Catching my eye this morning

In the most recent edition of Support Alert, a site to share large files with a friend, and a free Excel add-in:

Dropload is a free web service that allows you upload files to
their server that can then be picked up by someone else. The
intended recipient automatically receives an email from Dropload
telling them that the file is available along with download
instructions. Maximum file size is 100MB and all files are
deleted after seven days whether they are collected or not.

In Issue 113, I mentioned WordToys a program that provides a set
of enhanced functions for MS Word. Subscriber John Viney has
written in to let me know about the ASAP Utilities program that
provides a similar set of enhancements for Excel. I checked it
out and it’s quite impressive with over 300 individual functions
and tools. I particularly liked the one that allowed you to
automatically color alternating lines. It’s a presentation style
I use a lot and have always had to do manually. The good news is
that the ASAP utilities are free. Excel 97-2003, 1.8MB.

And yes, Support Alert is definitely one of those news letters that I highly recommend!

    Forget what I said in the last post, Yahoo has apparently decided that new groups get the ads at the top. Big old flashing, intrusive ads too, yeech! So I deleted that group and started one over at Topica. Same deal, you can subscribe over there in the left margin. I’ve set the list to…

    I downloaded and played around a bit with Dave’s OPML Editor last night because I thought I might have use for an online outliner. You can see the result here. I think it’s a decent tool, and useful for a lot of things, but I’m not sure it’s the right tool for what I want…

    Day two of the speakers part of Gnomedex is over. Sorry I didn’t get to blog any earlier, I had to leave my laptop charging as I forgot to charge it last night, and I planned on getting it during the lunch break, but instead got involved in a lengthy discussion about hardware with Ed…

    Yesterday, between running around to meetings (I was out of the office attending meetings regarding other, personal, interests, bet you didn’t even notice?) I loaded up Trillian and ran into an error connecting to ICQ. Last night I did it again. I made a note to check the Trillian user forums and see if this…
