Congratulations, Connor!

26015. alistairConnor - 6/21/2010 9:06:05 AM

oh god if you only knew.

It's more complicated than that. There are two theories at present : we wait until Madame's French nationality comes through; or I convert to Islam.

I wish Concerned were here. He would be so proud of me.

26016. bhelpuri - 6/22/2010 4:13:26 AM

But what's the rush anyway, Connor? The fullness of time is a wondrous problem-solver.

26017. alistairConnor - 6/22/2010 9:45:16 AM

Yes indeed, in the long term we are all dead.

To quote the late, greatly regretted Keynes (or perhaps he never existed? You'd think so, judging by the mindset of the headless chickens who govern us!)

I think, these days, if i were to convert to any religion it'd be buddhism....

26019. wabbit - 6/22/2010 2:58:22 PM

I'm with t'ful on Buddhism.

I have some very serious Christians in my extended family who, subtly or not, try to drag me away from atheism. When they get too strident, I tell them that FSM suits me fine.

well, I'm tethered to a Dell mini10 that I bought a year or so ago, and it's not bad. Faster than regular dialup. This could work out here. I loaded several room escape games that would have taken ages on dialup, tho it's way slower than broadband. I'm sorta excited!

26021. arkymalarky - 6/22/2010 7:00:02 PM

Okay, all y'all come talk to me now! ;->

26022. Ms. No - 6/24/2010 3:19:27 AM

Wheee! Room escape! I suck at them, but I enjoy them for awhile until I get frustrated.

I'm currently just beside my geeky self with OneNote (cover your eyes AC)which I found totally by accident on my PC.

I have no idea when it showed up and I can't remember now exactly what I was looking for when it popped up, but so far I'm loving the dang thing and hoping they'll load it on my school laptop so that I don't have to drag my own back and forth.

Arky & Judith,

I'm heading to Dallas for the first two weeks of July --- or, rather I'll be in Dallas at the beginning of the first week and the end of the second week with a road trip to Knoxville for six days in the middle.

I'd love to hook up with you guys if you're available!

26024. vonKreedon - 6/24/2010 3:49:49 PM

Cos - I so love OneNote, I use it not only for taking notes, but I'm using it's shared notebook feature to do tech reviews of my content and it's email feature to send out minutes of meetings as soon as the meeting is done. Oh, and within a meeting when I get an action item I immediately create an Outlook task and set a due date/reminder right from the OneNote text. Love OneNote!

26025. Ms. No - 6/24/2010 7:25:00 PM

Yep! Yep! Yep!

Our district is switching from Novell/Groupwise to Outlook and I've already got a ticket in to the IT guy begging him for OneNote on my school machine.

I'm putting all of my Lesson Plans on it and I can hook them straight into my calendar with action items when we do Integrated Units.

I'm wondering if I can populate an entire calendar with them to put up on the class website. I don't imagine it's compatible with the Google calendar in the way it is with Outlook, but it's not that many more steps to update a static calendar once I've got it up.

26026. arkymalarky - 6/24/2010 7:56:12 PM

I'll have to check that out. I have several multi-compatible synchable apps like that on this phone but the one I use is evernote.

Wrt room escapes, that's why they have walkthroughs! Some I play repeatedly, tho, cause the graphics are so beautiful. My favs are orange-biscuit.com, neutralxe.net, gotmail.jp, and there are sev other great ones I play a lot. My fav places for new ones are escapegames24.com and escapegame.org. with gotmail you have to set up a free account, but it's easy, even tho the site itself is japanese.

26027. vonKreedon - 6/24/2010 9:50:09 PM

Regarding hooking calendar items up with non-Outlook calendars; you can save your Outlook calendar as a .ics file and this is a standard calendar format that can be imported to other calendars. Now, I'm an Exchange/Outlook calendar only guy, so my knowledge is theoretical rather than practical.

26028. arkymalarky - 6/24/2010 10:13:56 PM

I said evernote but meant easy note.

26029. judithathome - 6/26/2010 3:34:31 AM

I'd love to hook up with you guys if you're available!

Well, say the word, woman! Give me a call...you can stay here if you want.

26030. arkymalarky - 6/26/2010 5:07:59 PM

Ooooh, I didn't see that part. By all means y'all let me know and I'll try to get over there!

Judith,

I'm confirming dates with my mom, but I was thinking maybe we could get together for dinner. I'd love to have you all out to my folks' place, but they're in Rockwall now, rather than Flower Mound, and it may just be more feasible for me to come to you or for us to meet somewhere.

26033. Ms. No - 6/26/2010 6:54:25 PM

Arky,

Mom and I are road-tripping to Knoxville and I think we pass not far from you. I'll have to check her route -- I think she was planning for us to stay overnight in Little Rock for the first leg of the journey.
