Test Post

Now that I've changed webhosts, nothing is posting right again.


The new host uses a totally different ftp process from the previous host. Nothing I try seems to work right. Beginning to upset me. Ya know!?


Happy Updates!: I managed to finally update all of the stuff that had to be updated - and, as you can tell, we are posting again! WooHoo!!

Blogging Nightmare

I have been battling with Blogger and Thingamablog for almost 4 months now. It is absolutely driving me crazy! If - and this is a big one - I can get something to post on one, I can't get it to update on the other.


So, I am doing another test: to make sure that I can post on blogger AND that I can update Thingamablog. I'm still not certain exactly which format I prefer. The individual post format on Blogger is much nicer; I have much more control. But I have to admit, I really like the overall format that I have set up on Thingamablog.


Sadly, in the midst of all these trials (and tribulations) I've misplaced an archive file (or 3) with many of the posts that I made in May and June. Needless to say, I am seriously not happy.


We'll see how this latest test goes, and then maybe I can get everything in one place -- at least going forward. Wish me luck!

Performance Reviews

Whether you use performance reviews as an HR tool or as a part of product development, the process can be a real pain. Designing and generating effective questionnaires, distributing them to applicable employees and/or customers, tracking and following up on completion and return, and compiling the responses into a usable report is a lot of work. Arguably, more work than the information is worth, in many cases.

What if there was a way to quickly compile, distribute, and track such reviews without killing a forest or manually setting and sending reminders? Well, there is. Take a look at Halogen e360, ready-to-use straight out of the box, or fully customizable to fit any situation.

Laptop Memory

Suffice it to say, I don't know anything about installing laptop memory. Heck, I'm not even sure what kind of memory to buy. But, it would be wonderful to have my laptop work faster.

Not to mention, our desktop is in desperate need of improvement. No matter how much maintenance Mark performs, it's still about 7 years old and just doesn't play nice. There are a couple of games that he loves. Sadly, they tend to bog down after an hour or so, causing amazing frustration.

It's nice to know that we can kick-start both computers for under $100.00, total.
