Quick RTM tip

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

If you use Remember the Milk (and if you don’t why don’t you???), you may get really tired of that cow logo. I personally don’t think it looks very professional.

To eliminate the logo in Safari and Omniweb, you can use a custom style sheet with a style to override the site’s style sheet. The cow logo is a background image in a div called appheaderlogo. Create a plain text file and add this line to it:

#appheaderlogo{background:white !important ;}

and save it. I call mine “rtm.css”. Then

* go to Preferences in Safari or Omniweb
* choose Advanced in Safari or Appearances in Omniweb
* choose the file you created
* view RTM. If you still see the logo, empty your cache.

You should now have a blank space in place of the cow. The area where the logo was is still a clickable link that takes you to the home page.

I should not have waited so long to get one, but I hate AT&T so much. I have no idea how it will turn out, but the first week has been fantastic.

Change to Wordpress

Saturday, June 16th, 2007

I switched from TextPattern to Wordpress today, so some things could be kinda messed up. Email me if you see a problem.

i also eliminated the galleries as Flickr is a much better solution to photo display than my home-grown solution. My user name is PoorBC. For $25 a year, I can upload every photo we take…I mean the real 3 to 5 meg photo, not just a dumbed down version for the website. Flickr by default displays a bandwidth-friendly version, but the original photo is available for download if you choose to print a copy. You can do all sorts of things with the photos if you just open your wallet…printing on canvas, making postage stamps, etc….

Pandora.com on Mac OS X 10.4.6

Monday, May 15th, 2006

Okay, maybe this will get picked up on Google and help someone else. I was trying pandora.com after reading about it in “PC magazine”:www.pcmag.com. It worked fine on PCs, but wouldn’t work on my Mac in any browser. Buried in the FAQ is this statement:

If you’re on a Mac, launching Garage Band once can magically fix Flash audio problems.

That did the trick for me. I think I’ll like this service…

Rhonda’s First E-Bay Sale

Thursday, July 28th, 2005

Rhonda sold this old bank that was in a bag of junk from Goodwill:
First National Bank

She paid about 25 cents for the bag and there were two in there. She sold the first one to an architect in New Jersey for $176.86. The next one will be posted shortly, so bid away!
