many questions

Last bout of wistful TV babble for now, cross my heart, but I made the mistake of downloading a Doctor/Rose vid and it had some footage from the only DW episode I've actually seen - the one with Charles Dickens! - and now I am totally besotted with Christopher Whatsisface's smile, which is fine because I was totally besotted with David Tennant's yonks ago.

OH BRITISH TELEVISION. I MISS YOU.

Files on Fabian are mostly sorted out, but I still have some exhaustive organistion of folders and installation of software to do, and oh yes - [livejournal.com profile] baggers? I don't suppose you still have that rego code for DVD/CSS Region Free lying around and could email it to me, do you?

And does anyone want to tell me how, exactly, one imports one's old Favourites list into a new version of Firefox? It doesn't seem to recognise the files.

AND (last one!) I appear to have lost the Firefox add-on that lets you quickly log in and out of different LJ accounts, so if someone has the link to that...

Point of awesome #74 about having a widescreen laptop: I can use one of [livejournal.com profile] carrielh's gorgeous backgrounds and still have some space to either side to put all of my shortcuts and thumbnails, so the graphics aren't cluttered up *pleased*

not on me, no. just google "DVD/CSS Region Free serial" (not in quotes) and just try what pops up. seriously, it's that easy.

...is there some secret to fishing anything at all useful out of the links to random porn, O Ash?

*stares*

most crack and serial sites have a mess of porn ads. it can't be avoided.

[livejournal.com profile] ljlogin!

That one I can help with.

Christopher Eccleston! I love him. I love him so, so, so much. You really should see the rest of Doctor Who if you get the time/opportunity.

And it's funny that you mention my wallpapers. I often find it hilarious that I make them 1024x768 but have a widescreen laptop my own self, but every time I try to actually make one that fits my resolution it's too weird. The only success with that I've ever had is this Farscape one (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y63/carrielh/johnaerynanswer.jpg).

Time/opportunity/$139...

I think it's great! The only reason I never really use people's wallpapers is because I don't like shoving shortcuts on top of them, but this solves the problem nicely. I'm using your one with the Run lyrics right now and it's beeeeautiful :)

See this is what drives me crazy about myself as a fanartist. That wallpaper makes me cringe (the coloring mostly), and yet I spent AGES working on it and tweaking things. I'm never happy.

And why can't you just download the Doctor Who, woman? Is it something to do with those wacky downloading limits in Australia?

Normally I'm not a yellow-brown gal myself, but you DID manage to pull it off nicely :) And never being happy with one's own work is what creative endeavours are all about, surely! *eyes writing*

Yeah, kind of. I'm on a plan that I don't want to change off because it's not too expensive and the server is very reliable - I have a fairly good monthy dl limit and unlimited off-peak dls, which is what I'd need to use for getting episodes without going over the limit, but off-peak is midnight-6am. And I have to go to BED before midnight or else I DIE.

On top of that, for some reason my Internet gets slower and slower and slower when dling large files - I actually managed to get about half of a BSG episode once before it just ground to a sulky halt and refused to go any further. Music files and most fanvids are fine.
