For some reason, I am having problems getting the Picture tool to work completely. The Events log shows the following error: Can't upstream because "Can't read stream because the TCP connection was closed unexpectedly." Is there a problem with the server? 8:34:02 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

For some reason I've been having problems posting items on my Manilla sites from within Internet Explorer 6. I keep getting errors such as "Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "referer" hasn't been defined" A common thread to the errors is that the referer hasn't been defined. 6:42:33 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Oh, I see, the CSS theme is listed in the Themes section of my Manilla sites. Time to play. 6:37:51 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Good morning fellow coffee drinkers. Got a big white mug of steamin coffee. It's yummy. (I hate the word yummy, that was an experiment. I survived. I also hate cat pictures, yesterday I ran one. I think the CSS zealots are out to lunch, but yesterday we shipped a CSS theme for Manila. I see a trend.) [Scripting News] It would sure be nice if they would provide a clue or two about how the heck one uses this CSS theme. I copied the file to the Themes folder in Radio Userland and it does nothing. I guess I need to do some more digging about themes in Manilla.  6:33:05 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

At the tone the time will be 2/16/2002; 7:49:08 AM [Frankly Speaking] I notice that this web service thingy that I published many days ago gets updated every now and then. Interesting. 6:24:47 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

The "retail" version of WindowsBlinds that I downloaded (version 3.1) is not the most current version, which is 3.2 RC2. After I downloaded the most current version rendering speed returned to normal in Internet Explorer 6. I am now checking out all the different skins that are available, such as the entrants in the GUI Olympics. I am probably spending much more time on this than I should. :) 4:55:03 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

I played around a little bit today with WindowsBlinds, and for some reason whenever I enable it on my Barney (my Dell Inspiron 2500 running Windows XP) Internet Explorer V6 renders pages very slowly. 3:58:29 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Here's a page that lists all the Windows XP services and which ones may not be needed. 11:20:54 AM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Bah. I'm checking out TweakXP. (Which is another site that throughs a pop-up ad on the screen.) They have a how-to for disabling unecessary services to free system resourses. Cool, I know how to disable services, so I want to know which ones are not necessary. So I go to the article, which does a good job of telling me how to disable the services (which I know), but doesn't tell me which ones I don't need. Nor is there a link to somewhere on their site that tells me what services are not necessary. 10:49:09 AM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]
