2001 Volvo V70 rear tail lights/rear fog lights
The 2001 Volvo V70 has a feature (factory option?) that allows one to turn on rear fog lights, which are basically really bright tail lights. The rear fog lights sit behind red lenses, and are just above the reverse lights (back up lights).
The Volvo part no. is 989823-0. The actual bulb is an Osram bulb, which has the following markings: Osram 3K 7225 LF 12VP21/4W
It is a two-filament bulb, one of which is 21 watts and the other is 4 watts (I think).

2005 Volvo S60 and 2001 Volvo V70 license plate illumination light bulb
I used Napa Auto Parts stock no. BP194 - the 194 bulb is a wedge bulb.
Use a T25 Torx wrench, take the one screw out then slide the plastic lens assembly sideways, towards the side from which the screw was removed, until the unseen plastic ear on the other side is clear of the light assembly hole's perimeter. The rubber gasket may be stuck to the paint - I used wooden stir sticks from the coffee bar at Starbuck's to pry it gently. I used silicone grease on the bulb contacts and rubber gasket when reassembling.
Apparently, the "BP" in "BP194" simply means "blister pack" - i.e., packaged as two bulbs on a display card.
Bulb specification:
"194 lamp = 3.78 watts, .27 ampere, rated 1500 hours, a.c.; a bit less light than 168, 1500 hour life."
See also, e.g., servicelighting.com: link
******
Follow-up:
on my V70, the new bulb was slightly dimmer than the remaining good bulb on the other side of the license plate. It would seem that the 194 bulb should be replaced with a 5 watt bulb with an equivalent base (the S60 owner's manual says the bulb should be 5 watt). Not sure what that bulb part no. is though...
As near as I can tell, the markings on the original (dead) bulb I removed from the 2005 S60 said:
P12VED 2DA W5WH4 (or perhaps W5W H4, i.e., with a space)
However, I can't find anything like that listed on the 'net.

bulb failure position light
used bulb no. 1073 (got a box of 10 off eBay). Volvo S60, V70
update: the 1073 bulb is too big. The base is correct, but the glass portion of the bulb has a diameter that is too large to fit into the opening in the lens assembly.
further update: apparently the correct bulb is Wagner part no. 17171 (aka BP17171). http://www.donsbulbs.com/ has great info, but ridiculous prices. Anyway, the following is from DonsBulbs.com:

****Update (this is really a prologue):
The incandescent bulbs discussed above are to replace some absolute cr*p LED bulbs that I bought on eBay from virtualvillage-usa. The seller was actually very good in terms of customer service, even sending me free replacements for my first set of failed LED bulbs. However, their customer service can't offset the fact that the product is completely worthless, with bulb life being measured in days (for some) to weeks (for most), with only one bulb or two bulbs out of the eight that I installed lasting for more than two months. Clearly an inferior product, unfortunately.

Volvo V70 cargo area lamp Philips 12866
2001 Volvo V70 cargo area lamp (dome light bulb) Philips 12866. This lamp is also known as a Festoon style bulb. They come in all kinds of sizes - make sure you get one that is 41 mm long, 10W (10 watts). 12V (12 volts) of course.
I've also seen the part no. K25673 associated with them, but I have no idea if that is accurate.
I found them for a buck apiece at Totally Clean Marine (www.totallycleanmarine.com). Shipping was $6.95, so I got a few just to ease the pain.
Totally Clean Marine describes the bulb as follows:
For all I know, it's available at the local auto parts store. However, I didn't feel like running around town looking for it.
Atlanta Light Bulbs sells them in lots of 10:
You can also get them from Donsbulbs.com for, get this, $22 each!:
At least your $ gets you a good description of the bulb: link

Search Craigslist using a Boolean OR
Thanks so much to Lifehacker.com.au for this one
I want to search Craigslist for Volvo wheels, using a combination of AND'ed, OR'ed and excluded terms:
volvo ('rims 'tires 'wheels) -850 -740
The term "volvo" is required. One of the terms "rims" "tires" "wheels" is required. Search results that include either "850" or "740" are filtered out, i.e., excluded.
The apostrophe works as a Boolean OR, and the parenthesis work to require a Boolean AND between "volvo" and the terms inside the parenthesis.

TagBot for OS X Leopard not working, BigRobot Software out of business?
I've been playing with TagBot for OS X (Leaopard), and it has a lot of nice features. However, for some reason it overwrites its previous tags, rather than adding to them. As far as I can tell, there is no TagBot support whatsoever, whether on line at BigRobotSoftware.com, or via e-mail. Indeed, my email inquiries have generated no response whatsoever.
It looks like TagBot was a waste of money and time.

