More Vista networking woes

My Vista 64 laptop has suddenly decided to not use anonymous logins for shared folders and remote printers. I assume its an improvement from windows update, or maybe my anti-virus products. I have commented, on my >>Vista and Networking and hope to find an answer. If you have any ideas, let me know at >>my friendfeed.

Facebook's Plan to Dominate the Net...and Keep Google Out

In Zuckerberg's vision, users will query this "social graph" to find a doctor, the best camera, or someone to hire—rather than tapping the cold mathematics of a Google search. It is a complete rethinking of how we navigate the online world, one that places Facebook right at the center. In other words, right where Google is now.

Ubuntu, Java and Snipsnap

Struggling to bring up a snipsnap instance on an Ubuntu Virtual Box VM. I have returned to the Synaptic Package Manager and am installing the Java JDK, Groovy and Velocity, not that I need velocity but its fun. I have also included the javadb for good effect as well.

More about snipsnap themes

I have amended the current page.css to include a width and margins: auto; rule. This means that the aspect ratio of the page stays fixed independently of the browser window size. The .css files are held as children of
  • ./SnipSnap/themes/${themename}/css
and the css snip holds the import statements.

On the way to Green Robot V2

I have amended the SnipSnap page.css file, by editing the disk image; I couldn't find the snip. I am planning to make a new theme and make these changes in the snip so it can be exported. I now have a fixed width, but I need to centre align the page so it has equal sized margins.
