I was tasked with exporting report to Microsoft Excel files. There are a number of ways to do this. One of the easiest I have found it to create a tab delimited file and give it an .xls extension. You can also create a table using html and give it an .xls extension for similar […]

So I just upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007. I saw this feature to publish a document to a blog. You know me, I just had to try…

I always thought it would be nice to sync Outlook with the Google Calendar. I found out today that it is now possible thanks to OGG Sync.
Check it out and give it a try. There is not very much documentation, but be sure to read what documentation they do have on installing it so you […]

I finally finished reading Getting Things Done. Well, to be honest I can’t say I finished “reading” it. I read about 2/3 of the book then listened to the rest of it on an audio book
I would give the book 4 out of 5 stars. It seems to be written mainly for business […]

Have you ever run across and old friend and tried to exchange contact information in a busy location - or with your kids pulling on your legs […]

I’m glad to see more auto classifieds sites popping up - especially free ones. I remember back in the day shelling out $40 for a basic crappy listing at autotrader.com. Things continue to improve. I liked uCoast.com for a while, but I think they died a slow death.
I will only buy Used Cars. New cars […]

I thought I would take some time to educate my fellow Americans about the naartjie. Why? Because I’m a nerd and a dork and that is what I do best.
I served a mission in South Africa from 1996-1998. There they had these little oranges that were so much easier to peel - which made them […]
