ParticipantI know this is off-topic, but it should end here…
So I figured out why my speakers stopped working. (Lenovo x200, running XP Pro.) You know the little buttons that control volume up, volume down and mute? Well with this computer the up and down ones make the little volume slide bar go up and down accordingly. However, the mute button does NOTHING to the mute indicator. So one could mute the speakers with the button and the mute icon shows no change. One could then spend hours checking one’s device manager, uninstalling drivers and then searching and re-installing drivers without success. One could get mighty irked at one’s computer.
That is until one decides to just push the little buttons and see if that changes anything. VOY-LA.
/yeah, I know it is voila.
//happy that I figured it out.
///Still a little pissed at Lenovo. 🙂May 14, 2009 at 4:32 am #22199justkat

ParticipantThanks for the FF extension links justkat. The right click thing seems to have done something to the clipboard function though( I can copy if I do the control thing but it wont let me paste any thing.? oh well thats fixable. There are a lot of excellent pictures again this week.. and year for that matter.My voting finger is tired now.

and you’re welcome! =D
May 14, 2009 at 4:49 am #22202ParticipantI think it is only copy n pasta links that are malfunctioning. which is a minor bummer but I will figure it out.

ParticipantWell, people like my highest vote-getters, again. Now if I could only figure out WHY they are my highest vote getters, and how to reproduce that in other themes.
(For example, I don’t find my picture of my grey cats eye to be *that* interesting, but it is (right now) second in theme. And then the tree farm is all blurred at the bottom since we didn’t stop the fire truck.)May 14, 2009 at 3:51 pm #22205Participantcorsec – i’m just wishing i had a time machine so i could go back and take those pictures* (and any number of other pix lol) with the knowledge that i’ve gained since i took them. better yet, with the practice i haven’t yet had to make the knowledge i’ve gained work! 😀
*the flower is a fairly recent one, but didn’t use any new knowledge, just a borrowed macro lense before i bought my own. =P

ParticipantI’d be more afraid that you can.
*goes off looking for wellingtons*
can kill it? spider spray. although widows are tough bitches, you really have to soak ’em.
They are tough, I’ve drenched a black widow in WD-40 and it still lived, so I had to close the window on it a few times.

Being chatty is what this place is all about. If we all sat here staring at our screens then this site would be pointless.
Hope ya feel better soon 🙂

You know that “are to be seen and not heard” thing has fell out of fashion a couple years ago, right?

Er, ummm, I meant the new version allows for you to be heard vacuuming or saying things like “here’s your steak” and “sure, just let me brush my teeth first so it’s nice and clean”
