General, Random / February 16th, 2009 / 4 Comments »

So last week, I took the plunge…a long awaited plunge…into finally buying a nice computer monitor. I have done this before and it has not turned out well. My wife has seen me purchased a couple monitors, only to return them. With her financially blessing, she gave me the green light this third time in which I purchased a 2005 24 inch 2405FPW Dell Ultrasharp Monitor. I snagged it for $300 off ebay.

Fear not, WP auto corrects this issue.

37 Signals products are no longer free: Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, and Campfire

Awful, General, Random / February 3rd, 2009 / 8 Comments »

I admit when it comes to 37 Signals products, I have not been kept up to date. I used to use Basecamp and Backpack fairly religiously over a year ago, but haven’t used them since because of daily distractions, forgetfulness, life, etc. However, I was still shocked to see they no longer offer a free version of any of their products. Yes, they offer a 30 day free trial, but I am referring to an actual free account for those needing basis needs. When did this happen?

I hate spam. Who likes spam? Nobody. So I will be one of the first on board for one doing whatever they can to stop spam in its tracks. So we have captchas…and their evil character twisting ways.
