Odds and Ends

It has been awhile since I have posted. Caught a bit of the flu about 2 weeks ago and I am still recovering.

First things first. Check out this auction going on at eBay right now for a Zombie Survival kit. A friend sent this to me a couple of days ago, the kit is now selling for $280. I soo wish I had this in my office, but at $280 it is a bit steep. But can you really place a price on protection from Zombies?

Also, congratulations to Gabe on winning the first Articulate Miles Challenge. Gabe ran over 95 miles during the 30 days of the challenge. We had some late comers to the contest who ended up doing rather well (Magnus and Robert).

We also just yesterday started the second Articulate Miles Challenge and now feature 5 Articulate employees in the challenge. See how everyone is doing below. Good luck everyone.

How many sales does this cost them?


Today I went to purchase a tool called HTTP Analyzer from IE Inspector. It is a really great tool for looking behind the scenes when content is loading from a website.
Problem is that when I went to purchase the tool I was asked for the billing address of the credit card I was using. My corporate card is billed to New York. Check out the list of states I was presented with on the left. How easily can you find New York?
I wonder how many sales this costs them?

Arggh I accidentally clicked on a link to a PDF document

Isn't it annoying when you accidentally click on a link to a PDF document? Then your system stalls for about 20 seconds as it tries to open Acrobat Reader?

I sure hope Adobe doesn't do to the Flash Player what it did to Acrobat Reader.

How bad would it suck if it took as long to open a piece of Flash content as it does to open a piece of PDF content?
