I get a "cannot find page" error.
When I go to snurcher.com I get "Thinkum didn't pay her bill,
so this page is temporarily out of service".
Ok, maybe it does not say you didn't pay the bill, but I can't
even get to the main page.
Just thought you would like to know.

I looked at it with no problem, but then there has been plenty of time to fix

Murphy has such Perfect timing. About six hours after I posted the
announcement and went to bed, my web hosting company had an extremely rare
(for them) service interruption:
"We had a temporary problem with one of our database servers, causing our web
panel to show Internal Server Errors. Everything is working again now and we
are rebuilding all of the configuration files to restore any websites that
went down."
Sorry I wasn't able to post a warning earlier; I was off at the regional Renn
Faire until about ten minutes ago (Tom, you missed seeing me in a Jester
outfit. And no, there are no pictures. :-P).
Everything should now be working normally. My apologies for the confusion!

1. Easiest: Ignore it. ;-)
2. Next Easiest: Look at the pretty pictures on the website and enjoy them.
3. Slightly more timeconsuming:
a. Macintosh: Download an archive, unstuff it, put the resulting icon files
anywhere you like. To apply an icon, select the icon file itself from the
desktop, do a Get Info (Command-I), click on the icon in the resulting window
and choose "Copy". Find the target files/folders you'd like to apply it to,
do a Get Info on them, click the icon in the resulting window and choose
"Paste".
b. Windows 2000: Download an archive, unzip it, store the cursors in your
system cursors folder and the icons in your system icons folder. To apply
cursors, go to the "Mouse" control panel and choose the "Pointers" tab. To
apply icons to "My Computer" or other key system items, go to the "Display"
control panel, and choose the "Effects" tab. To apply icons elsewhere,
access Properties for the target file/folder from the Desktop.
(older versions of Windows, I have no idea, but assume you can probably
figure it out from the Win2K instructions above)

You can save them anywhere in Windows. They don't have to be in a special

Sorry, I should have been more clear. You can save them anywhere; however,
if you put them in the Cursors and Icons directories, it saves time when you
want to change them, since you don't have to browse to a custom directory
elsewhere on your harddrive.
One other tip: I haven't played around with how to change a folder's icon
directly. However, you can make a desktop Shortcut to a folder, and then
change the Shortcut's icon just as you would any other file.

Thinkum,
In the 'Farscape Logo Set', instead of Farscape, they say 'Arscap'.
Is this intentional ?
And what in an Arscap ?

Yep.

LOL. Yeah, I should have posted an explanation of that one.
At the Burbank convention last summer, they had a large projection screen
behind the stage, on which they displayed episode clips, bloopers, etc. In
between these items, it displayed the Farscape logo -- only they didn't have
the screen width properly adjusted, so most of the time it only said
"ARSCAP", due to the first and last letter spilling offscreen. It became a
running joke among some of the attendees: "Hey, I hear you really like that
Arscap show -- what's it about?"

Better than, "So tell me about this Fire Escape show." No matter how many
times I tell my boss Farscape, he insists it's Fire Escape.

Not impressed with what? the bosoms, they might have not been
in bloom yet if it was really a long time ago. I've seen bigger faires
and more bosoms, but I was really there to say hi to friends, only
got the one really good flirt in before I caught up with the Thinky
and the rest.

Um... yeah... like me in a sports bar about 30 minutes ago
that calls itself a 'pub' the coke was good, the liquor better
but their corned beef and cabbage was mediocre, and I
don't watch the sports that everyone else was there for.

Actually, you can, with the appropriate software. Just as you can use Themes
in Windows2K, but only with the appropriate software.
Mac users just usually don't bother; there are too many other ways to
customize the environment to care what the cursors look like, and the
built-in cursors get the job done efficiently and unobtrusively.
In any case, I think you both missed the point. I specifically posted both
Mac and Windows versions of all the icons and desktops, because I'm not
interested in getting into this debate again.

