Is it Friday yet?

Is it just me, or is this week dragging by at a snail’s pace for everyone?

Found an incredibly cool Amphetadesk outline skin this morning that changes the default template to an outline-type document. It really incorporates a few of the things I was looking for in the way of improvements, you should check it out. (link via Phil Ringnalda)

BlogToaster looks like it might be kind of cool as well. It acts as a MSN “buddy” and if you give it a list of weblogs to watch, it’ll send you an instant message when one of them shows up on weblogs.com. If you’re not using an aggregator this might be useful. (link via Christine)

Scoble reminds us that after June 30th, OEM’s will no longer be able to get anything but Windows XP on new machines. So your opportunity to buy a machine with 98, 2000 or, I think, NT will disappear shortly thereafter. Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from buying a copy of the OS off the shelf and saving it to install later when you buy a new machine, replacing XP, if you really don’t want it, but big corporate buyers are going to pretty much be forced to move to XP, and I think that’s the idea.

By the way, have you noticed the large number of cool tools I’ve been talking about over the last few days? Developers of free tools rock!

    Speaking of Firefox, I’d like to invite some comments. What extensions for Firefox do you consider must-haves, and why? Right now my Firefox install has only 3 extensions. GoogleBar, because I got used to using a browser toolbar to access all of Google’s searches, so it’s become automatic for me to do my searching from…

    More reading on using networking as part of your job search. I’ve been reading a book about networking and going through all the self-awareness practices myself lately, so this is timely stuff. (BTW, another great use for OneNote, keeping all my notes and exercises on networking and self-awareness together in one section of the program..)…

  • No more public domain?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    According to Lessig that’s exactly what may happen in Mexico: “The Mexican Congress is about to consider a revision to its copyright law. Among it many changes, the law will extend the term of copyright from life-plus-70 to life-plus-100. (And no doubt thus beginning yet another cycle of “harmonization” around the world.) Worse, at the…
