Any special like tables or something?

If its not word percific, maybe u can just put the text in the body?

If its like formatting n shit, maybe open the *.doc in notepad, hax0r whats there?

maybe word will read the weird shit and translate it coz its owned by MS?

maybe try saving a email in outlook and opening that in notepad and see if is similarities?

im gonna google for eet11!

ac23 wrote:this idea is stupid haha why wud u want a word doc as the lay0ut....i think we can do it easier....oo 3 posts in 3minutes, \o/

ac23 wrote:can outlook support tables?

u cud probably translate it from a word doc.

it does seem awfully long......if u can do tables in outlook.....just do it all in outlook.....why bring up word, i gave u silly answers!11

does outlook support macros? can u somehow get it to launch that template....

why cant u just click on the cell, ctrl+c and ctrl+v

Hey Hey,

Any of you cats know how i can give my mate in NZ access to my computer easily? I want him to be able to download files directly from my computer. I have heard of VNC but i dont have a clue how to do this, i have searched in Google.

We both have Macs running Leopard....

Any ideas.

Post by **huge** » Fri May 16, 2008 2:29 pm

danger danger....

use a direct connect client for os x like....

*googling*

http://wxdcgui.sourceforge.net/

you can set it to share pretty much any file (if memory serves me right)

Hi...

a friend put this post on another forum, thought someone here might have some ideas to help... any pointers appreciated

I've always maintained my gig email list manually, just sending out emails via Thunderbird as BCC, but I'm having more and more problems with webservers thinking I'm a spammer.

Does anyone here have experience using email list clients? I checked out phpList which looked pretty good, but they lost me when it came to database creation and configuration - no idea where to even start with that stuff.

thanks in advance...

mailman will be provided by most web hosts - that's what i'd recommend using.

how do i avoid the computer

Call it a "son of a bitch"

Computers are sensitive souls and don't handle abuse well. It will probably ask to be moved to another department.

nic · Post by **nic** » Wed May 21, 2008 8:42 pm

Hmm 'son of a bitch' sounds a bit mid 90's sitcom for me right now.

I called it a 'bollocks knocker' a few minutes ago and gave my screen a really harsh 'rainbow press' for good measure.

sif 90s sitcom.

Action/adventure starring Harrison Ford knockoff if anything.

Bollocks Knocker is total Brit. See what you have become.

I cant manage to upload a 90mb file to my webspace, i keeps skipping it.

Iv tried 5 times and also as a .rar just for something to do - using dreamweaver, the rest of the files/site go up fine except this one mp3. It has worked fine in the past as well.

Please support my IT?

Post by **huge** » Fri May 23, 2008 6:55 pm

SFTP ?

nic · Post by **nic** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:03 pm

is it like putty?
maybe i can gte you to do it!

Post by **huge** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:09 pm

in dreamweaver you can chose secure ftp when you setup your site i think. i know i had problems with uploading once or twice with just normal FTP. bit weird!

you can use sftp with pretty much any ftp client i think!

i use http://www.coreftp.com/

or i can upload for you yes! huhu.

That's a classic case of PEBKAC.

AKA USER ERROR?

Im afraid it is. Im still stuck btw.

portal · Post by **portal** » Tue May 27, 2008 12:24 am

When you say it skips the file, what do you mean? Any error messages?

Are you able to upload other files?

It's the webserver telling you your content is crap. It doesn't want to hurt your feelings so it won't come out and say it. Webservers are sensitive souls.

I'd recommend you and take a long hard look at what you are uploading. Is it a pretentious grab at self promotion? Is it up to your usual standard? Is your usual standard good enough?

Post by **huge** » Tue May 27, 2008 1:41 pm

still stuck eh.

ran out of space??

nic · Post by **nic** » Tue May 27, 2008 7:04 pm
