New Stuff

I’m up to my ears in actual, paying work, and since we’re quite near the end of the month, work actually pays off faster than procrastination does.
Two new things of interest - a service that’s still in beta testing but working great so far - PostTask.com. A rather fancy, ajaxified task list. One interesting thing about it is that it provides (based on your estimate of the length of each task) your finish time. If I don’t fool around, I can be done by 11:23pm.
The Next Right website has launched - go check it out! I haven’t had time to give it a thorough going-over but it looks very well done. Here’s hoping it’s going to be a conservative site, as opposed to a Republican echo chamber. Sadly, there’s a widening gap between those two groups. One nifty feature is that your profile has a list of posts you’ve commented on. I commented here about Jindal. Yes, I’m harping on him a bit - I’m sick to death of people saying how he’s a new conservative; the future of the Republican party, blah blah blah. While I thought all of that about him and more when he was in the House, as Governor he is letting us down. I keep hoping if enough negative buzz is generated on the specific things he’s doing wrong, he might smarten up. I’m certainly keeping up my end of our long correspondence - any time now I’m going to be getting a “rest assured” letter, I’m sure. As in “Please rest assured that I understand your concerns…” I used to only get those letters from Mary Landrieu’s office. Jindal’s office always sent the “Thanks so much for your enthusiastic support” letters. Another sign of the times…
Well, I had to add another task, plus PostTask tracks and updates the cumulative completion time for all tasks so I’m now up to 5:34am. In the immortal words of Mrs. Cosby, I’ve “fooled around long enough.”
