What’s all the fuss about working for Google anyway? I’d rather work for ‘the next Google’ … whoever that is :-)

Hi Eric
Did you obtain the workable Nero 8 recently? If so how, because I’ve failed to obtain a trial copy to prove that it will support .aa files. The nearest I’ve got is Nero v9.4.44.0b. The manual says it supports audio books with .aa files but the program does allow you to load them.
Please I want to find a workable version which I can then purchase but so far it seems I’m blocked by the none support or cannot obtain an unexpired serial number.

Comment on Boost Android Productivity With LauncherPro + Smart Shortcuts by Santi P

Excellent, just what I wanted. Very responsive.

I’m actually using shortcut for the normal tap event of the dock icons, not just swipe. Even replaced the drawer shortcut for a group of my most used apps., and set the actual drawer to the swipe action.

The only shortcut i left as an actual shortcut was the . The contacts icon brings up the latest contacted profiles, swiping brings up a group with contact related apps.

The only shortcuts in the home are LP shortcuts for direct dialing, messaging or car navigation. I would love to be able to place these kind of shortcuts in the smart groups.

Thanks! Worked well for me using Nero 8. I did have to manually edit your Ruby script as all the quotes, greater then symbols, and ampersands transferred over as their html equivalents (", > etc.) The process translated five CDs into 45 mp3s so I’m off to look for a mp3 joiner. Thanks again.

Comment on The Star Wars Saga: Suggested Viewing Order by originaldavid

My son is almost two, and making sure he gets his pop culture correct is a big part of my parenting strategy. This order is going in the plan.

I’m thinking about watching ep1 as a standalone. Wait a month and show the kid that abomination as a novelty cartoon that tells a teency bit more story, but mostly just looks shiny.

I also did the neckbeard-y move of boxing and covering the Harmy discs, but it may be worth noting you don’t need a Blu-Ray burner for them; because they’re 720, they fit on dual-layer DVD’s. I chose to use Blu-Ray boxes for the DL-DVD’s anyway, but could open it up for some people. Also, I <3 Harmy.
