This Is Your Backup on Drugs

Posted on Posted in Industry, Internet, UncategorizedLeave a comment

I just got the strangest newsletter from Mozy. The guy that runs the company seemed to be a tad bit off in this very “professional” blurb:

One of the nice things about being an ugly American is that I make all sorts of ignorant and culturally insensitive remarks about other countries. And as luck would have it, I had that opportunity last week when I visited Montreal. (That’s in Canada.)
The first thing I noticed about Montreal is that it’s a very clean city – like Toronto in that respect. Oh wait – actually, the first thing I noticed was the streets were on fire and full of police and rioting citizens because I guess they won an O-KAY (that’s hockey) game. My flight got in late that night and the taxi driver had to change his routes because the streets were blocked off by police.
Other observations I had were related to confusing things like French-speaking people with the Queen of England on their money and the lack of $1 bills in their currency. Also, the whole “Canadians burned the White House down in 1814? makes me sad inside, but I guess that was a long time ago.
Be Safe,

Google Docs Adds Blog Publishing

Posted on Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

Here’s a little something that seems to have snuck into Google Docs – publishing to a Blog! Create a document in Google Docs (like this one right here), click on the “Publish” tab on the top right corner, and on the bottom, you should see a “Post to Blog” button. You might have to enter your blog settings, but this is quick and easy. Within seconds, you should have a new entry on your blog!
So if you like to take your time and write drafts of blog posts, or just have the formatting/spellchecking/etc tools that are available in a word processor, this might be a great new way for you to post to your blog.
