]]> Part 1: Create a playlist with all checked songs in your library:

1. Create a new Smart Playlist in iTunes.
2. Uncheck "Match the following condition" in the new playlist dialog. This will cause all songs to be in the playlist.
3. Check the box by "Limit to" and fill it out with a very large number -- one that is much larger than the number of songs in your library (say, 300,000). Again, this will cause the playlist to include ALL songs.
4. Check "Match only Checked Songs" and leave "Live Updating" checked. This will only match songs that are checked.
5. Click OK and name the Playlist "Songs (Checked)".

This playlist now includes all the checked songs in your library.

Part 2: Create a playlist with all the unchecked songs in your library:

1. Create a new Smart Playlist in iTunes.
2. This time, leave "Match the following condition" checked.
3. As the condition, select "Playlist is not 'Songs (Checked)'"
4. Click OK and name the Playlist "Songs (Unchecked)".

Most people like to just use the default Remote Desktop Application found in Windows XP. Some prefer to use the RUN command off the START Menu.

Personally I use both since on my desktop with two monitors I can have multiple Remote Desktop's running with little problem but, on my laptop screen space is at a premium so I use the command line to set certain variables for the remote desktop sessions. This allows me to size the individual Remote Desktop Sessions to fit my needs and also gets around the global remote desktop settings.

**Note – Microsoft has released a new version of Remote Desktop for Windows XP SP2. If you have NOT upgraded you might want to. Visit the Windows Update page and look under “Recommended”, you should see it listed there.

Example:

Say I need three Remote Desktop Sessions on my laptop. Instead of using the Remote Desktop GUI interface I'll use the command line to stipulate certain screen sizes for each session.

mstsc /v: myserver /w:640 /h:480 (window size is 600x480)
mstsc /v: myserver2 /w:800 /h:600 (window size 800x600)
mstsc /v: myserver3 /w:1024 /h:768 (window size 1024x768)

Other variables you can pass via the command line are:

/console (useful when you need to connect to Windows 2000 Machines – you MUST have the remote desktop software installed on the Win2000 machine: - Remote desktop for Windows 2000 and Older Clients

I have done this in the past and it works well.

]]> Alton Brown’s Plain Brown Popper

* 1/4 cup good quality popcorn
* 2 teaspoons olive oil
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or popcorn salt
* Sprinkle jalapeno seasoning mix
* Paper lunch bag
* Stapler

Toss the popcorn with the olive oil, salt, and jalapeno seasoning mix in the paper bag. Fold the top of the bag over and staple the bag twice to close. Place the bag in the microwave and microwave on high for 2 minutes to 3 minutes, or until there are about 5 seconds between pops.

(NOTE: Popcorn salt is a super-fine salt that is designed especially for sticking to food such as popcorn. It has the taste of regular table salt, but its granules are much finer.)
