I’m trying to use CSS to make table menus. This means I don’t have to use onMouseOver and onMouseOut events on table data tags.

Star Downloader (for big files)
I was having a hard time downloading a 250 MB file of photos from the Jamaica Missionaries of the Poor visit. Internet Explorer and Firebird would repeatedly time out.
This handy utility did the trick. It somehow breaks up the source file into multiple pieces and starts working on each piece simultaneously. I think the key is, it keeps working, and doesn’t time out.

A Marsian Watch
This article is about NASA ordering special mechanical watches to be used by the team working with the rovers. Everything they do now is tied to a Marsian day, which has 39 more minutes than ours.

Hacker’s Diary
This is a short article about how a guy hacked a friend’s web server (at the friend’s request.) Seems too easy.
What is Mac OS X?
I don’t know anyone who will read this, but still…
Ted’s Archos Library
Ted’s catalog method on his Archos is efficient, but it almost assumes you know what is in the catalog. It isn’t very easy to browse. I wanted to create a list of what was on the Archos to scan the contents.
When I archive files to CD, I use Catfish, a catalog utility, to create a text list of the directories and files. I then keep the text file in My Documents under an @Archives directory. That way, if I’m looking for an old file, I can search the archive text listings.
Since the Archos acts like a hard disk when hooked to the PC, I ran Catfish against it to generate this file.
Having the list in a blog makes it easier to see what is on the disk from wherever I may be. In fact, I just discovered it has a fine U2 collection and an @Downloads that is worth putting on shuffle play. (Kathy thinks having some downloads and listening to them in shuffle mode is the same as recording songs off the radio.)
Did Ted’s @Downloads lead to any music buying? I know in our case my Tom Waits collection of paid CDs has filled up thanks to Limewire test drives.
I also plan on buying all of Eva Cassidy’s CDs thanks to NPR and Limewire.
PCAnywhere and VGA.DLL
Merlin crashed when trying to set display properties remotely via PC Anywhere:
STOP: 0x000000CE (0xbfc19492, 0x00000000, 0xbfc19492, 0x00000000) DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATION
This Driver May be at Fault: VGA.DLL
Used this tip: Start PCAnywhere, click Tools, click Application Options, and then click Host Operation. Change Host video mode to Compatible.
