Virgin Media suddenly speeds up
Well, after 4 weeks of my 20Mbps connection dropping to under 1Mbps during peak hour, things took a sudden turn for the better this morning. My line went down last night, with the modem unable to get a DHCP address. I suspected they were making the promised improvements to my connection on the uBR, so left it until this morning… and sure enough, there was a solid 19.5Mbps speed test… which has stayed almost unwaveringly above 19Mbps
It’s a little early to be sure, but it does look promising. See below for the before and after statistics (either side of the pink line).
Can’t move objects from one layer to another in Sketchup?
Well, you’re not the only one – neither can I.
I tried moving this wall from the Garden Layer to the Ground Floor layer – but when I tried hiding the first layer, the shape still disappeared. As you can see here, it’s the same dark brown as everything else in the Garden layer. But it’s selected, and the info pane for the selected object shows that it’s definitely in the Ground Floor layer.
I’ve also tried copying in one layer, and pasting in the other… also no help. And a few other tricks besides.
However, it’s not impossible – I did successfully move another shape in another layer. It appears to affect just a certain source layer – once it has a hold of those objects, it just won’t let go. Given this is Sketchup 7.1.6087, the latest version, I guess I’ll have to wait for a bugfix.
Can Yahoo Mail work with Outlook over IMAP
Well, it used to! However, it seems that IMAP support was always a beta program, and thus not supported.
It does seem that Yahoo operate IMAP servers at imap.mail.yahoo.com port 143, and imap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com for SSL port 993. However, you need to add a non-standard command string in your mail client for Yahoo to talk to it.
Of all the places to look for it, I didn’t think there’d be a dedicated Wikipedia article, but there is:

However – whether there’s a trick for this specifically in Outlook (2003), appears to remain elusive.
