Be Effective…

Effective Desktop is a set of utilities that allows you to extend your Windows desktop and (the thing I like the most) it allows you to hide your unused system tray icons. I end up with a touchpad icon for the laptop and a LAN connection icon. I don’t care about either one, but have never figured out how to get rid of them – so here is a solution!

Fixed for 6…

Just fixed the site for IE6.0. Content should not be centered either in the main column of content or on the sidebars. If it is, please let me know which page & which template. I won’t have access to IE6 to test it until Monday.

Olympic Moment…

Watching the figure skating – pairs, loving every minute of it – I heard them talking about how Ina & Zimmerman, the US pairs team, had really bonded this past year and how much their skating has improved. The announcer then went on to say that “they now go to lunch together once a week and share everything.” Hey, Kymberlie, and I are proof that that really does make working together a lot easier as you find a different level of communication. Too bad some people were so anti-social, huh Kymberlie? Oh well – we tried. Side note to explain: anti-social co-worker, Kymberlie’s “teammate”, wouldn’t even tell her when her birthday is! She was somewhat icy and was let go on Friday. Guess working 9-5 (when the hours are 9-6) and taking 2 hour lunches every day isn’t too wise either.

WTF is up with this medal ceremony at the Olympics? Hello? Did they hire Cirque de Soleil to give out the medals? This is just strange… it’s so long NBC is cutting away for commercials!

Links … Because I Want To!

Sites I felt like linking to – mainly so I remember to add them to their appropriate places on the sidebar when I rearrange it tomororw:

#!/usr/bin/girl: I used to read Zannah’s site all the time when I first blogged. Somehow a few designs later she got lost, but I’m adding her back now!
– Thanks to Mermaniac, I just learned “How to Become a Lapsed Catholic Quickly and Easily“.
– I knew Liz was cool before, but now she is da’bomb. We have twin glasses! How is that for cool?
Booboolina: I’ve been reading it from a shortcut for awhile, it’s time to add it to the list.
Pixels in Time is another site I’ve enjoyed visiting lately, and I’ll keep coming back for more. Gotta love anyone with 3 cats.
– Not for the sidebar, but you can check out the US Olympic Team online. They even have a section for kids which Jason is looking forward to checking out tomorrow. You can also order the *cough*stupid-looking*cough* beret that they wore in the opening ceremony last night, where Sting performed with Yo Yo Ma, which was super cool.
