Cat problem

Anyone got some cheap and effective suggestions to discourage cats from spraying and tearing up my porch? There are about 5 cats running my neighbor hood tearing up things. Part that makes me most angry about it is most of them have collars. Also they keep me up at night. I heard of sprays and stuff but I really don’t have money to waste.

Keeping Your Computers In Sync

There are several pieces of good software to keep your computer in sync.

1. GoodSync - is my favorite syncing tool and they offer a free version which is what I use to keep my documents the same on all my computers.

2. SyncToy - is a free sync tool offered by Microsoft. I suggest the beta 2.0 version.

3. Allway Sync – offers a free limited verison but does a excellent job of syncing.

Know a good syncing tool?

Google pushes for "white space" frequencies

Google is pressing the US government to allow the unlicensed frequencies of TV “white space” to be used for wi-fi.


For those that don’t know the white space is a buffer zone so that things signals aren’t interfering with other products such as television programming, but with the move to digital that isn’t as relevant. Google point as long as devices are approved and tested not to interfere than there is no reason this space should not be used.

I agree with google there is no reason to let a valuable frequencies sit unused for no good reason.

2 Great time saving software

Here is 2 very handy software to save you time throughout the day. All of which are for windows.

Texter - which allows you to use a hostring that when activated replaces it with a predefined text. This can save you with emails and signatures or if you often find yourself answering the same questions over and over.

launchy - which is very similar to quicksilver on mac, basicly allows you to quickly launch a application without having to find it in the start menu with a few keystrokes. It even becomes faster the more you use.

Problems

I doubt I will be updating this much as I am looking at losing everything. Through some bad decisions and damn credit cards, and a serious decrease in income I am looking at losing my home. I have a job which pays alright but my investments went though the crapper.