1997 Land Rover Discovery - reset ABS warning light
The following are instructions I found on the 'net. They worked perfectly for me on our 1997 Land Rover Discovery to reset the ABS warning light. Our car as the OBD-II connector under the dash, projecting through the fashia just below the fuse box and above the gas pedal.
*********************
*********************
Below are four pictures and some videos showing where the Testbook Connector (OBD-II connector / Diagnostic Test Connector) is located, what the pinout looks like, and the jumpers I used to initiate the blink codes.
*********************
The videos below show the blink codes being read out. The first code is 2-6, the second is 2-14, and the third is 5-14. Below the videos is a post copied from the web explaining the codes (the post also explains how to do this on a different Land Rover).

*********************
ABS Fault Blink Code Diagnostic Procedure
MODEL:
Discovery
AFFECTED VEHICLES
LP
LH
LJ TA163104 onwards
LJ TA501920 onwards
DETAIL
If diagnostic equipment is not available (i.e. there is not a current TestBook disk available) the following procedure can be carried out using the "Blink Code" method to read fault codes. Faults are stored in the ECU memory in code form, which can be retrieved by initiating and reading a series of flash and pause sequences on the ABS warning light.
ACTION REQUIRED
If diagnostic equipment is not available follow the procedure below to diagnose an ABS fault.
PARTS INFORMATION
YPJ10015 - terminal - 2 required (available in LRNA Terminal Kit).
PROCEDURE
1. Fabricate a jumper wire with YPJ10015 terminals and appropriate wire (6" length 16 gauge).
2. Locate TestBook diagnostic connector under dash. Connect jumper wire to pins 5 and 15 and turn ignition to position 2.
3. Five seconds after the ignition is turned to position 2 the Anti-Lock warning light will extinguish, indicating the start of the cycle.
4. Observe the Anti-Lock warning light, the start phase of the blink code is signified by the following:
- Pause = 2.5 secs. (long)
- Flash = 2.5 secs. (long)
- Pause = 2.5 secs. (long)
- Flash = 0.5 secs. (short)
5. The first part of the code number is determined by a pause of 2.5 secs. which precedes a series of short flashes then a long pause. The number of short flashes is equal to the first digit in the fault code.
6. The second digit in the code number is determined after a pause of 2.5 secs. which occurs between the first and second code flashes. After the pause there will be a number of short flashes, the number of flashes is equal to the second digit in the fault code. After the flashes there will be another pause of 2.5 seconds before the system repeats the flash and pause sequence. This will allow for a verification of the code or if the initial flash and pause sequence was missed.
7. The sequence of the start phase, first and second code parts will continue until terminated by the operator. To terminate the code sequence disconnect the jumper wire.
NOTE:Termination will clear the memory of that particular fault, and the fault will not be retrievable. Do not terminate the sequence if unsure of the code number.
8. The memory is capable of storing more than one fault. To search the memory, after the jumper wire is disconnected wait until the Anti-Lock light illuminates and then turn the ignition off, the code is now completely cleared. To obtain the next code repeat the procedure from step 2.
9. If there are no faults remaining there will be a long pause of 7.5 secs. after the start phase.
10. Once all the codes have been obtained and cleared, locate the problem cause and rectification for each code and fix accordingly.
FAULT CODE LIST
KEY: IV - Inlet Valve, OV - Outlet Value, RCP - Recirculation pump (ABS pump)
Sensor check:
1. Carry out multimeter test, check electrical resistance of sensor, this should be 700-2000 ohms. Check sensor voltage output, this should be greater than or equal to 0.93 VAC RMS when rotating the wheel at 1 rev/sec.
2. Check sensor air gap. Push sensor through bush until it touches exciter ring. Sensor will be knocked back to correct position when the vehicle is driven.
3. Check run out of the exciter ring and rectify if necessary.
4. Check bearing play and adjust if necessary.
5. Check sensor bush and exchange if necessary.
*********************
Below are four pictures and some videos showing where the Testbook Connector (OBD-II connector / Diagnostic Test Connector) is located, what the pinout looks like, and the jumpers I used to initiate the blink codes.
The picture below shows my jumper setup. FANCY! The wires were too small a gauge, so I folded them over and squished the fold with pliers. They fit nicely after that.
*********************
The videos below show the blink codes being read out. The first code is 2-6, the second is 2-14, and the third is 5-14. Below the videos is a post copied from the web explaining the codes (the post also explains how to do this on a different Land Rover).
*********************
Just behind the driver's feet is a plastic panel. Remove that panel and locate the blue ABS diagnostic connector. Use a paper clip to jump the black and black/pink wires together. Remove the trim panel on the door side of the seat and remove the ABS light relay. It will be either blue or green depending on the year of the vehicle. Turn on the key (don't engage the starter) and the anti-lock light will begin a series of blinks. The first will be a long blink followed by a short blink. This indicates that the ECU is in diagnostic mode. Start counting the blinks after that. The first code that comes up will be something like blink, blink, a 2.5 second pause, and then blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, blink to indict a failure code of 2-6. Each stored code will display this way 3 times before the next one starts. It is a slow process (especially if you have 4-15's and 6-15's stored) but it works.
The Codes:
Code 2-6 - Faulty stoplight switch or wiring. Fuse A5 blown or not fitted
Code 2-7 - Continuous supply to ECU with ignition off. Faulty valve relay or wiring Code 2-8 - No voltage to ABS solenoid valves. Faulty valve relay or wiring.
Code 2-12 - Front right, too large an air gap or the sensor has been forced out by exciter ring.
Code 2-13 - Rear left, too large an air gap or the sensor has been forced out by exciter ring.
Code 2-14 - Front left, too large an air gap or the sensor has been forced out by exciter ring.
Code 2-15 - Rear right, too large an air gap or the sensor has been forced out by exciter ring.
Code 3-0 to 3-9 - Open circuit in connection from ECU to solenoid valve in booster, or in ECU
Code 4-0 to 4-9 - Short circuit to earth in connection from ECU to solenoid valve in booster
Code 4-12 - Front right, wiring to sensor broken or sensor resistance too high.
Code 4-13 - Rear left, wiring to sensor broken or sensor resistance too high.
Code 4-14 - Front left, wiring to sensor broken or sensor resistance too high. Code 4-15 - Rear right, wiring to sensor broken or sensor resistance too high.
Code 5-0 to 5-9 - Short circuit to 12volt in connection from ECU to solenoid valve in booster, possible earth fault.Code 5-12 - Front right, intermittent fault with sensor or wiring
Code 5-13 - Rear left, intermittent fault with sensor or wiring
Code 5-14 - Front left, intermittent fault with sensor or wiring
Code 5-15 - Rear right, intermittent fault with sensor or wiring
Code 6-0 to 6-9 - Short circuit between two connection from ECU to solenoid valve in booster.
Code 6-12 - Front right, no output from sensor, sensor may have too large an air gap.
Code 6-13 - Rear left, no output from sensor, sensor may have too large an air gap.
Code 6-14 - Front left, no output from sensor, sensor may have too large an air gap.
Code 6-15 - Rear right, no output from sensor, sensor may have too large an air gap.
To clear the code, pull out the paper clip whle the code is flashing. I only had one code for my problem, but for multiple codes, I understand that the next code will come up after you clear the current one. You might need to turn the ignition off, replace the jumper and turn back on for that, though.

