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!

    Are extensions the killer feature in Firefox? Absolutely. I’ve used IE7 a bit. It’s slow, but sometimes Firefox is too. It has tabs, it’s relatively secure compared to IE6, it has a pop-up blocker built in, it has pretty decent cookie and password management built in. In a nutshell, it has many of the same…

    So Angela’s parents were staying with us this weekend, and her dad brought his Palm with him. Now, ordinarily he uses this to sync notes and other things and he hasn’t, in the short time he’s had this one, made any attempts to use the built-in wireless. Since we have wireless running around the house,…

    Kevin’s place of business is going to get one of those Walmart-Microtel Linux PC’s to see how it works. I’ll have to be sure to keep an eye on what Kevin has to say about it. I’ve been thinking of picking one of those up as a cheap “learning” machine for myself. Short day today,…

    It’s been a pretty busy work morning, between figuring out why the backup didn’t run last night (turned out to be my fault, you really gotta be careful when you change the scripts to account for a schedule change so that you remember to change them back later! Go figure!) and helping correct some database…
