Will try a reboot.

Writeboard is completely free. You can create as many writeboards as you’d like and invite as many people to collaborate on the writeboards. There are no limits. However, if you’d like to keep all your writeboards in one place so you don’t have to bookmark URLs and remember passwords, you should check out our Backpack organizer product. It lets you neatly organize to-do lists, notes, photos, files, and writeboards online. Backpack was recently named a “Best of the Web 2005” tool by BusinessWeek.

Seems interesting to me.
LIBERTY: Conserve What?

Conserve What?
by Paul Hein
*** Begin Quote ***
Many of us find the “conservative” position on many issues more agreeable – or less disagreeable – than the “liberal.” But what is it that conservatives are conserving? I have never seen that question answered – or even asked – but isn’t it a good question?
*** End Quote ***
As an ex-conservative, I wanted the liberty that the Dead Old White Guys promised. Unfortunately, I didn’t get what I was promised. Instead Gubamint has made me a slave!
I go around and around trying to see how I can free myself.
The critical issues of stuffing the genie back in the box are: ending the fiat currency, ending the government reeducation propaganda camps, and ending the dole! I have no silver bullet. Heck, I can’t even figure out where to begin.
Money! Skools! Dole!
JOBSEARCH: JIBBERJOBBER’s document section doesn’t permit cut’n’paste
Friday, November 17, 2006http://www.jibberjobber.com/doc_manager.php
Ahh hah!
I stuffed some doc in JIBBERJOBBER and realized a flaw. It’s wants to upload all docs. Admirable. But what if you want to cut’n’paste something from a webpage.
It should allow you to do that. You are getting the space.
Technology: Found a neat trick to put your email on a webpage
Friday, November 17, 2006Use any of the url shortening sites, like tiny url, and push mailto:myemail@bigisp.net into it a get a url back like http://tinyurl/abcde
Clicking on that link lets people send you an email.
It’s believed to be not harvest able by spyders and bots.
Hmmm?

Interesting, but why should someone trust this, or any service provider?
TECHNOLOGY: Yet Another Skype
Friday, November 10, 2006Make, and receive, calls for free
***Begin Quote***
iCall features sophisticated new technology which uses your existing Internet connection (cable, DSL, wireless, or dial-up) and your PC to plug you directly in to the regular telephone network. Stick it to the man – you already pay for your Internet connection, and the Internet is changing everything!

Yet Another Skype.
Except it’ll be free after the first of the year.
It allows free dial in, that skype and yahoo charge for.
But it is as an extension. That may be hard for people to remember.
And, the call in numbers may cause a caller to incur a toll charge.
So, it’s a maybe.
Good for outbound free calls after the first of the year, and forget all the rest.
XPfails – luggable – WDSYNC mucks up
Friday, November 10, 2006In doing my weekly backup to my WDPASSPORT (Sams Club 44$ a while ago), it partially locked up the box. Hmmm. Reboot clears it. Argh!
XPfails – luggable – general slowdown
Thursday, November 9, 2006Last night, rather early this morning, luggable came down with a case of the blahs. It seemed like everything went at a crawl. I had tapped on a link in an email (LOOKOUT?) and the FOX took forever to get to it. So, being the bright IT Guru I am, I nuke everything in sight that I thought was expendable. No improvement. So I hit the big red easy button (ALT-CNT-DEL) and SHUTDOWN. For some reason there is a difference between SHUTDOWN and RESTART. SHUTDOWN, I guess, does a real start from scratch AOT a quick restart, no scratch. Back up and running.
