The big day

Everyone knows that 3 of the most stressful life events are getting a new job, having a baby and moving.  Being familiar with all three of these life-altering events, I would have to say that, by far, the most stressful of the three is definitely moving.  In the days before my daughter came along, I found myself without a stable living environment for quite some time, moving around like a vagabond.  Each time, it was so stressful and hard to deal with on any organized level.  I definitely could have used some professional help in that area.

Today I came across a site that has exactly what you need to make "the big day" go much more smoothly.

Of course, there are three main ways to move.  One can do-it-yourself move, by hiring a van and doing all the gruntwork on one's own.  For a less involved amount of belongings, this is a good, inexpensive way to relocate.  If, however, moving heavy furniture is not an option, one can always hire a man and van combo.  Of course, this service is exactly what it says: a man, with a van.  There are some quiestions you should be prepared to ask, such as how big the van is and is the man capable of lifting your heaviest furniture.  There are even free removal quotes available online for the man and van service.  In order to get one the correct  quote, there are a few simple questions to fill out, and one can receive a quote in no time.

If one finds him or herself in need of a more comprehensive moving situation, there are many removal companies that will assist one on the big day.  There are several services that a professional moving company can handle for the overwhelmed mover, such as packing, specific moving requirements for specialty items, licensed and insured workers and more. Again, there are free online removal quotes and the simple questionaire to assist one in getting the correct quote for his/her needs.

There are also tools available for a person getting ready to relocate, such as a move planner, which is a calendar application that one can personalize to show the tasks to be completed and the deadlines for them.  Another great tool is the moving checklist. which starts from 6-8 weeks prior to the Big Day and continues through Moving Day and the first day in your new home.

Writer's Block and a Deadline

Everyone has something they are good at; I'm a writer.  I have been hired as a freelance writer on multiple occasions, to the benefit of both parties.  I have written many different types of custom writing for various clients, depending on their needs and my knowledge of the subject they need written about.  Sometimes, though, after a long while of not doing much on the writing front, my skills can get somewhat rusty.  Enter every writers nightmare: writer's block.  Sometimes inspiration can be difficult to come by so it's necessary to have several sources at hand to give a boost when needed.  If ever I get stuck on a particularly technical piece or with a subject I know little about, I can always get a professional to write my essay .  I can always turn to writers with advanced postgraduate degrees and professional business experience to help me get a paper that I can use as a source for my work.  It's nice to know that I don't have to worry about anyone else havi

Yandex Web Browser

On my Windows 7 computer, the one I work from, I need a good, fast reliable browser as part of my workflow.  I recently got rid of one that I really loved for a while, called Torch Browser .  Torch has a lot of great extras, such as music and video players, torrent downloader, facelift for facebook; basically it's great for play.  Don't get me wrong, it was great but my focus on this computer is productivity and I need a web browser to match.  I like using Chrome based browsers as well as Firefox, but I hate having Google involved in everything (like this blog *grumble*) so I go for alternative browsers based on Chrome, minus the Google.  (Sorry, Google dear, but you brought this on yourself)  I was a rabid fan of Opera prior to what I like to call the Operocalypse, where Opera gave up everything that made it stand out from the rest (and made it the best) to yet another Chrome clone.  I have it, out of habit, but only use it on my most secure sites; it sits idle 90% of the time

For anyone getting login errors recently (Linux)

For those random people having random issues with logins lately..it may not be your Linux distro.  Apparently a nasty bug has creeped into ext4, which is causing all kinds of mayhem.  Make sure when installing a new distro, you mount your /home directory as something besides ext4 in order to keep your data safe.  See this link , scroll down to the Section entitled Tips and Tricks (by Robert Storey) to see more of what's going on, in case you are affected.  Not a lot of people are at this point, supposedly just randomly.  The chief maintainer of ext4 is working on a solution now.
