Cell phones, data, and power
I recently washed my cell phone. I left it in the pocket of my pants and by the time I remembered it had been lathered, rinsed, and repeated. I left it in the sun for a day, then on top of my computer monitor for another day, then charging for another few days.

Restoring Feeds in Opera
I like Opera. I really do. I haven’t found anything better for reading feeds which means it’s open on my desktop almost all the time. Or at least it was until I switched from Windows XP to Suse 10.2.

If I had Word 2003 there’s an update but I’m an OpenOffice user on both my Linux and Windows machines so for now I’m stuck — or so I thought.
