RANT: Never cut spending

Friday, February 9, 2007

Today’s news on 1015 quoted Corzine as considering 4 measure to “increase revenue to close the budget gap”. I translate that to mean “steal more money at gun point form the unsuspecting”. Notice how lowering spending is never an option. How about: (1) eliminating state pensions by creating 401ks; (2) eliminate spending by an across the board cut; (3) nuke all the earmarks and other pork; and (4) roll back the tax increase represented by the 1% sales tax. That’s without getting on the big ticket items: (1) the dole and (2) the gubamint reeducation camps!


PRODUCTIVITY: Use TINYURL in innovative ways

Friday, February 9, 2007

“seeing everything thru Joe and Harry’s window”

To which, I say YUDATL!

Now you say what the heck is YUDATL?

See I like tinyurl. Like many other url economizers, it takes long urls and smashes them down to size.

So

https://reinkefj.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/turkey-the-joseph-luft-and-harry-ingham-window-aka-the-johari-window/

has a length of 110 characters and resulted in the following TinyURL which has a length of 25 characters:

http://tinyurl.com/yudatl

Hence YUDATL.

I have a text file on my machine of tiny links. You’d be surprised at how useful this is.

So don’t give people long links. Or, when you give it over the phone, give the tiny link. It’s a lot less error prone.

You can also make a TinyUrl out of a mailto:crazyguy@theuniverse.org and that resultant short link will trigger an email.

Neat.
