Dave, what’s on your PowerBook? What cool apps do you have that I should know about? What Dashboard widgets? Etc. etc etc.
What’s a “blog and ping” program?
Dave, I’ve been hearing in the search engine optimization community about programs called “blog and ping” utilities. Supposedly, they are a real boon to getting top search engine ranking. What are they, how do they work, and what’s your opinion of whether they’re worth using?
How do I learn blogging?
Dave, after reading the latest issue of BusinessWeek, your Intuitive Life Business Blog and a bunch of other sources, I’m ready. I want to learn how to create, design and maintain a blog that’s interesting, engaging, and helps me promote my business online.
The problem is, while I can find lots of classes and seminars about why to blog, there just isn’t anything about how to blog. Any suggestions for me?
Can my PATH include directory names with spaces?
Dave, I would like to use an environmental variable to change directories and included files into vim on Mac OS Tiger. I’ve found that this works:
export pm=”/volumes/Macintosh HD/Documents/pmwiki”
for shell commands, but then I have to use something like: cd “$pm”
Is there a better way which doesn’t require the double quotes? Also, is there some interaction with the PATH variable?
Can what someone does off-hours affect my business?
Dave, I’m not sure where to turn so I’m going to ask you: how much do I have to worry about what people who are part of my far-flung “virtual” corporation do when they’re not working directly for me? I can’t share too many details because the situation is touchy, as you might expect, but basically I have someone working for me as a writer, contributing material for my blog, and I have been hearing that he’s writing some pretty far out, offensive material on other sites. Do I need to worry about it?
How do I delete my second Windows XP swap file?
Dave, I’ve got my hard drive partitioned into 9 logical partitions with Windows XP Pro installed on drive K:. My system has swap files (pagefile.sys) on both drive C: and drive K:. Both are nearly the same size (but not identical) at just over 800MB. I know, I know, Windows XP help states “Don’t place multiple pagefiles on different partitions on the same physical disk drive.”
This is somewhat ironic advice as I assume Windows XP created both of these during its install process. To follow the help file advice, though, I thought I’d eliminate the pagefile.sys on drive K: and increase the assigned space on Drive C:.
When I open “Computer Management”, highlight “Computer Management (Local), right click on properties, and click the “Advanced” tab I get a dialog box specifying “Can’t access virtual memory information.” I click “OK” to close the dialog box but the “Change” button under the “Virtual Memory” section is then grayed out.
At this point, I don’t know what to do next. Any help you can offer would be appreciated. Thanks.
My Windows PC never sees Sony PSP USB connection?
Dave, help! My Windows PC does not recognize my new Sony PSP when I plug in the USB cable. Ungood. How do I get the computer to recognize the Sony PSP with the USB cable?
How do I add the Technorati search box to my Web site?
My question is about the Technorati search box. How do I move the search box over to the right so it’s not jutting outside the sidebar?
