Facebook Search for Old Posts
Posted 8:22 AM

I made a feature for Facebook that allows you to archive and search all the old posts that were in your news feed without having to scroll to the bottom and click "view older posts" over and over until you're eyes are blurry.

(I use it to play a couple of the games where I've hidden them from my regular feed because they are annoying but I look them up while I play.)

Feature I Want in GMail/Tasks
Posted 9:09 AM

I want Google to add "shared tasks". So, I can add a "Family" shared task, and that means that the task can be seen by Yvette and I both (or anyone who is subscribed to that shared task label). She can do the same (since I set her as an owner/admin).

Any editor can mark a task as "done", or update it.

Also I can create a filter than anything that comes to support@mycompany.com gets marked as a "Support Task", which then any support person can see/edit. Same with sales@mycompany.com, etc.

The nice thing about shared tasks is that when someone else reads it or acts on it, it saves that info, so you can see what happened to all the tasks.

ASAP. Thanks.

Dow is Up, Profits are Up
Posted 4:38 AM

Small businesses employ more than half of the workforce, and generate more than half the GDP. They do this without substantial tax breaks and government payoffs while competing successfully with the giant corporations that do. And yet... as our government continues to pour money in to big business....



Maybe it's time for a few small business tax incentives this year...if only to be fair.

How Much Is A 3-letter Domain Worth?
Posted 8:40 AM

While testing my nifty interactive name-suggestion tool, I decided to quickly scan all the 3 letter tld's.

Obviously they are all taken, but "cqc.com" is "pending deletion". That means it'll be up for grabs soon. So I jumped over to NameJet, just to see what the current backorder auction price was. The current sticker price for "cqc.com" is $10,000 ... and rising.

Whoever owns it really ought to wake up and smell the money. Letting a $10,000 name expire should be grounds for a Darwin award.

Windows Tea Timer
Posted 6:39 AM

Just put in the minutes and "start".

Great little alarm clock, countdown timer, etc. Reminds me to do stuff, like "leave work" or "mail bill". Can run a program, play a sound or pop-up, holds multiple possible repeating schedules, presets, sits in the task bar... basically everything you could possibly need in a desktop timer without being confusing.

Also, it's free and open source. (After downloading it for the 3rd time, I decided to donate $5).
