Last night late, while clearing immigration into Canada in Halifax, I saw this really interesting sign. I asked if I could take a picture, they said yes, so here it is.
The title reads
It’s True.
English Isn’t My First Language.
That would be
JAVA or C++
My last post on Using Excel to Create HTML, I discussed using Excel to automatically create HTML for a friend Cinda.
I use a PC (actually a network of PC’s, I use more than one computer) running Windows XP.
Cinda uses a Mac.
My good friend Cinda Baxter wrote a blog post that turned into a movement: The 3 / 50 Project. 
I spent last week in western Nebraska.
Little did I know I was going to be in a dead zone.
I now appreciate the Verizon ad’s like this one:
I have 13,102 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, text, etc files at the time I’m writing this.
Fortunately I have a system for keeping them organized.
I know people who would have them all in their My Documents folder, or worse on their Desktop. Imagine scrolling through 10,000+ files in a file open dialog!
I recently got the following email (details removed)
Dear Gregg Marshall,

I came back from CTIA last night. Getting home about 9:30 pm, I started my usual routine of using Microsoft SyncToy to move any changed files, especially my Outlook PST file, back to my desktop from my netbook.
Except my Acer Aspire One won’t boot. So I pull the battery, disconnect the charger and wait, figuring that will reset the computer. Plug it all back in, nothing. I left it charging all night. Nothing this morning. Do the battery thing, nothing.
I just looked and its been about 2 months since my last post. I apologize to the 6 (probably family) people subscribed to this blog via the RSS feed.
Suffering from email overload? Join the club.
One issue I’ve noticed helping several people is they have hundreds, in some cases thousands, of emails in their inbox. And a lot of those emails are marked unread.
I don’t know how people can operate in that environment. Your goal should be an empty inbox.
Why can’t the engineers of the world figure out a standard set of power adapters and plugs? Every electronic device has its own AC adapter with a different plug and voltage. It’s stupid.
