Yes, a "hot glue" gun should be in any tinkerer's toolbox (I have several, including one "cordless". You have to plug it in to heat it up, but you can remove the cord from the gun once it's there...

All -
I have a rather large number of e-books in assorted "reader" formats (.mobi, .epub, .lit, ...) and I'm trying to consolidate them into a twofold collection - I want to have them all in .rtf...

How about we just ban children instead?

Everybody off doing something, or no-one likes me anymore?

I think it's been at least a week since I've seen a new post - and people are reasonably free to be smartasses here, so what gives?

Are seat belts helpful? Sure.

However, I don't see that a law is necessary in order to make you wear one. Methinks it's more about "revenue raising" than "public safety awareness" - and that's...

Owch!

If you have the capability, I'd go through and pin it - then weld the seam and the pins in place. The trouble is going to be drilling through the slug that slips inside to take the pins,...

A few years back, seat belt violations went from being a "secondary offense" out here (to be added to a ticket for something else) to a "primary offense" (you can get pulled over for not having your...

Proof that some people should be allowed custodianship of no life-form more evolved than a rock...

I am more concerned with reducing noise than with extending battery life - I plan on designing the thing to be flexible for power needs (one-shot cells, rechargables, wall wart.)

But NOT the typical 12VDC units. I'd like to find them in 5VDC or 6VDC - maybe 3VDC, but 5 or 6 will be easier for me to work with.

I spend a lot of time in libraries, reference sections. ...

Bear in mind that, per FM22-102 "Wall-to-Wall Counselling," that the proper size of dimension lumber to be used with counselling varies according to the size of the user - this allows for maximum...

Saw a vanity plate a few years back that read "BOFH 13" - my first thought was, "Damn - beat me to it."

Google for "Just PFY" as well, see what comes up.

I considered myself a BBEFH, I...

What'd I do?

That's just nine kinds of wrong...

I like it!

If you don't want it, I'll take it instead. I've been wanting a Dispatcher anyhow!

Yeah, I know what you mean. There were probably a half-dozen clients who were automatically escalated to me when they called in, just because it was faster for me to handle them directly than it was...

Only 20 minutes? Not bad - I've had days where I'd have been happy to get a call like that...

The phone support I did was Tier 2 - which means that I: 1) wrote the scripts for Tier 1; and 2) Got...

Why? You're going to give FireFox and inferiority complex...

There's a very good reason I'm out of the computer biz.

Things like the self-styled "expert" who can do anything with windoze, but calls me to get help to install a printer.

Or the utter twonk...

Hm.

A little tall for my liking, but I wouldn't mind being involved in a "sex scandal" with her. She's better-looking than most of the female teachers that get caught up in these things...

I tolerate cats. Only just.

For reasons previously given.

I find them prissy and useless - I can only just tolerate the species because some individual examples are somewhat useful - "barn...

"Dogs have owners, cats have staff."

I'm a Rat - and I'm a big enough Rat that I can get ours back on cats. I don't like cats - I refuse to be "staff".

Used to be, I had to be able to handle any format I was handed (hazzard of having been a tech. I got a lot of files on weird drives.)

I still have a bad habit of making sure I can read any...

Gah - I think I've worked with every removable drive format out there - from the old 8" floppy forward! (Even the short-lived LS-120 "Laser-Guided Floppy Disc" that held 120MB. I actually had a...
