Grrr. It looks like I've been trapped into spending the evening on tech support for my brother-in-law, who deleted a .DLL file that he shouldn't have.
Worse, it's needed for IE or Netscape to work, so he can't get on the Internet to search for it; nor can I mail it to him.)
Fortunately he's got a friend nearby so he can try to get it that way. (He's about 600 miles away from here, so it's not like I can walk over with it.)
Sigh.
Gets file, puts it in correct directory. Nothing.
After 45 minutes of puzzling on this, I ask him to read me the description of the file.
Turns out it was a ZIP file. Does he have WinZip or equivalent? No.
So he's off to see his friend again. While I wait for the phone call to walk him through that, y'all might want to amuse yourselves by voting for our beloved former PM: (Via Jay Currie).
Its time for Robert Fisk Award for Idiotarian of 2003. Now I know that faced with the fatman, Michael Moore and France, Canada doesn't have a chance....but let's not forget our former PM's performance as Chirac's Bitch™. I think he should at least get into the run off. So, with less than 24 hours of voting to go the little guy from Shawinigan is stuck at 116 votes...I figure about 350 should push him over the top. Vote at Little Green Footballs and vote stategically. You have five votes. Plumping for Jean, that is voting five times in a row for him, while it may dislocate your sense of democratic decency, will bang him up to the top of the poll in no time. And, for all you bloggers out there, post a note and send more Canadian votes our guy's way.
