I had trouble coming up with an answer because I usually pull up the calculator on my computer… who uses a real calculator these days for small calculations?

…My friend had turned on the TV in the classroom one day with his introducing the potential for mischief and confusing and startling the high school teacher.

Not too long ago I flewto Seattle for a short 30 hour trip to visit the University of Washington campus. I noticed that the Seattle Airport (or SeaTac rather), actually had bathroom stalls in the baggage claim area in which the door opened outward (away from the toilet). Finally, someone had the common [...]

(Restricted Economy (M) seems to be one of the lowest fares) I ended up with an even better itinerary than the quotes I received; the travel agent I was going to go with priced out an itinerary that had me returning back to Hong Kong after midnight which meant dealing with either a 14 hour layover, or trying to get into Kowloon late at night (spending $35-$45 USD for a taxi instead of the $4.25 USD for public transportation). … STA Travel - statravel.com - Took three business days to give me a quote, will do the All Asia Pass with a $75 processing fee World Travel Warehouse - worldtravelwarehouse.ca - thought they could give me a better deal than the All Asia pass, dropped the ball a little bit in getting back to me but was extremely apologetic about it, couldn’t find a competitive fare and can’t book All Asia Pass because they’re in Canada Lassen Tours - lassentours.com - slow at responding GatewayLAX - gatewaylax.com - quote was high because they required booking separate trips Friend’s mom - never heard back from my friend, though his mom does the All Asia Pass The following places I never heard back: Classics Tour - called them, they asked me to email them desired itinerary International Travel Network - itncorp.com SuperTime Travel B.

Before I got the Crackberry, I did some extensive testing of smartphones particularly the iPhone and Blackberry. Unfortunately, I didn’t happen to catch that you couldn’t easily set your “From” email address header. This has become a problem because for work I send emails from various email aliases and mailing list names, not [...]

I dug around until I found that the information they were probably referring to was the Take It Off link which has their own instructions on how to turn off file-sharing in KaZaA .

… I ended up emailing the Security group at the University of Chicago asking them if they could add a redirect for that page and cc’d webmaster@musicunited.org (guessing that might be a valid address), but three days later:

With multiple websites devoted to certain topics, I was looking for something like the croissanga plug-in that would automatically link to posts from other locations in one place.

… I found a great Wordpress plug-in called FeedWordPress that allows you to import other RSS feed items as posts into Wordpress. … However, I found that the DePo Clean theme was displaying “Comments Off” for that setting so I modified the index.php so that it would be more descriptive to visitors (43 is the category ID for my posts imported via FeedWordPress):
