I've learned that the more keyboard commands I learn, the less my hand is on a mouse the better my hand/wrist feels.

Tried to promote your comment, but couldn't, so I'll just say: +1

There's a difference between sites that we read for enjoyment or edutainment (Lifehacker), and sites that hold our documents or crucial services. That's why I prefer to read Lifehacker online, but keep my documents and crucial services out of the Cloud and on my own computer and network.

Hey, don't diss my pressure cooker - I use it 3x a week no matter the weather! ;-)

I'm also with bluehost for hosting. I may move my domains there as well.

LOL!

I am a soapmaker, and have been making soap for nearly 10 years. Making soap is an art. Basic soap can be made without huge expense. The most expensive ingredients are often the scents.

I like the idea of carrying blank business cards, but for notes for myself. They're nice, neat and more professional looking than a scrap of paper pulled out looking ragged. "Here's my card. . .and what was that small detail you just said? Let me write it down on this really nice rectangular card (that looks like I…

Exactly. My first reaction to this was "I hate oatmeal!" I think there are other, better solutions, such as perhaps a 7 grain cereal cooked in a thermos (or slow cooker) overnight. It's every bit as easy as the above recipe will be hot, ready, and not oatmeal. ;-)

This article about "digital hording" is really an ad for Microsoft as they promote Hotmail's clutter-busting tools .

This whole question is one of the reasons why I prefer to rely on my own desktop and my own apps and my own backups, etc. They're mine. I do have a gmail account, a web host and am on facebook, but anything of any real importance gets done on software and hardware that I can better control.

I have 3 in regular use, um, more that I use less frequently. I just had an ewaste business haul away probably 10 old computers (PI/PII) and 6 crt monitors. I think it's perfectly normal for someone in IT to have multiple computers. I use my computer bone yard to learn new things (like Linux!) and to try out things I…

I agree. I keep a couple of Xacto knives for this purpose, and a small retractable knife on my keychain for "out in the field".

Only problem would be if you had something you wanted to microwave.

To me, if you really want real homecooked food, rather than try to camp cook in an office, the best idea is to get a really good set of lunch totes, such as Lunch Bots or other "bento" equipment, and pack a lunch. You're not limited to a "spiderman" lunch box look, there are some real neat corporate-looking lunch box…

Please put a big sign you can see every morning before you start typing Linux articles: "The CLI is not for new users."

Businesses are required to put you in their Do Not Call list database and not call you for 10 years upon your request. Sometimes, the moment they know you are going to open your mouth and ask to be put on their Do Not Call list, they'll hang up so they can ostensibly say, "Hey, they never asked!"
