...

    I bet it's still going to be a 'Microsoft'-ted version of the standard.

    Yeah, me too. :D

    If it is XML then they will be stored in plain text, so it will be easy for them to impliment it into OpenOffice

    Sure, it will be stored in plain text, but there's seemingly no end to how Microsoft can garble markup languages.

    For instance, this is how Word outputs a piece of bold text to HTML...

  24. Smiley Style

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    Posted

    Wow, great work. Are you using the GIMP, or Photoshop, or...?

    IMHO, I think the balrog smiley is one that can be kept as-is. Not that yours doesn't look fine, but it doesn't look too much different than the original (and I don't think much more could be done to make it look more "IPB-ish").
