I've installed this, but when I use my username or email, the Phot Sets that appear are listed as

[*All_Photos*] All public photos including those not in a photo
set

If I selelct download I then get a "no photos selected" message.

I tried with someone elses username and get the folders with the different photosets which i don't get with my own name. Had no problem downloading the other user's photos. So I'm at a loss as to why I can't access mine.

Thanks

There is no such thing as "learning linux" because it changes every year. iptables gets replaced by ipchains or someone adds selinux or decides the configuration files should be moved and reformatted from option,value to XML.

The point is it never ends. The stuff I learn about linux every couple of years is completely invalid 2 years later.

For what you posted here, I can say you're da man for telling the truth. that 4 books you bought and 3 weeks learning linux were so valuable. It took me more than that to understand linux. Once you know linux, no joke, you can set up mail, webserver, dhcpd, samba...etc in an instant. Consider that a start of something new, than an horrible experience. If you use linux, I guarantee you that in the long run, it wouldn't cost you a penny. Linux will run and run until your disk got jamed and your cpu fan burned out. My webserver have not restart in 3 years, my users never never experienced server down. You gotta learn linux, sticking with windows and you will learn nothing.

Speaking of sending via Japan Postal Money Order... I thought there was supposed to be a piece of paper that Im supposed to send to whoever I need to send it to, but now it seems they send it electronically. My problem now is, Im requesting for a government document from my home country and they require that I enclose the money order along with my application forms. What am I supposed to send them now? Do I just send them my transaction receipt? If I apply for the above money order, its gonna take 3 weeks (Ive counted) for them to receive it and of course it would obviously arrive separate from my forms, when I could just FedEx(tm) everything so they can receive it much sooner (its quite urgent). Tasukete kure (Please help me)

I have followed all of these instructions along with other tutorials that should allow me to type with Japanese characters but after doing everything the EG and JP bar never shows up so I can continue any further. I figure that the solution would be when we get to the Text Services and Input Languages step where you Add, Remove or Properties.. That all I would need to do is click Language Bar and click an option that would say show Language Bar, but the problem is that the Language Bar.. button is not clickable, its shadowed and I'm unable to do anything further. Please help me!

Well, you fellas have made some interesting points, but I can't help feeling that you've overlooked something very basic: Japanese companies don't pay people for sick leave. Any days off come straight out of an employee's annual holiday entitlement, which may only amount to 10 days. I've forced myself to go into work in the past if I didn't think that my ailments were worth a day's pay. An hour-long search on the Internet has revealed that Japanese law has yet to establish a provision for sickness holiday entitlement (as of July 2008), which leaves it to the discretion of businesses. Labour unions around Japan are certainly not earning their cut of our salaries. As for Subway, well, you're obviously better off than I am, Greggman-san, because you threw away close to 1000yen when you should've said something to the dying staff member. Bitching and moaning on a blog is all very well if it's funny, but why not practice what you preach?

I got totally hooked on these (like others I see!) while working in Japan. Although being a Vego, I am trying to find the recipes for the non-meat ones. I thought there were a few ones that either had seaweed in soy sauce and a sort of spinach in seasame oil. Does anyone have a recipe for these sort??? N

If someone already asked this question sorry for the repost.

My computer crashed before I could back up a set of photos i had just uploaded to Flickr. When I use FlickrDown will it download the original file size or will the photo be compressed like if I right clicked it and downloaded it?
