Hi aliencam. Thanks for the blog mention. I hope you don't mind me butting in here. I noticed that our IntenseDebate comment section isn't formating nicely with your blog (it's a little too wide). If you're interested, please feel free check out our CSS documentation - http://intensedebate.com/cssDocumentation ">http://intensedebate.com/cssDocumentation . If the issue persists, let me know and we'll see what we can do.

Cheers,
Michael

jbhannah - fun with CSS

Try adding the following to the layout section:

.sidebar {

float: right;

}

Tested using extract & override in CSSEdit in OS X—basically, downloading a copy of the stylesheet and applying it to the page being viewed as you edit. Been a great help in designing my site, there should be an equivalent out there for Linux. Anyway, that seemed to fix it.

jbhannah - Twitter Problems...

By very bottom of the page, I mean right above the close BODY tag. That way even if Twitter does go down the whole page will still load, and all you'll see under Twitter Updates is "Loading." I might do a Drupal or Wordpress module sometime that does caching and only updates if there's anything new so you'll still see at least the most recent updates that can be fetched.

Hint: leave the UL tags where they are, but move the script tags for the Twitter calls to the very bottom of the page and put a list item with something like "Loading" in the UL instead. At first just "Loading" will show but once the Javascript gets called it'll be replaced by your Twitter entries. I do this on my own blog (http://jbhannah.net) ">http://jbhannah.net) and it seems to work well.

Here's another site that I got a lot of good information from. Some of it is Kubuntu-specific, but it's really thorough at getting just about everything on an X60 (or X61) tablet working. http://luke.no-ip.org/x60tablet/ ">http://luke.no-ip.org/x60tablet/

VLC actually has all of its codecs built in—it can literally play EVERYTHING except for a few Real Media formats. It also includes libdvdcss for DVD decryption and playback. It's really the only player you'll ever need, no messing around with figuring out what codec packages you need to install.

OMG Cameron can use HTML title tags in his photos. You are a serious web designer my friend. I was expecting super flashy web 2.0 style pop up when I scrolled over, but its nice to go back to the old school ways.

you're right, it seems to be a firefox-only issue this time. I fixed it and added the solution to the guide.

Interesting, it doesn't paste for me when I scroll in openoffice. Maybe there's some other problem?

I have tried that configuration also, and while it does work, it still makes the middle mouse button "paste."

Thanks for the tips. As for scrolling, I found the advice on this page worked on my R61:
