It seems as though fall has arrived. One day it’s 75 and sunny and the next the wind is blowing, leaves are dropping and the temperature plummets. I love that chill in the air – fall is without question my favorite time of year.

Was up until two in the morning last night connecting a new wireless router so both of our home computers have internet access. I work on portrait orders at a computer in the basement but this machine was never connected to the internet. I’d have to finish an order, save to a jump drive and then take it upstairs and upload to the lab from that machine. Not a huge hassle but often times Kate and I were “fighting” for computer time. This will be much easier.

Watched an on-line video yesterday and the speaker recommended “iGoogle”. I’m sure everyone but me has heard of it but if you haven’t I highly recommend it. It allows you to have all of your favorite “spots” on one page plus there is a plethora of nifty gadgets you can add to your page. Doppler Radar, your Facebook wall, Twitter, inspirational quotes; the list is endless.

Now if I could just figure out RSS feeds!!!;-(

  1. RSS feeds are easy. Now that you have iGoogle, just install the Google Reader widget. http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=gadgets&url=www.google.com/ig/modules/reader.xml Add the links to the feeds of sites you like, and the updates will start showing up on iGoogle.
