Music Management Tips
Wednesday, May 10, 2006With over 10,000 songs in my iTunes Library (all legally acquired, I swear) I constantly find myself ‘discovering’ music. But, I’ve also realized there are a ton of albums I never listen to and would never want to in the future. Thus, the following are some of my methods to organizing the madness:
Firefox Find Tip
Wednesday, May 10, 2006If you want to quikcly search for something on a page you can simply type ‘/’ and it will pull up the ‘Find’ toolbar. If you’ve ever had to search a man page you shouldn’t have a problem understanding this one. I used to have the option ‘Begin finding when you begin typing’ enabled but that quickly annoyed me when I’d accidently hit a letter and loose my place while reading.

So, I mounted the receiver on the back of the desk with a binder clip, staple, and a twist tie. Go check out the photos, it’s genuis really.

Internet Downtime
Thursday, May 4, 2006I’m torn. Is it fair for Comcast to compensate me a dollar-and-change for a full day’s worth of downed cable access? I spend a lot of time on the internet! It’s my life! I feel that my inability to get online and watch TV was worth waaaaay more than a dollar. But wait, I truly feel that my cable bill is outrageous. So, huh, does the cable market make any sense? Oh well, with no internet I had to actually sit down and write my 10-page paper on entrepreneurship. I’ll be sharing it soon..
