Wow!

Well talk about an Easter surprise, I logged in this morning to find an email from Andrew, one of the developers for Newzcrawler. Seems he read my little write up and wanted me to send him some examples of the problem I am having with permalinks so that he could look into providing a fix. That is incredibly cool, software developers who not only provide freeware but are willing to work at making it an even better user experience have my utmost respect, I gotta say. In some cases they even wind up getting some of my money because I find their stuff so useful!

It amazes me when something I write gets the attention of cool people like that!

Also thanks to everyone who’s been visiting and posting in the Forum system. Over 50 posts in one week was much more than I expected! Keep ’em coming!

OK I gotta get ready for the family Easter, catch you all later!

    You know they shouldn’t give very bad worms names that make me think of Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome. It sort of ruins the seriousness of it, doesn’t it? (And yes that movie reference probably ages me more than I care to admit!) That being said, I’ve seen no evidence of it in our office, which is…
