10.19.98 - GnomeNEWS

WARNING: Today's News rates a 2.4 out of 10 on the CPIE scale.

I should probably tell you (first off) that when I say "CPIE Scale" that stands for Chris Pirillo's Inflatable Ego--which means the News content will contain something about my personal life. It's interesting to me, and I usually write what comes to mind. Just so you know, I don't let things go to my head... well, not all the time.

I wanted to put in my two cents about these "so called" smart cards. I'm scared of them. My dad is, too. He doesn't even like using direct deposit at his bank. Yes, credit cards are an (almost) unfortunate part of our lives. If we don't keep track of how much we have, how much we can spend, and where we spend it, we could be paupers in no time at all.

I went into a store the other day and tried to use my bank card... it didn't work. I don't know why, it had worked just a few moments before? If I had cash, there wouldn't have been a problem. But because I put my faith in that card, I couldn't get what I needed without heading over to a Money god (ATM). Imagine if my entire life's savings was on one card... and it didn't work. Talk about a sticky situation. I don't know if I trust this technology quite yet (and I know that's odd hearing me say that). It has nothing to do with Biblical predictions, either--my fears are from personal experience.

GnomePROGRAM

1Jump Navigator v2.0 [929k] W9x/NT4 FREE

When the web first started, there were a lot of tildes and subdirectories that were virtually impossible to remember. Now that everyone and their dog has a website, it's virtually impossible to find a specific company without going through 5 different search engines. The best way (that I've found) to locate a specific kind of company is with 1Jump. Download this killer 32-bit app to have it readily available on your Desktop. Enter the company name, brand, ticker symbol, or a nickname that you define... and 1jump will (hopefully) find it for you. If that doesn't impress you, then at least download it for the NIFTY Lockergnome menu included in the program (for easy navigation of Lockergnome's site).

Works for Windows v4.x Y2k Patch [3.0M] W9x/NT4

"If you want to work with dates in the year 2000 or later and have not installed the Works for Windows Year 2000 Patch, you must type a four-digit year value in cells. For example, if you want to type the date September 25, 2000, you need to type '9/25/2000.' The Works for Windows Year 2000 Patch simplifies this procedure. After you install the patch, you can enter the same date by typing '9/25/00.' NOTE: There is no Year 2000 update available for Works for Windows versions 2.x and 3.x."

Chris Pirillo's Bachelor Daily Defrag [128k] W9x/NT4 FREE

Some of you missed the Daily Defrag for October 2nd (and for the actual weekend that I got married). If you haven't even listened to the Daily Defrag yet, what are you waiting for? You never know what I'm going to do or say, as was the case for this particular day. I'm not going to ruin the fun by telling you what happened in this one minute of audio, but I'll tell you that I got SEVERAL requests to make this file available for everyone to download. If you want to save it (which I suggest doing), be sure to do download it via a web page (if need be). It's worth it!

Freedback.com

I thrive on your feedback. As an editor/writer, I have no choice but to listen. How else can I keep this a well-oiled publication? Wow, that would be a perfect pun if this was an auto newsletter or computers needed oil. Moving along... if you own a site, you need feedback, too. If you're not sure how to install a "feedback form"--here's the best (and just about easiest) way I've found to do that without any sort of programming involved. The only thing you need to understand is HTML, and you're in business. Let this site help you construct a form to keep your web pages in business!

THEME: Disco [3.1M]

He's a maniac, maniac on the floor... and he's computin' like he's never done before. Awwwww, yeah. If I had a scanner, I'd be able to show you this REALLY BAD picture of myself at a '70s Theme party. I wore this long-sleeve, maroon, paisley shirt, poofed my already afro-like hair out a few inches, wore some dark sunglasses, and strutted my stuff all over the dance floor. Well, you can tell by the way I walk, I'm a Windows man, no time to balk. Ah, ah, ah, ah... I need a life, I need a life.

GnomeTIP

Thank you for putting up with all those "similar" tips over the last couple of weeks. I had to write those issues around the time that I was getting married (you can imagine the stress I was under). So, don't think I was ignoring any specific "OS" population when I wrote about them. Coming up with GOOD tips is very difficult to do (sorry those folder ones didn't work for everyone). Like, how many of you knew that a calendar was built into Windows? Sure! Just double click on the clock in your System Tray! You can flip through the dates, but if you don't want to change anything, be sure to hit the CANCEL button when you're finished.
