| Word to Blogger do you copy? |
Sooo… I’m typing this in MS Word Beta 7. Checking out the Word to Blogger Add-In from Microsoft and Google…. Odd combination there. Anyhow looks like a good idea to me. I love the spell-check as you go of word. I know blogger has a spellchecker but I like this! It's so easy too. Just go to Publisher and Blogging to set up your information and then you publish it.

| A whole bunch of Google |
| If you've been using Google Calendar at all you may have become like me and it's now the only thing you use. I love it. I like how you can create different tags color coded as separate calendars that you can turn off and on at a click. An agenda is created for each week from google calendar and you can have it appear on your gmail. A greasemonkey script was created that achieves just that. Techlifeblogged.com has a great article with pictures that show you exactly how to set it up. Check it out. I'm sure soon Google will have them inter-connected in some way more than just a link to bring it up in the future. |

| Budgeting |
I found this cool new Excel spreadsheet that is setup to make creating and keeping your finances together very easy. I just started it a few days ago. I'm now getting paid monthly which is new for me and not the easiest when needing to pay bills and such. I really like the way Pear Budget works. It does all the calculations for you. You just enter in your constant, variable and invariable expenses and it does the rest.
I'm horrible at staying on a budget or recording any of my expenses. I know its important and I should keep it up but.... Here goes another try. I'll let you know if I'm still keeping it up. |

| Two Weeks Later |
Found a place to live, craigslist didn't help all that much. No one responded back to my inqueries. Sooo I found the only place I could that had a month to month lease... without seeing pictures. It's ok. You can tell the place is from the '70s and of course the day I need it my AC is broken. Already in the 90s, not at all normal and not comfortable with no AC.
Anyway. The job is pretty cool. I'm doing software design. It's weird sitting in a cubicle. I'm used to wandering around the company not sitting in the same place for 9 hrs. I'm in a cubical at the end of a row and I have a floor to ceiling window behind me. When I get bored I can just watch outside and see the downtown.
The usual headaches with designing software for someone. They don't know what they really want, keep trying to add stuff and really can't tell you if what you think is going on what they think is going on. Very confusing but a really good learning experience.
It's so nice being out of [University town]. [Working town] is sooo much bigger, like 8 times larger. (I'm either in a really large place (but I'm not) or where I was was not large at all.)
Granted this is my first weekend actually here so, ummm I'm watching tv and baking in my appartment. I kinda want some pudding. Maybe I'll head to target. Make it out of the appartment at least once for the day and the trash needs taken out.
Three day weekend here I come!!!!!! |
