I respectfully throw myself at the feet of the Court Of FriendFeed and beg for special dispensation since I have only learnt that Friday the 5th of June is Donut Day at 1am on Saturday the 6th. I seek leave to engage in the festivities one day later to atone for my trespass on this most......... wait for it.......... holey day
You doughnut-picture-posting folks are just cruel. I never buy donuts but that photo the other day with the young guy munching the donut must have worked on me subliminally cuz when I got back from lunch I discovered I had stopped at Starbucks and bought an apple fritter.

My Facebook Ads page is blank. Maybe because I only have my stuff opened to friends?

I disabled my AdBlock Plus to view that page Anika.

Ah, okay let me try that. EDIT: Thanks! That worked. I was already selected to not appear in ads.

Good! Mine was set to appear to friends initially. Changed it to "none".

I went to that part of the settings and this is the popup I got... "Worried about privacy? Your photos are safe. There have been misleading rumors recently about the use of your photos in ads.

Suddenly something has happened to me... As I was having my cup of tea... Suddenly I was feeling depressed... I was utterly and totally stressed... Do you know you made me cry... Do you know you made me die... And the thing that gets to me... Is you'll never really see... And the thing that freaks me out... Is I'll always be in doubt... It is a lovely thing that we have... It is a lovely thing that we... It is a lovely thing, the animal... The animal instinct ...

"The way you gain people's trust is to earn it over time by repeatedly proving that you deserve it. That, or grow a beard. A recent study in the Journal of Marketing Communications found that men with beards were deemed more credible than those who were clean-shaven. The study showed participants pictures of men endorsing certain products. In some photos, the men were clean-shaven. In others, the same men had beards. Participants thought the men with beards had greater expertise and were significantly more trustworthy when they were endorsing products like cell phones and toothpaste. But, oddly, men with beards were slightly less effective than smooth-cheeked fellows in underwear advertisements. Apparently we don't want Zach Galifianakis selling us boxers."

Thanks, everyone :) I don't know that I can sell the original sketchbook, it's really my personal journal. As I say from time to time, though, my goal is to do some larger drawings and paintings, and eventually I hope to sell those, I just need, like, 48 hours in a day to get everything done... it's going to happen somehow, soon. I have had some of my work exhibited at various times,...

By the way Kamilah? I want the MoBot on a t-shirt.... Pleeeaaaasssseeee???

Yes, giant robots are made of win. I dunno, Barry... last time I tried to make a t-shirt, people got all excited but no-one bought it (DYSP!). I might just make a design but not bother to try setting up a Spreadshirt (or whichever one it was that I used) for it. I'll have to see.
- Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)
I could do that somehow, I guess. I've taken payments through PayPal before. I wonder what pose the MoBot should be in? Have some source material I could work from?

This is how green I am to Apple. I did not know there was 64bit Itunes. downloading it now. Also did not know you *have* to connect an iPad to a computer with Itunes to use it. 80 meg download. wow.
- Mike Nencetti
First connect to Itunes, and I am asked to upgrade the iPad from 3.2.2 to version 4.2. I say yes. The download appears to take 1 hour. another wow.
- Mike Nencetti
success. now to activate the MIFI. (edit MIFI up and running, I like how they put the install in the device) ready to start testing.
- Mike Nencetti
I don't think my wife has connected her iPad to her computer since she first set it up weeks ago.
- Bruce Lewis
the MIFI is easy to setup. To change the default settings you need to go to 192.168.1.1 and log in with a default password of admin, however the directions make you go to a Novatel wireless page, and look for the PDF, scroll to page 26 to find this simple fact out.
- Mike Nencetti
Testing on a bumpy commute home. Connects fast. Not sure where to put the mifi device...tonights testing will be printing to wifi and pc connected printers.
- Mike Nencetti
Apparently my HP Photosmart Plus 209b is not compatible... 210b is. May buy a 4$ printing app, as the list of air printers is rather small.
- Mike Nencetti
Yeah, we're using a linux box as a print server. With airprint-generate.py it works well.
- Bruce Lewis
installed airprint on my windows 7 PC. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19... Took a while to find airprint.zip. links were not working.... I found it on 4shared. I had to manually add airprint.exe to the firewall, was not prompted. when I connected to each printer on the ipad, I had to sign in with my local userid and pw for the home computer. it works!
- Mike Nencetti
As a test, I printed the instructions off of the web page. Then I realized it is 85 pages, 500 meg. the local computer can cancel the printout, fortunately.
- Mike Nencetti
Thanks for that link mike. Will get AirPrint running ASAP.
- Roberto Bonini
Printing to a laptop on a Domain, running Win 7 64. I was able to print, by authenticating to the laptops local admin account, with the laptop's wifi off of the corporate network. it was not letting me authenticate to my domain account. I prefer it connecting to the local account.

