  DVD Tracker
 
Posting this to .geek because even though it is kinda funny I think only geeks would really do something like this. I just did it, of course. Here's a link to the DVDs I own. The list is partial right now because about half of mine are on loan to a (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Problem with my pictures
 
I think the problem is solved, and I am going to work on fixing all the images. If anyone looks at them later (about an hour), and they are still not working, please let me know. Thanks, Sean (25 years ago, 28-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Problem with my pictures
 
(...) If anyone tries these pictures, can you please try the 1 x 2 hinge. I changed it, so if it works, then maybe the problem is solved. Thanks, Sean (25 years ago, 28-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  "recommended selections" and languages
 
I just got my weekly "you might like..." post from mp3.com, which is usually entertaining. Unfortunately they seem to have decided that my preferred language is Japanese, and my preferred music style is 60s ballad. The language is annoying but (...)

  Problem with my pictures
 
Hi guys! Someone sent me here to see if anyone could help me with a problem I am having with my pictures on my eBay auctions. The problem is that I can see them just fine, but three people have told me they can not see them at all. I don't know what (...) (25 years ago, 28-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Cyrillic
 
this incoming email from elsewhence was munged by a free email account, do you think that would shift them back? And what would you suggest a good value for x-charset to be? Thanks.

  Cyrillic
 
OK, here's a question for you geeks. On a windows 95 box, is there an easy way to shift characters to and from the cyrillic character set?

  Indexing on Keywords and Summary headers (was: Re: reverse indexes)
 
(...) Oooho. Yessss...! Across all the articles posted so far, I only see one instance* of the Keywords header, but I still agree that it seems worth keeping and indexing on -- I'd even argue that it's a bug not to index on it.

  Mozilla & LUGnet
 
So, the lugnet web site seems to work well with the latest devel build of mozilla. Very cool. I'm pretty impressed with the progress -- last time I played with it, it was barely useable. And that was just a few months ago. This is going to be one (...) (25 years ago, 27-Aug-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish)
