Apple / Mac issue with blogging on Orble

July 15th 2008 04:55
I seem to get stuck in an endless loop when I try to upload photos in a blog posting on my home computers (a macbook & iMac). Orble chucks a fruit - it gets in an endless loop and doesn't display clickable buttons when going through the upload wizard.

Whereas no probs whatsoever on my work computer, a PC.

Anyone else having mac angst?

Vancouver Canada from $1699 RETURN, taxes included!!!

July 8th 2008 04:33
Vancouver. On a clear day, the most beautiful city in the world, IMHO. And from $1699 return, an absolute bargain. I lived there for a year earlier this decade and can't recommend it enough for a getaway, no matter the season. I just love the fact that you can be anywhere in the city and look up and BAM! get hit in the eye by a gorgeous view, be it mountain or bay.

The native Vancouverites claim that you can swim in the morning and ski in the afternoon, but that's only if you don't mind freezing your whatevers off. Still, a gorgeous city with something for everyone. Don’t miss Stanley Park and Granville Island. I lived at Kitsilano Beach (Kitts), which is also a must-do (really nice sea glass if you're into that kind of thing!).

Sale:
Really Long Link

Enjoy! And don't forget to offset when you jetset.

Get it while it's cold: NZ ski bunny thooper thale (LINK)

June 18th 2008 03:30
What you commonly refer to as snowboarding, I refer to as humiliation in a very public place followed by pain in a very private place. But I know it floats your boat coz you clicked on the link, so here goes: Really Long Link and scroll to the bottom.

7 night ski package in NZ with air from $1215. Pretty good, eh

Get it while it's hot: USA from $999!!!!

June 5th 2008 01:32
September/October is my fave time to go to the States, and now is the time to book. Cheap flights, the US kids are back in school (shorter lines) the airports are less crazy and the weather is usually chilly but clear. Hotels and car rentals are cheaper, and sometimes you'll even get to see the autumn leaves turning, which is breathtaking.

Queen of the Quickcheap brings you another super special on USA flights from my two favourite vendors, Holiday Planet and Best Flights. Note: all prices are minus taxes

The inside scoop on the Top Ten Things To Do in New York

May 12th 2008 03:54
I've been to NY more times than you could poke a soft pretzel at. I usually stay with friends or family in NJ or Philly and train it into NYcity for the day rather than stay in town. Here's my pick for the top ten things to do in the Big Apple with limited time (and limited cash) and some tourist traps you should be aware of or stay away from. Subscribe if you're interested in an upcoming post outlining the skinny on how to nab cheap airfares to the USA.

Apparently, because we have such brand spanking new macs, there is no FireFox for them as yet. So I am stuck....!

Bup-bow!

I'm using the default browser - Safari. I'll see if DH has downloaded firefox and see how it goes.

yep, exactomondo. I should have read your post before creating my own. Not mac friendly.

Aside from the image thing, I also find it misbehaves with links intermittently, especially when modifying a post.

Yeah, I have a macbook and I have a feeling that Orble image upload doesn't speak very well with macs. I just get in an endless loop... I choose and upload my image, it thinks & looks like it is doing something.... then it goes back to a blank upload dialog. V frustrating. Nothing to do with the file, coz I can upload from my work PC just fine. Think it's more a mac issue.

on GM Canola Is Not Godzilla

Either way, whether good or bad, as a consumer I'd just like the choice to not eat GM foods if I wanted to, but I am not given that choice as foods are not labelled. Many products with canola (and soy) in them are GM but not described as such. I'd also like to be able to support now "niche" farmers who choose not to use GM modified crops.

Makes me wonder about all the sick little bees in the Northern Hemisphere, are they getting sore tum tums from snacking on GM crops, which made them more susceptable to the virus that killed 'em in masses last year?

I'm open to GM being all things good, but would like to see more testing and certainly labelling so I can stay away until I'm happy about it.

I have read in particular about certain proteins in GM soy plants causing ill effects (read: death) in tests in mice. While that's simply one test, in the meatime of a total verdict I'd just like the choice.

Bring on the labelling, that's all I say!
