I initially set things up this way back in the days when network connectivity was not nearly as ubiquitous as it is now, and it was useful to continue to read and compose emails while...

[I doubt my google juice here is enough to make this show up for anyone’s searches but what the hell, I’ll document it here anyway.]
For some reason, the vnc servers in lucid seem broken. vnc4server suffers from bug 556147, for which I created a fix for, but even with that, it seems to treat the Super key (usually mapped to the Windows key) as always on, which triggers a bunch of...

That said, I still don’t think I’m doing it right, given that I haven’t seen my initial response show up as a comment or reference off of your original post.

I’m pretty sure I don’t get this tumblr thing. But then, walled garden blog environments have always felt a little odd to me.

The thing to remember about the iPad as a device (and others of it’s ilk) is that it’s geared for consumption, not creation, which is fine as long...

We don’t want our kids to be picky eaters, so we have a rule: whatever you refuse to eat at dinner gets saved and reserved to you for breakfast. This worked beautifully on our 6yo: after the first re-serving, he has been fastidious about finishing his food every meal even if he doesn’t like it.
