Month: January 2002

The song going over & over in my mind right now? “I’ve got my … I ‘ve got my … I’ve got my TechTV!” Yes, after a quick call to TimeWarner of Houston, I discovered that TechTV is on channel 210, not channel 16 as I originally thought. And what am I watching right now? Call for Help with the blogging host, Chris Pirillo! Yes, I was still pretty much wide awake at 1:45am, so I decided to push the envelope and stay up just to catch Chris on TV. Good thing I did too, he is covering the latest virus, the “My Party” virus. For the first time in many years, I almost fell for it. I almost did it … I almost clicked the link which claimed to be a copy of a website. Something told me to stop and think twice about opening that attachment. There is more information about the virus at VirusInfo.com.

I’ve got TechTV! If you never hear from me again, it’s because I am sitting on the couch gathering dust while I watch TechTV!

It’s time again for PromoGuy’s Monday Mission v2.4!

I have too many fonts stored on my computer. Well, not too many for Windows to happily run, but … still too many. It is annoying and slow to browse through them when I am looking for the right font, so I quickly snagged the onfocus: font browser. Yes, with one handy click, I can browse the fonts installed on my computer in a browser window. Very handy!

The time has come to unveil the …

Pixelog!

I have to say right here & now that Jennifer did a FANTASTIC job of translating my design and programming ideas into reality while adding ideas of her own. As I said in the “photographer” page there, for many months I have wanted to set up a photolog to showcase all of the images I have been gathering through the years, but the ideas I had in my mind for how the “Pixelog” (as it has come to be known) should work were trapped there – I did not have the programming knowledge or the full web design skills to make the vision complete. Jennifer came to my rescue and has assisted me in turning what was a vision into a reality in less then a week, and I am forever grateful to her. I think it is the perfect showcase for my photography. Thank you, Jennifer!

First I have to confess – I never use “Favorites” in IE. I almost always send shortcuts to the desktop until the time comes when I post about things I have found here because then I can run a search for “that thing that does this…” and find the post. But I am using the Cheatsheet Creator 1.1 right now so I can quickly jump to things that I need all the time at home & at work. Like a “whois” search that I just had to do to find out what country a potential client is in. It’s the best thing since … well, Tivo, since Tivo is the best thing since sliced bread! [via Kymberlie]
