Lunchtime shopping

Remember when I said I was going to take that $40 I earned doing a little side tech support and use it to repay some of the places that have helped me be better at my job. Well, I wound up making a $20 donation to Spywareinfo.com, and purchasing two paid subscriptions to newsletters that I had been getting the free version of, Tech Support Alert, and the Office Letter. (The Office letter, by the way, is running a deal where signing up for the paid version gets you a free copy of ActiveWords SE until the end of this week. Not too shabby of a deal…)

So there you go, three resources that I find enough value in to spend a little cash on. There are more, and if/when I do some more side work and bring in some more extra money, I’ll probably be hitting them with donations too! (Depending on how the version 1.0 of Firefox goes for me, that will be high on that list, if you’re curious.)

    Sometime over the weekend I’ll be doing some updating of blogrolls, adding some, removing others, etc. Mostly I’ll be removing folks who just aren’t updating very often, or folks who’s blog have evolved into subjects that don’t really interest me any longer. Don’t take it personally, it happens, just as I’m sure some people have…

    I managed to live through teaching database class this morning. It could have gone better, but I guess I’ll live with it. I simply don’t do this sort of thing often enough to have the sort of grasp of the material and the personalities involved to make it much better than it was. Now, I’m…

    Craig wrote, in response to my post about using the Googlebar in Firefox, that he uses a toolbar from http://www.firefoxtoolbar.com that has many more options. Apparently, only the Standard Toolbar linked on the download page is compatible with the 1.0 release but hopefully the specialized ones will be soon. I might just have to take…
