Hi all,

So here is my predicament.

I have Windows XP Pro on 2 machines, a desktop and a laptop.

The desktop is my home machine and runs on a workgroup.
My laptop is my work machine that I transport everyday between work and home, and it is on a domain.

I am having problems setting file sharing permissions on specific drives/directories that the computers can both access.

The ONLY time these directories become accessibile is if I choose the default "EVERYONE" permissions options.

Here is my question.

If on my Desktop I have the E: drive and I share it, and go to set permissions, at no point can I choose my laptop (CORPORATE\bryan) as a possible machine addition. It only lists items associated with my WORKGROUP. Again, the laptop uses a DOMAIN.

I would prefer to specifically choose the machines that have access to my shares versus the default EVERYONE.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hey everyone,

What are some of the best sites right now for a freelancer to go on and bid on web design type projects.

Thanks

I just wanted to pick your brains for a minute.

When it comes to a Blog's homepage, do you typically opt for showing:

1. A bunch of full articles top to bottom (maybe 10 articles) that typically lets you click on the title or a "add comment" to go to the individual posting page

2. Show the latest full posting or a decent sized excerpt of that latest posting, then smaller snippets of the next 5 or 9 postings.

3. Show the latest full or large excerpt, some other stuff on the homepage, and maybe a sidebar that shows the last 10 posts.

Which one do you think is easier for the visitor...

#1, where they read and scroll, read and scroll, read and scroll
#2, where they get a taste of the latest, and then small flavors of the last 9 postings

#3, they only get a taste of the last post, and need to go click around if they want to view other postings.

Maybe your theory doesn't include any of those 3, but I would love to get some feedback and your thoughts on Blog homepage design and what is the best format for your reader.

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi all,

With the home marketing being that of a "buyers" market versus a "sellers" market, I have been considering the idea of (at some point in 2008) getting rid of our current ranch style 1600 sq foot home and upgrading to a bigger one as my family grows. I have been considering looking into Foreclosed homes as I can probably get a decent home for a much cheaper price then market value.

So, with that said...does anyone here have any tips (from the standpoint of a buyer) on what are things to look for in a foreclosed home.

Such as:

When looking at websites that show you foreclosed homes in your area, they show you the market price and then the "Repos amount". I have seen homes of MKT value: $190,000 going for REPOS value: $100,000. On the flip side, I have seen homes of MTK value: $190,000 going for REPOS value of $230,000...even though they are in foreclosed state I believe.

I guess, are there any patterns or things I should specifically be aware of when looking into a foreclosed home.

Thank all,
Bryan

I am getting a strange error during the IMPORT process in Wordpress.

I posted on the Wordpress Forums, but here was my question

I have successfully "exported" my blog entries from one of my WordPress blogs (version 2.2.1) and have tried to "import" those entries into my other Wordpress Blog (version 2.3.2).

I get the following error in my error log files because typically Apache or whatever throws the "500 Internal Server Error page".

Premature end of script headers: php5.cgi, referer: http://www.[removed-my-url].com/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wordpress&step=1

What would be causing this? Is it a problem with my version of WP I am exporting from (maybe the export document has been updated)?

Thanks

Hey Everyone,

So my company recently launched the mobile piece of ChaCha by allowing anyone anywhere to text any type of question to 242 242. We are actually representing this mobile service at the Sundance Film Festival this week and next. On top of it, we got on MSNBC's website last night: Human guides do the ChaCha over text queries

This service is currently free and only standard text charges apply assuming you are not on an unlimited text plan with your carrier.

I would like you guys to give this a serious shot. Obviously this service doesn't mean jack if you are sitting at a computer, so ask a question you could find yourself asking if you are out and about away from a computer, whether you are at a bar with friends, at a store, in the mall, need weather info, etc...

The point is you can ask 'anything' 'anytime' by texting your question to 242 242. Do it multiple times just to get a feel.

I would like your honest and constructive feedback.

Was it a good experience?
Was your answer of good quality?
Would you consider using this service on a regular basis?
Would you consider paying, through your carrier, a monthly cost for unlimited messages?

