What happened to Molly? I haven't heard from her in well over a week. I hope everything's okay.
Remember she's in another country? :ermm:

Sorry if I sounded rude. ;)
While I know it's probably none of anyone but Molly's business (nor does it need to be), I never did understand what was going on here.

Me and Dave spent a few hours this morning soldering up one of these this morning as my Christmas present, and it's awesome! I love it!



It's basically a alarm clock soldering project that uses a retro Russian digital display tube (which aren't made anymore)... It's pretty awesome looking and it was fun to make :) If anyone wants more in depth details and such, http://www.ladyada.net/make/icetube/ is the place to go. If you want to make one, go for it... Just know they're on back order since they no longer make the tubes (they are coming from warehouses that are emptying their supply). It's really a neat kit.

Localonthe8s' "internet name." She doesn't want to be called by her real name for personal reasons.

Wait, he lives in another country? I'm pretty sure he lives in New Jersey (I don't mean to sound stalker-ish.) How else does he get all the music uploaded? I apologize if I'm talking about a completely different person. Curse my absence! I really missed a lot around here, and I'm having a little trouble fitting back in, unfortunately.  :pinch:

Yeah, he's been gone for a month now. He told me a while ago that he wil return around these dates iirc.

I understand you missed a lot, Christina. No need to apologize :)

My Windows 7 laptop is finally fixed! :dance:  If anyone is using a 64-bit operating system with Vista or 7, beware that Firefox's private browsing mode in the 3.5 series and the 3.6 beta versions can crash your Windows Explorer once you close Firefox and right-click on anything pertaining to your system.  Here's the official bug report about it from Mozilla, and I urge anyone who encounters these problems to either turn off the private browsing mode or upgrade to the new release candidate of Firefox 3.6 where Mozilla has corrected the problem:

Hmm, I am using Vista 64 bit on my laptop (apparently 32 bit on my desktop since I got it only 7 months after Vista debuted). I never liked Firefox, so it's all good :P

Nevertheless, glad you got your laptop fixed... now if only I could get mine fixed :P