Too late. I'm renning ME and you'd think it was 95 if you didn't check
the version. Same teal desktop. The only changes I've ever made is to
switch to animated hourglasses cursors and got rid of some of the
annoying sounds.
Actually, Mac OS X.I looks pretty damn good. I may be switching to all
Mac pretty soon. Apple has a QT movie about the new OS on their site.
I sent the link to Thinkum (trying to make nice) but never heard back.
She must have plonked me. Oh well, I stull might move to Mac. I AM
getting tired of fighting all the configuration errors.
Nick
I do not like Windows ME. It does things that I do not want it to do.
Hannah
And lies about it. And when it gets tired with that, it does not do things
that you do want it to do, or at least does them differently.
Tim Weaver
Just out of curiosity what does it do and not do that you don't like.
I've done so much stuff to this desktop it's amazing it'll still even
boot up.
Nick
I was trying to copy an html page to another location and it kept
copying this folder full of the pictures that are referenced on it to
the directory also. I did not want the pictures copied and it would
not let me copy the file with out also copying the directory.
Tim Weaver
Interesting. You were coping with Windows Explorer?
Nick
Yes. Well I was attempting to cope[1] with it but I was finding it
difficult.
[1] That is a very funny typo you made. If, indeed, it was a typo.
Tim Weaver
It was a typo. I've never heard of that happening. Interesting. You
mean you dragged one html file to another folder and the pics that were
referenced in the html file ended up in the destination folder? If
that's the cast it is truly bizarre.
Nick
That is indeed the case. My wife had saved the page from the website
of a client of hers who is changing domain hosting providers. When she
saved the page to the hard drive it created a little directory for all
the graphic files that go with the page. I was trying to put all the
files in one directory so it would be easier to ftp them up to the new
server. I first copied all the graphic files to one directory then I
was trying to copy the html files. Everytime I would drag the file to
the new directory it would create the graphics sub-directory in that
directory also and put all the graphics files in there too.
I ended up going to DOS to do it all. I love DOS. DOS is my friend.
DOS does exactly what I tell it to do. DOS does not attempt to do what
it thinks I might want to do. It does exactly what I tell it to do.
This is the biggest problem I have with this new windows crap. A
machine should do exactly what I tell it to do. It should not attempt
to divine my intentions.

No, I do not want it to divine them at all.

She must have used Save As fromt he File menu and selected "Web Page,

On the Russian Painting, I asked My GF (who is russian) and the text
says something like
"Drive the Red Wedge into the Whites"
Seems to make reference to the Bolsheviks crushing the independence and
revolt movement in northern russia in the early 20's, which included US
+ British forces. Ukrainian, Polish, and Cossack peoples (who were
involved for independence reasons)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/modern/russia/russihtm.htm
Seems to suggest a little more about the PK's than we may have
suspected. or Just A cool Painting.

The latter is more the case. Here's a relevant quote from
FARSCAPE: THE ILLUSTRATED COMPANION, by Paul
Simpson and David Hughes (London: Titan Books, 2000),
page 27-28:
"There were other artistic influences on the fight scene.
Ricky Eyres explains: 'Russian constructivism was a form
of art that developed before the revolution. There was
a famous painting called "Beat the Whites with the Red
Witch" [1], and there's one blatant piece of it in this
episode, which you see when Aeryn's fighting with
Matala. It starts with an overhead crane shot, and it's
actually that painting, broken down as a carpet. It just
seemed to fit, and from a visual point of view it was
very strong.'"
[1] Yes, it says "witch". I suspect that the interview was
conducted by phone, and that the interview misheard.

After BABABTTF aired I was driving myself nuts trying to remember the artist's
name. I did remember the title, so I did a web search but was a little lazy.
All I typed in was "Beat the whites"... resulting in my being presented with a
plethora of websites full of [TA-DA]-- recipes requiring *egg* beating!
>Ricky Eyres explains: 'Russian constructivism was a form of art
that developed before the revolution.
An art-related tidbit: the 'Farscape font' is called Pritchard. If you go to
http://www.identifont.com/show?34P
you'll see the following info:
PRITCHARD
Designer: Martin Wait, 1990
"Inspired by the strong geometric styles of the 1920's
Soviet Constructivist movement."
Examples: Farscape (British science-fiction TV serial).
Aside from the erroneous "British" bit, it was interesting to happen
accidentally upon the FS mention, in addition to finding out that the font is
consistent with other visual elements of the show.

Very cool, GP -- both the background on the font, and the site itself. I can
see a new footnote coming to Snurcher's RSN... <g>

Thanks for your help, people! I've had this laptop for almost a year now
(has it been that long since I first posted in atf? Wow.) and I still don't
know much about it!

The past several weeks have been educational on this end, as well. <g>
I learned how to make Themes yesterday. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a
few hours to start building some.
