Offline access to Google Docs

This is a pretty sweet deal for those of us who use Google Docs (because they rock)! Now you don't even need an internet connection to modify them!

P.S.
I haven't been able to get this to work like the video says -- I don't see the green circle or anything linking me to a download of 'Google Gears' and I haven't seen the "Offline" link in the top right-hand corner.
Anybody have any ideas?

P.S.
I haven't actually tried this -- if anyone does, let me know!

OSS is the best, and to think that I can make my $50 WRT54G into a $200+ router is pretty awesome, but to think I can make my $180+ Canon A570IS into something better, that's also pretty awesome! :-)

Add a "Send to Photoshop" Button to Picasa

Picasa probably jumps a few notches on my list just for being associated with Google, but honestly after using it, I would have it ranked high anyway. This program is amazing.

Ping from the Firefox Address Bar

Here's a cool little tip to ping nodes from another website -- which helps figure out if they are really down or if it is just your connection.

Now, if you add a bookmark for that in FF and set the keyword to 'ping', all you have to do is 'ping {host}' in the address bar!

More Cable Modem Fun

Thanks to the World Wide Web, I was able to figure out that it is possible for me to look at my new cable modem via a web interface (and SNMP as well). My new modem is a Scientific Atlanta Webstar 2100 (DPC2100R2).

At first glance, only one page was available but thanks to Google and borfast.com I was able to get all sorts of good info.
