My New Job

This guest post from Hong Alexander

Nobody would have guessed a few years back I’d be running my very own bed and breakfast. I was all about the big business world and it was tough for even me to imagine me doing anything but climbing the corporate ladder. I can only imagine what my family thought when I first told them I was going to do this! Anyway, here I am looking into Texas Electricity Providers and satin bedding and you know my life is totally changed for the different. I love that each and every day I get to interact with new customers and that I can make my own decisions about how the business is run. There’s something to be said for having your own business and being able to be flexible and you know, I can’t think of anything else I’d rather be doing. I mean, I love that I made such a big decision for my life and I’m thankful I’ve had so much support to get me where I am today.

Photobucket Sucks

This is going to be a 'Douche of the Day' award post that I usually do on my Wordpress blog .

Then, however, Photobucket decided to do something I consider to be truly despicable. They made it to where you CANNOT download your photo albums (for backup or for account changes).  They actually REMOVED the download album links.  Why is that p...

Favorite File Manager for Windows 7

Most people that use Windows tend to just use Windows Explorer as their file manager. A vast number of people likely don't even realize that there are other options.  Windows Explorer is painfully limited in features, especially lacking the tabs that 95% of file managers utilize.  In my line of work, I have to compare, browse, edit, move, delete and rename vast numbers of files.  Windows Explorer just can't handle the task. I ended up using FreeCommander file manager, which had all the features I was looking for with extensive customization options for the user interface and a built in viewer that could be used inside the window I was working on.  That was actually the most difficult feature to find as I discovered later. After a while though, I became very frustrated with FreeCommander's 32 bit free version.  It became slow and often froze.  So I decided to comparison shop, so to speak.  My requirements were few but necessary: I had to be able to c...