------------------------

Here are some actual questions and answers we have been receiving:

Q: Where is a good place to find a good variety of plus size women clothing in dallas texas?

A: Brooks Brothers Woman 214-368-5416 416 Northpark Ctr Dallas TX 75225 http://chacha.com/u/u7zv8u72

Q: My sister went to the Docter and they said she might have cancer will it come back that she does or that she does not

A: Unfortunately I possess no psychic abilities. http://chacha.com/u/bpjxs2hs

Q: Why did kaj take the supervision off Rubashkin meats ?

A: KAJ did this for what appears to be a kosher-related issue, but Rubashkin's press release makes it appear that they fired KAJ. http://chacha.com/u/vqkgvizn

Q: What was brown versus the board of the education about?
A: The decision in 1954 made it illegal to have separate schools for black and white students. Keep on doing the Cha Cha! http://chacha.com/u/0oe89o6e

Q: Is it safe to drive tonight from lakewood new jersey to baltimore md are the highways going to be weather safe

A: There is a 20% chance of precipitation tonight for your travel route, with temperatures in the mid to low 40s. Drive carefully! http://chacha.com/u/b01k60er

Again, I am looking for serious and constructive feedback on the service and whether you would consider using it on a regular basis.

Any other feedback is also appreciated.

Thanks,
Bryan

http://btk.name/jquery/move_items/move_items3.html

I can't figure out the solution to my current problem. Basically, I am moving a list item and its link to a new box when clicked, and then vice versa.

When the link is clicked, I "believe" Internet Explorer is taking the last known instance of the link (it's hover state) and then moving it to its new location (box #2). I want it to treat the link like other browsers do.

Can I get around this?

Hey everyone,

This is driving me crazy. I have seen the effect on multiple homepages, but the effect I am after is when there is a slideshow of sorts on a homepage and there is an indicator that toggles through each 'story" on a timed basis, so maybe showing each one every 3-5 seconds.

http://www.golf.com/ does this, but its not the look I have seen. The ideal look is where there is a large image with some form of a giant arrow to the right of image and you can tell there are extra sections it will be looping through on a timed basis. Think of it like this image

Hi everyone,

I am looking for some good software that will allow me to wireframe/prototype a website layout without having to worry about fancy colors or graphics. Just keeping the elements grayscale.

I know Visio is one that can do stuff similar, but are there any alternatives?

thanks,
Bryan

I am specifically looking for Apple Safari for for Windows 3.0.1 Beta. I know 3.0.4 is out, but it crashes on my windows xp machine everytime I load it, so one of the suggestions on a forum was to uninstall it, install 3.0.1, and then use Apple's Update Manager to fix it.

However, for the life of me I cannot find a download link for Apple Safari for for Windows 3.0.1 Beta

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Bryan

I am working on a blog that will have dozens of potential authors. Is there an existing plugin that will allow me to create a contact/feedback form where the end user can simply choose a dropdown of the Author Names, and 'said' author will receive their comment?

Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Everyone,

I encourage all of you to go Try ChaCha, a new search engine that not only provides the best results from all the major search engines, but gives you, the user, the ability to chat LIVE with a real person about your search query so they can help get you the results you are truly after.

The above link is my unique referral ID, but it simply takes you to the homepage so you can try ChaCha out.

Please, even if it is one time, try a regular search and if you don't get the results you want, try "Search with Guide" which is located at the top of your results page.

If you feel ChaCha is giving you relevant results that you want, then I encourage you going further by visiting Try ChaCha to consider downloading the ChaCha toolbar or even making ChaCha your homepage.

Thanks everyone,
Bryan

Figured I would quote a fellow 9rules blog,

ChaCha Gets $6M from Jeff Bezos, Others

It's pretty cool that our small little company in Indiana has garnered this attention and funding.

Having someone like Jeff Bezos among several other big names interested in our concept, even if it has bugs in it right now, is pretty cool.

Thanks Mashable!
