TECHNOLOGY: 7ZIP choice isn’t there
Friday, January 19, 2007PCMechanic tip:
Since most files compress very well and, in turn, are faster to transfer, zipping them up makes sense. The excellent open source program 7-Zip addresses both of the issues above. When 7-Zip is installed with its context menus, you can right click on a file and inside the 7-Zip menu select Compress and Email. The result is an empty mail message with your attachment zipped up. There is no garbage subject line or text, so just fill out your email like normal.
But, I don’t see that choice!?!

TECHNOLOGY: FEEDBLITZ has its uses
Wednesday, January 17, 2007A fellow blogger was surprised when his blog wasn’t updated as he thought it was. Feedblitz sent me his summary and when I clicked to read it, there was nada there. I pinged him and he was surprised. I explained to him how I use feedblitz to (1) confirm that I posted stuff and (2) as a back up and recovery mechanism, in that all blog posts are echoed in my email. Weather he adopts the strategy , or “outsources” checking up on him to me, who knows?

XPfails – luggable – Reinstall, reboot, try again and again
Tuesday, January 16, 2007I guess the XP gnome — annoying creature that it is — decided that if I was really going to keep rebooting until I got wireless connectivity back to my home network, then it’d eventually relent and give it back. Argh!
