Sunday, May 25th, 2008

No single human being can carry out one million substantial tasks daily, but it can certainly feel like there are a million things not getting done each day. After years of trying every complex approach in the book (okay, not every one, but quite a few), I use a dead simple tool for handling my daily tasks. The notepad.

Google Homepage Celebrates the First Laser

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Jelsoft just announced a bunch of changes in their pricing scheme. They must have read my blog about whether vBSEO is worth the money and decided they could charge more! :) While not a huge increase, it’s enough to make me shake my head as I now run several vBulletin forums.