1997 Land Rover Discovery short circuit on Fuse 8
1997 Land Rover Discovery short circuit on Fuse 8 (fascia fuse box fuse F8) has finally been cured.
Symptoms: no dinging alarm bell when you have the driver's side (left side) door open and the headlights (or running lights) on; no dash lights (no dashboard illumination); no clock light (backlight - the light behind the clock); no passenger side (right side) running lights, including no righthand tail light.
The cause turned out to be a broken piece of plastic on the glove compartment light. Opening the glove compartment door immediately blew the fuse. If Land Rover had spent 10 seconds thinking about this, they would have foreseen it. Oh well.
Here's a short video clip of the bad glove box light (glove compartment light) that resulted in the blown fuse at F8 in the fascia fuse box:

1997 Land Rover Discovery, Fuse #8 keeps blowing. When it blows the passenger side exterior side and rear lights go out and also the instrument cluster.
What causes the fuse to keep blowing every time I put in a new one?

Thunderbird email client integrated with Gmail
GCALDaemon lets Thunderbird pull its contacts "live" from Gmail.
See: <http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/usage12.html>
and: <http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/usage4.html>
and: <http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/lingon.html>
Requires a bit of thought to get the Terminal commands right when setting it up, but seems to work well once installed and set up.

Volvo repairs at Don Beyer Volvo, Falls Church, VA
2008_01_24 (Thursday) - in to work early to drop off car, again. Dropped off car and showed Chris Prevatt the sound that comes from the steering column during low speed, full lock turns. He said it is likely that the steering column rubber boot needs lubricant. Picked up car later in the day, with everything apparently having been fixed (finally).
2008_01_21 (Monday) - Chris Prevatt called to say part had come in.
2008_01_15 (Tuesday) - Chris Prevatt called to say that part did not come in with the morning parts shipment, but it might arrive in the afternoon parts shipment. Later in the day, he called to say that the part did not come in with the afternoon shipment, and that it was expected to come into New Jersey on January 21st. Interestingly, he mentioned that they would "put that regulator on there" even though the part is supposedly a fuel tank sending unit.
2008_01_11 (Friday) - took the Ford Taurus loaner car home (front tire seriously low on air)

More on reauthoring DVD's - multiple shows
Some DVD's have two, three or more short movies. Toast's "main feature" selection won't work with those.
For such discs:
Rip the DVD to the hard disc using Mac the Ripper (Mac OS X)
View the file properties for the VOB files in the finder to see which ones are biggest.
In Toast, choose the 'Video' tab, and then the 'DVD-Video' radio button. Check the boxes for 'auto play disc on insert' and 'play items continuously'. In Toast's main window, add the VOB files you want.
Note about audio - the VOB files should have the audio track embedded in them. In Toast's main window, select one of the VOB files and then click the 'edit' button - you should see file details about the VOB file, including whether it has any audio.
