http://marthas-blog.com Having Fun, Just blogging! (and Ranting!) Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:13:22 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en As in many other computer-related stuff there are two sides to this subject. The so-called 'right way' is bottom posting.  However I suspect this is really more for private emails and not Group lists. Either way, private or a list, I don't like bottom posts. One reason is because most folks don't ... http://marthas-blog.com/bottom-posting-vs-top-posting-in-email/ Snagit has come up with a winner on this upgrade, no doubt about it.  I have always been a fan of Snagit and have used it for a long time. But the folks at TechSmith sorta made me unhappy about one thing. I'll explain. When Snagit 9 opened for the first ... http://marthas-blog.com/snagit-9-and-my-default-browser/ I did something today I haven't done in years. I mowed some of the lawn and I used a push mower. Not a gas powered push mower either, an old fashioned push mower. Yep, I now know for sure, I'm not as young as I used to be. That's obvious every ... http://marthas-blog.com/not-as-young-as-i-used-to-be/ I learned something new yesterday. You can buy pasteurized eggs!  When I saw a recipe for silk pie in the newspaper that called for pasteurized eggs, I thought it was a hoax or someone who just didn't know better. Wouldn't a pasteurized egg be boiled? After all I think the ... http://marthas-blog.com/what-kind-of-eggs/ Every time I turn around, I see or hear about another ripoff for the average consumer. There are so many ripoffs it would be impossible to name them all. This is not the first time I've griped about the drug companies, but today I learned about one more that really has ... http://marthas-blog.com/ripoff/ Things that have fine print usually/may have stuff you need to know.  Most people don't read the fine print because it's too hard to read. Some manufacturers/programers hope you won't read the fine print. I suspect that's why it's written in fine print. Sometimes the print is so small you ... http://marthas-blog.com/read-the-fine-print/ As a general rule the assumption is that change is usually good. Notice I said 'assumption'. So far this year I have noticed a number of changes and most of them are not good. I guess the biggest change is known by the local news pundits as 'pain at the pump'. Since ... http://marthas-blog.com/change-is-comingbut-will-we-like-it/ I don't usually like commercials. I suspect most of the viewers of the boob tube feel the same way. However we have all come to realize that commercials are the price we pay for free viewing content. One of the biggest gripe about commercials is the fact they are so ... http://marthas-blog.com/but-wait/ Here's more proof I was born 40 years too soon! People under 30 don't just sleepwalk, they use their cell phones in their sleep. If you don't believe me just 'Google' sleep texting. That's something that I find hard to believe, but apparently it's true. The experts seem to think it's true. ... http://marthas-blog.com/is-your-cell-phone-attached-to-you/ Cell Phones More proof I was born 40 years too soon! People under 30 don't just sleepwalk, they use their cell phones in their sleep. If you don't believe me just 'Google' sleep texting. That's something that I find hard to believe, but apparently it's true. The experts seem to think it's ... http://marthas-blog.com/sleeping-while-texting/