I don't get the archiving Gmail to the All Mail folder, instead of deleting. That threw me off. fortunately you can set it to delete. The default is archive.

Signed up for my first NetFlix account. I played a documentary about parking lots. the movie froze up 15 min in, then was grainy. I accidentally exited the app, apparently this ends the movie, and signs me out of Netflix. Netflix has no record of me watching the movie. I will experiment with this more, but it is not easy with very few good movies to watch.
- Mike Nencetti
We had a similar experience with our first attempt at Netflix streaming a couple months ago. It's been a lot better since then. Just bad luck I guess. We really like it now.

Purchased first iPad app WinAdmin, to use with VPN. This is a Windows remote desktop protocol (RDP) client. definitely worth 9$. (works fine over the MIFI) This is something that the Android platform cannot do. Cisco IPSEC Group Authentication. Maybe someday they will add it.... it's not on 2.2
- Mike Nencetti
Tested Print Bureau. This prints directly to my wifi HP Photosmart Plus 209b. There are more features like file sharing that I have not tested, as I use Dropbox. Recommend this for people with WIFI printers that are not Airprint compatible.
- Mike Nencetti
Watched Star Trek on Netflix. no pauses, no grainy video. Maybe Netflix isn't that bad.
- Mike Nencetti
Testing Winadmin and VPN at home. Rotating the IPad 90 degrees disconnected me from my remote session, but not vpn. I just had to re log on to the remote computer. need to disable rotation or look into the Winadmin options.

Done most of my iPad testing. Weprint and the service airprint both seem to cause freezeups on the computers I loaded them on. Windows Defender thinks Weprint could be malware, most likely due to its file share feature. Another interesting point I need to document. I bought 2 apps using my cc, and the transactions have not shown up.....

Mike, try OurDoings on the iPad now. It's better on every platform (other than FF3 or IE7), but especially improved on the iPad. You can swipe to switch pictures. The photos fill the screen. Controls disappear after a few seconds, and reappear on a tap.

"Cartoonist and Sparkplug Comics Publisher Dylan Williams is facing serious health consequences due to a recent cancer diagnosis. The private Williams has apparently given the critic and writer Rob Clough the okay to ask on his behalf that comics fans out there consider supporting Sparkplug at this time by buying books from the company. This site wholeheartedly endorses this idea. Clough provides a list of recommended books, and just giving the Sparkplug shop the once-over it's clear that there are at least a dozen to two dozen books on there that would be of interest to anyone with the slightest appetite for art comics: Flesh and Bone, Lemon Styles (on my top books of 2010 list), Orchid, The Heavy Hand, Inkweed, Asthma, Whirlwind Wonderland, Service Industry, Sleeper Car and The Hot Breath Of War all spring to mind. I'm sure I'm missing several great books, even personal favorites. I can't imagine any better way to satisfy your own consumptive urges and lend a hand, so I hope you'll...

Well it is official, I handed in my resignation today (as alluded to by MC's post here http://ff.im/KDnic) there are some good changes coming. I have accepted a position as a Unix Systems Administrator at TiVo and will start there on the 19th of Sept. :)
Congrats. Good company. (And if TiVo made a power-miser version, which could be actually OFF when you're not using it, even without fancy programming, we might buy one. Just a suggestion there. "Off" means <0.3 watts these days.)
