Mrs. Rabbitt’s Bookbag
October 30th, 2003 |This is not the title of a creative Halloween costume. It’s a blog for children’s librarians, but as a fan of children’s literature I love the nuggets in the blog. Mrs. Rabbitt must’ve been destined to be a librarian as that is really her name. The blog has quotes from books, links, author news, and [...]

Clipart and Other Spooky Things
October 30th, 2003 |Tomorrow is Halloween in the US and Dia de Los Muertos in Mexico. Happy October 31st should cover everyone. For those who see it as pumpkins, witches, and ghosts, there’s plenty of Halloween clipart for the taking. Download Jack-O-Lantern stencils from Carving Pumpkins and Attack of the Zombie Pumpkins.

McAfee Continues to Falter
October 28th, 2003 |Unbelievable. I want to make one thing clear before providing an update on my McAfee adventures. I didn’t buy McAfee v8.0 because of the rebate. McAfee came with my computer (and it took many calls to Dell’s tech support and McAfee’s to get it working as they pointed fingers at each other.) and I just [...]

Web Design on a $hoestring
October 24th, 2003 |While growing up, I have never paid (OK, I admit it’s my mom who does the buying - thanks, Mom.) more than $40 for tennis shoes. That’s almost an impossible thing to do today. Furthermore, the many brands, features, and styles available make the decision-making process harder. Apply that to the more technical subject of [...]

RoboMacro or MacRobo
October 23rd, 2003 |eHelp Corporation, the makers of RoboHelp and other Robo products has joined the Macromedia family.

Scrolling
October 21st, 2003 |Scroll. Don’t scroll. Stop that. I use the wheel on the top of my mouse all the time to scroll down Web pages just like Grok explains in his latest missive. I’ve make the same mistake described in the article. Though, I know it is my mistake, sites can take a few steps to prepare [...]

October 20th, 2003 |Project Management should be known as Project Disorganization. How often has a process completed on time, on budget, and with quality? Anyone who has seen a project do all three, send me an email. I want to hear about it. Digital Web led the way to the Project Management Process by Phil Wolff. He divided the [...]

McAfee Rebates
October 19th, 2003 |McAfee’s rebate company is not honoring its rebates. It claims I didn’t enclose one item in the rebate mail and I verified with the checklist and fine print that I did submit all that was asked. I have copies of them, yet they’re telling me to resubmit it. This is the second time I’ve ran [...]
