Moved YAG to “my” WSP. In doing that, my “pretty” site was reduced to content. Argh! I think that was Front page based. Argh!

Well, it is handy. Not cheap. $180 per year. And it does apparently work flawlessly. My biggest problem is that WXP decides randomly that it doesn’t want to communicate with the outside world any more. Sometimes nothing but a reboot will make it start again. That’s not gotomypc’s fault. But, when I want it to do it’s magic and it don’t, guess who gets the blame. Not Microsoft for it’s hunk of junk. Will I lose this capability when I move my “shop” to Linux?

LIBERTY: The gooferment tries another “golden” dollar. Whatta joke!!
Tuesday, February 13, 2007http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/
The Presidential $1 Coin Program
***Begin Quote***
The United States is honoring our Nation’s presidents by issuing $1 circulating coins featuring their images in the order that they served, beginning with Presidents Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison in 2007. The United States Mint will mint and issue four Presidential $1 Coins per year, and each will have a reverse design featuring a striking rendition of the Statue of Liberty. These coins will feature larger, more dramatic artwork, as well as edge-incused inscriptions of the year of minting or issuance, “E Pluribus Unum,” “In God We Trust” and the mint mark. Although the size, weight and metal composition of the new Presidential $1 Coin will be identical to that of the Sacagawea Golden Dollar, there are several unique features that make this coin distinctive.

What a joke!
Their “gold” coins are a fraud.
Give us real ones.

MONEY: Who pays what taxes?

When You Tax Profits, You Tax People
The economics behind Hillary Clinton’s anti-business Chavezian threat.
By Larry Kudlow
***Begin Quote***
Washington economist Kevin Hassett has shown that the U.S. workforce bears a full 70 percent of the cost of corporate taxes. So, if folks are indeed worried about wage inequality, they should be lobbying their congressional representatives to cut corporate taxes in order to increase worker wages.
***End Quote***
Only “real” people pay taxes.
Anyone, who knows anything about business, knows that they are just conduits of costs. If I make widgets that you buy, you can rest assure that, if I am in an ongoing business, every cost associated with that widget is built into the price you are paying. If there’s an income tax, sales tax, use tax, gas tax, or a tax specifically on widgets, it’s all added into the price.
That’s what makes determining the total tax load so difficult. My widget, Hershey’s candy bar, and Mom’s apple pie from Drake’s all have taxes built into the price. You buy a my widget for a buck. How much tax did you just pay? No one knows and the thieves in Washington, Trenton, and city hall like that just fine.
That’s why taxes like the gas taxes are so insidious. They’re build into every single thing you buy. You couldn’t break that out if you wanted to.
That’s why the cost of regulations are also insidious. They can’t be broken out either. If I can only assemble my widget in Borneo because of environmental regulations, it has to be shipped to you. Now, figure out the cost of that “regulatory” tax. Good luck!
Sigh.
Then don’t forget that there is an “inflation tax”. Regardless if you think inflation is 2% or 15%, or somewhere in between (as I peg it now at about 7% based on 200 basis points over the Certificate of Depreciation rate I can get), that to is an insidious silent tax. So how much of that is in your products that you buy?
No the dead old white guys were quite right in insisting that taxes be on imports only. It’s really easy to see that. Everything else gets buried.
And, it’s not like they do anything useful with the proceeds of their theft.

XPfails – luggable – Looks like Plaxo?
Monday, February 12, 2007It appears that Plaxo went awol. The first indication of trouble was when a editpro project wouldn’t open. From that point, every think went down hill from there. Reboot. And try again?

LINKEDIN: Never use your employer’s email on LinkedIn or any site like it
Sunday, February 11, 2007Seems like an obvious “tip” to me.
Lose your job? You lose a lot of things. Not the least of which is your paycheck, “your” email address, and access to it.
You add to the disaster when you use the employer’s email address to register for sites.
Stay in control, use your “personal” email address for anything that isn’t strictly related to your employment.
I personally recommend you establish your own “stuff”.
Go register your “name” as a web site. Most commercial grade web site providers throw in a slew of email addresses with most packages.
I chuckle when I see a 6 figure executive using his employer’s email address on a networking, job, or resume site; that makes him “clueless” imho.
Or even worse is some lame internet service provider’s address like AOL for email or a free kid’s site for webpages.
But, the truly worst is when they use a “lame” email name. In the last year, I’ve seen: “bigexec@”, “expertmgmt@”, and even “irishstud@” … on resumes. (I busted a gut getting out a “helpful suggestion” email.)
At least, GOOGLE GMAIL for email or GPAGES for web sites makes you look avante garde.
“My” WSP offers a “beginner” package for $36/year that includes: 1 FREE domain name; 10 GB web space; 300 GB traffic; 600 e-mail accounts; and bunch of other stuff. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 I’m sure that all the comparable professional sites offer similar. (I laugh at consumer sites that charge lot’s more for lot’s less!)
They now all have “fill out a form” interfaces to do what used to be complicated stuff! Build a web page, you worry about content, not html. Forward your special personal email address (i.e., corporate drone @ my first mi last name dot com) to my business one (i.e., corporate drone @ corporate dot com) by a different form. Use your “seeking address” (i.e., corporate drone seeks new hive @ my first mi last name dot com) for your networking activities.
So, it’s control. You control “your” email.
Note, while you can check your email via the web interface from your workplace, if you really need to, I don’t recommended is. Don’t mix business with “pleasure”. At least, not without encryption. Your employer has the “right” to look at everything on their stuff, and many do. Some archive as search everything. Reprisals are commonplace. It’s a snooper’s paradise. Don’t be a victim.
Yell if you need help!
