A great text editor is Crimson Editor. It's computer language sensitive for programmers and html editors. But the BEST thing about it is it allows you to edit VERTICALLY. So if you have 20 lines and they all need to be edited with the word "no" in front of it (like any cisco router config ...

If you want to generate lots of responses create a thread where you rave about your electric razor and then try to convert everyone. Priceless. That was a priceless thread! It took all the self control I could muster not to join in the fray. Admit it, how many times did you start to compose a messa...

I installed it a couple days ago. I've been using Firefox for a couple years now. Love it. I do NOT however like that it's not 100% compatible with all web pages. Anyway, a day after installing I noticed that I lost all my bookmarks. As well it would open up tab pages when it wasn't suppposed to, an...

You may have already done this, but have you tried giving it a stir? I imagine that the top layer could have dissipated all it's fragrance. Just a thought.

I just created my own a/s balm. I had some unscented balm and used it to fill an empty 2.3 oz bottle. To that I added a whole vial of T&H 1805 cologne sample to it. I've used it a couple times. It's got a nice subtle scent. It lasts a few hours on my face. I'm happy with that as I'm not a cologn...

Actually Richard I live in Oakville, so I'm with Cogeco. If the whole neighbourhood had issues I would suspect a node issue, or a trunk amp. Nodes serve clumps of neighbourhoods, then those fan out to trunk amps which serve the homes past. And despite being a cable company most of the distance from ...

Scenting the Unscented

I recently acquired in a batch purchase an unscented aftershave balm. Sure I suppose I could use it as is, unscented. But I'm wondering if there is an easy way to add a scent to it. My favourite is T&H 1805. I have some 1804 cologne samples, and was wondering if I could simply add that to the af...

So here's a question: How can the razor be relisted by the same seller? The obvious answer is that the winning bidder walked away. That being the case why doesn't that winner have a huge red negative feedback from that seller? I'd be pissed if someone reneged on a $167 auction. Also wouldn't it go t...

I happen to be cursed with the inability to sleep on my side, the proper way. Instead I sleep on my stomach. Which means a firm mattress with little pillow top. I personally think that the thick pillow tops wear down and eventually turn into hammocks. My advise. Go firm, go sans pillow top. You can ...
