Answer My Searches

This article recommends you shop at Costco during the business member hours (if you have a business membership) and otherwise visit Tuesday through Thursday when the crowds are best.

When I’m on a NYtimes.com webpage and I highlight some text, right click and select “Search Google For” it just opens up a blank search page in the new page. Every other page I’m on works fine with this.

Does anyone know what could be going on? I’ll post more answers as I find them.

I’m on Firefox 3.0.10 in Ubuntu Linux.

Indeed it does. I just tested it. Even though the phone is silent when a call comes in, your morning alarm will sound off just fine. (Disclaimer at least for me, don’t miss a NYC marathon to oversleeping on my advice!)

I got this error when starting the report server:


System.ServiceProcess.TimeoutException: Time out has expired and the operation has not been completed. at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus desiredStatus, TimeSpan timeout) at ReportServicesConfigUI.Panels.ServerInformationPanel.StartStopServiceTask(Boolean start).

To fix I opened up a command prompt and typed:

C:\> cd C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -i
Start installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).
.............................................
Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).


Apparently I had some issue with my ASPNET account

In following this tutorial to make my own printed circuit board (PCB) it tells me to

Print out your eagle board onto some semi glossy photo paper. Be sure to select “solid black” in the eagle printing preferences and also un-select silk screen layers so that you only see pads and traces.

In my version of Eagle on Linux, to select solid black, I simply go to file > print setup and check the box that says ’solid’ and the box that says ‘black’.

To turn off the layers I don’t want, I click on the View menu and then display/hide layers. I hide all layers by clicking the ‘none’ button. Then I turn on the ones I want to keep.
