I really want to do this to the people who leech off of my internet access. I guess simple encryption will have to do…

Very helpful for tech support.

Wow. Sixteen ounces of beer in return for donating blood. Do this a few times in a night and you’ll be wasted.

Good roundup of Firefox Extensions

To paraphrase what I said last week, sending an email every night to remind me that my mailbox is over the limit is tantamount to rear-ending people to inform them they’re not wearing seatbelts.

Holy cow. This guy actually completed his quest to trade a paperclip for a house

Your humble host gets a mention in Dan’s Data. Isn’t that some Australian thing? He implies that my photo makes me untrustworthy… Is that true? Should I replace the big smiling Garrett to your left with something a little less direct?

Using MS Notepad to create a time-stamped log file that auto-updates when you save it. This is one of those features that, if it weren’t buried in the KB, would actually help people’s perception of Windows.

Perform your own data forensics. If you know someone whose computer crashes, taking with it a bunch of (un-backed-up) files, swoop in and be a hero with this bootable CD! (Oh, and folks, please remember to back up your important files NOW.)

Also, for less-important data that has just been deleted, a free undelete program for Windows.

After 4 months at my job, I’ve reached the 120MB limit of the Exchange mailboxes here at work. I’ve commiserated over this before, but at this job, they send you an email every day to remind you that your mailbox is full. I guess nothing says “mailbox space is precious; you’ve run out” like clogging my inbox with apoplectic nastygrams.
Yes, I know that my linkdumps don’t actually count as posts, and I’ve been pretty blog-negligent lately. (Blegligent? Blogligent? Nlogligent?) Here’s a weekend recap:
- Friday: Heather flew back in from Orlando. Her plane took off early and landed early. Does that ever happen?
- Saturday: I went up to Jasper to help my Dad paint the mountain house. Moderate bonding and extremely dirty clothes ensued. For probably only the second time, I missed my SUV terribly as I gingerly wedged my paint-covered self into the driver’s seat, trying very hard–and failing–to keep my seats clean.
Also, we saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It was cool, though I’m definitely stilloverdisgusted at paying $9.25 for a movie ticket. - Sunday (yesterday): We walked over to the AVP Beach Volleyball tournament at Atlantic Station. It was enjoyable, though hot, and despite my inital suspicions, it had nothing to do with Alien Versus Predator. For some reason, the women’s tournament is more popular than the men’s. I wonder why that is…

Thank you, eBay! This change has been a long time coming.
