Yesterday, I wrote a review of the single-brewer coffee machine. Got a few comments about these don’t compare to the old fashioned coffee makers. I agree. More at Old Coffee Makers Are Still Cool! Happy New Year!
Two people wrote to me and said they won’t give up their old-fashioned coffee maker for the pod-style ones just yet. Ah, I should’ve mentioned that the review wasn’t about replacing those, but a review of the single-brewers without comparing them to the good ol’ machines. Should’ve thought to mention that. I love my Braun FlavorSelect KF-187. [...]
I didn’t start drinking coffee until after I graduated from college. I never pulled in an all-nighter—geeky, I know. Now, I can’t start my morning without a good cup along with the newspaper. Between the single serve coffee brewers and the single-serving coffee can heats itself, coffee has been given a fresh look. I just got [...]
I’m a member of International Virtual Womens’ Chamber of Commerce and Kim Bloomer interviewed me. It was strange to be on the other side of the interview.
Last week, I reported that I had trouble accessing Marqui’s CMS help file because it keeps asking me to login. Er… I am logged in, CMS… as a guy named Dave, remember? Support has been corresponding with me on this. The first one indicated the browser may need refreshing and to: Confirm that you are using [...]
I’ve made minor changes to some of the pages (content and logo) to give it a lift. Sometime soon, I plan to move the navigation to the left side since most users expect to find it there. Navigation will be simplified as the site has two parts: meryl.net - the business and meryl.net - the [...]
Thanks to A. Non for letting me know the PDA Your Movable Type Blog entry needed updating. I just tested it and it still works. Thanks to AvantGo’s changes, there are fewer screens and steps. For WordPress users, there is WP Mobile Edition from the talented and prolific WP’er, Alex King (details also at WP Support). [...]
I’ve bent Excel over backwards doing things that it’s not meant to do. I believe I’m an average user, maybe a notch above. This means knowing some of the lesser known tricks, but not a pro at pivots or creating elaborate financial spreadsheets. I have used pivots, but nothing heavy-duty. This book is 820 pages, but [...]
I found a good deal on a Sidekick II so I can better keep in touch with folks while away from my PC. However, it came with an ugly case—looks like something my dad used in the ’60s with its thick clip on the back. The front is not bad, it’s the thick clip that’s [...]
Time for a visit Marqui’s CMS specifically the Console and Calendar Events tabs. I logged into the demo account as an administrator. It thinks I’m some guy named Dave, but I took care of that in the screen shot. Notice it has five tabs and five buttons in the Console tab. I start with Task [...]
