I we had basically the same problem, althoug our problem was not primary the spatial separation but a lack of common time.
So I have set up a web server with an bulletin board for the adventure (all the text parts) and a mofdified version of PHPopenchat (allowing the rolling of xdy, where x and y can be any number from nothing to 99 (if x=NULL then x=1; if y=NULL then y=6). The main adventure (wich needs no dice rolling) is done in the Forum; critical scenes (mostly including fights,...) are done via chat, and a transcript of the chat is transferred into the forum (GM's task).
This has several advantages: In a forum, In-Character, direct and indirect speech, thougths and so on are strictly seperated and therefore the gameflow has improved (at least, there are no misunderstandings if something is ic or ooc) . Real ooc is handled via Private Messages (pm), and therefore dont disturb the adventure anymore. The chat was necessary since i saw no way to make the forum tamper-resistant and a forum doesnt allow the neccesary speed (for a fight; fights via the forum are real nasty things, lasting up to weeks!).
Light or instant products do taste different. And artificial sweeteners did improve over the past few years, so that diet-[papsi|c*ke|whatever] is better than its reputation.
BUT: I always found it easier to go from [light|diet|instant] products to "the real thing" than the other way. This can be because I grew up with "real" food (home-grown vegetables and potatoes, _real_, _natural_ milk (without pasteurisation, homogenisation or *bahh* sterilisations) and so on. If it is so, I fear for the generation(s) to come...
IANAD, but here is my opinion: Since permanet, unvarying strain of the wrist is the (major) cause of CS, an alternation of the position of the wrists could be a relieve, since other, until now unharmed, parts of the sinews are under demand (demanded?), or at least the same parts of the sinew experience a different demand.
And there is another aspect: If you type on a normal keyboard, the wrist is often bent (see AA below).
. . . --m ____/ . . nn (m is/are the fingers, nn are the keys)
Since notebook keyboards are totally plain, the wrist is not bent and forearm and hand lie in one plain:
--------m . . . . nn
As noted erlier, typing without resting the hands on the keyboard can be a relief for the wrists (I too had such problems, and since I ceased to rest my hands while typing, the pains have eased trendemously).
PS: If the ascii art is undistinguishable, please excuse; but this the drawback of AA. Copyn paste into notepad should help! In the worst case, use lynx;-D
there was an emergency training in Linz/Austria. The training was designed to simulate an major accident (if I remember it correct, it was an explosion of a chemical plant) and to practice the coordination of firefighters, the Red Cross, the police and several other organisations. Linz, wich has some 18,000 households, is "Austrias powerline city", wich means, it has about 900 working powerline installations. But these 900 installed plc units were enough to completly suppress the radio units used by some of the participants (e.g. the Red Cross). These teams had to abandon the training, since communication was near impossible! Imagine an real accident: No Red Cross or other ambulance teams! (In Austria, the Red Cross still has the major peace of the ambulance-business-pie).
Is it possible that you use the gimp in Windoze? I have to agree: gimp and MS dont mix!
BUT: Under KDE, I simply make all the (GUI-)windows "always on top", use the "Fensterheber" (I dont know the proper translation, but I assume it could be something like rollbar or window lift; Its the funktion that minimizes a window to the title bar, and if you rest your mouse above it, it grows to its full size). -> I have all necessary features on top, it takes not too much space and almost every tool is within very view clicks.
(BTW: Yes, the gimp HAS a steep learning curve. But youll get your reward afterwards, if you are willing to go through it. My first contact with the gimp were negative, too)
PS: Constant flaming is very constructive for a huge pile of negative Karma;-D

The image processing industrie and their providers (producers of scanners, printers, photo cameras,...) have erased themselves from the face of earth after mplementing restrictions to prevent the photographing, scanning, printing or copying of "classified objects" (like bank notes, nude people, copyrighted objects,...).

Kodak, Adobe HP and Xerox have filed for self-induced bankrupty! Hurray!
Well, this (and other posts going into the same direction) post seems to be the most wise and most "dargerous" simultanously: When my father bought the first pc (a 386dx33), I have installed DOS and Win3.1 more often than I have changed my underpants (wich I did and still do every day;-D). And now, I am the guru of our departement, earning my money with my pc knowledge.

Once upon a time (1998) I was working for a cell phone operator in Austria. We (two colleges and I) were working on the top of a 45 m high mast, installing antennas. Suddently the mobile of one college dropped out of his trouser pocket, falling more than 40m and landed on the concrete base. Its parts (keyboard, akku, cover parts,...) were scattered in a 5 m radius around the mast. After putting it together and switching it on again, it worked perfektly! Only the front cover had a crack in the transparent display area (wich costed 12$ to replace). (I have withheld one peace of information: its livesaver! The phone was inside a leather pouch)
BTW (from the link above): Its not the EFF directly that is suing, they just help the nonprofit "ISP Online Policy Group" (OPG) and two Swarthmore College students.
