The Lead Developer of WordPress returns to our group! Let's welcome back Mark! More details on his presentation to be announced in March.
Finally found a download link for the oldschool 3DCC, a color changer utility for windows classic type themes.

Many thanks goes to bernadinho over at pixelfuckers for sharing the dropbox link.
Whenever I find myself in a craft store I always browse through the patterns and imagine Grandma making me a giant Frog Suit.
Recently switched my secondary PC over to Windows 7 as well, and besides the headache from getting that playing nice and sharing with my other XP box, I was having some trouble getting Multiplicity to connect correctly between the two Windows 7 boxes and the XP box.
Sadly I found myself getting this unhelpful message:
Multiplicity has been unable to connect to the secondary machine.
If you have not yet installed Multiplicity on the secondary machine, this is perfectly normal.
If you have installed it and rebooted after installation, are you sure you have set the ip address, port, & password correctly?
It turns out there’s a fairly known issue with the services not installing/starting correctly, and lucky for me theres a simple fix that solved my problem right off.
If your having trouble connecting with Multiplicity between Windows 7 and XP, try the following bat file Mike from Stardock put together:
Currently there are around 101,000 results for the term “jasonferguson”, and over 1,000,000 for the friendlier term “jason ferguson”. Most notable content is relevant to Jason Ferguson from the Miami Dolphins1, otherwise there are a couple homepages and random Web 2.0 properties to content with. Jason J Ferguson, an artist with some very interesting installations (including one especially that suites my sense of humor)2, carries the first organic listing for the term.
A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.
(This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
“In life, people tend to wait for good things to come to them. And by
waiting, they miss out. Usually, what you wish for doesn’t fall in your
lap; it falls somewhere in the vicinity of your lap, and you have to
recognize it, stand up, and put in the time and work it takes to get
to it. This isn’t because the universe is cruel. It’s because the universe
is smart. It has its own cat-string theory.”
Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species1. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Greens are set aside in a Brandy Snifter, both in homage to rockers of old2, and for small amounts of self indulgence3 as the championship is underway.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3×5 card reading, “Please use this M&M for breeding purposes.”
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this “grant money.” I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.
There can be only one.
