The FCC has extended the 'Do-Not-Call' Registry so that numbers will not be automatically be removed. When it was first set up in 2003, numbers were to be removed after 5 years. I, personally, have had the experience of numbers being removed after a couple of years, so I still recommend checking from time to time to be sure your numbers are still on there. [more]

I ran across a cool add-on to IE 7 called IE7Pro. I use a lot of extensions to Firefox, but this add-on to IE has a lot of helpful features rolled into one install. Here is a list of some of its features:
[more]The inline search adds a search bar like found in Firefox that finds as you type. You use the F3 and Enter key to cycle to the next result and you can highlight all the results on the page see them all at once. If you'd rather search the web instead of the current page, you have the option to highlight the word or phrase, right-click it, and choose the Search With menu item. The Search With function will display the search results for the term in a new tab using Google, Yahoo!, Live Search, or another search engine of your choice.
The Refresh Current Tab feature is a cool way to ensure your always looking at current information on website that don't automatically refresh on their own. This is great for situations where you want to keep a news site or a web based monitoring utility up all day long and view the latest information without having to refresh the page everytime you look at it.
My favorite feature is the webpage capturer. This feature enables you to easily save a page to an image file. No more Ctrl+Print Screen and pasting into MS Paint or Word. Now you can save screenshots directly from the browser into a JPG, BMP, GIF, PNG, or TIFF. This is a real time saver.
Access keys provide a way to quickly use a command by pressing a few keys, no matter where you are in the program. Every command in Office Word 2007 can be accessed by using an access key. You can get to most commands by using two to five keystrokes. To discover and use an access key: [more]
I have developed a new extension for the BlogEngine.NET platform. It's basically an enhanced version of the BreakPost extension. It works the same as BreakPost in that you insert "[more]" in the post body where you would like it to break and display a link to the full post. However, I added a couple new features.
PostTeaser differs from the BreakPost extension in that it ensures all tags opened before the [more] are closed, so that the post body is still valid XHTML even after it is truncated. I was having problems with BreakPost not closing my paragraph tags and throwing off my layout, because it was doing a simple substring.
I also made PostTeaser display the post teasers in the RSS feed the same way that it does for the post list on the default page.

I have a two computers on my desk that I use regularly. My desktop, which is my main computer, and a laptop. Whenever I'm doing work on both, burning CDs, downloading updates, etc., I find it a pain to switch between a mouse and a full-size keyboard to a trackpad and mini-keyboard.
Thankfully, there is a program that solved my dilemma. The solution I found is an open source project named Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/). It even lets you share between computers with different operating systems, so you could share the same mouse and keyboard between computers running Windows, Linux, and a Mac. [more]
From the Synergy website:
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all.

The Out of Office Assistant in Outlook 2007 is a bit more helpful in letting people inside the company know where you are. Microsoft has included a “Inside My Organization” and “Outside My Organization” message area. For example, if I were to set an Out of Office message for both internal and external, it would look like this: [more]
Notice how I can also set the time range that the Out of Office Assistant is running. This is a pretty nifty new feature for Outlook 2007.
Over the past several days AT&T customers have reported a drastic increase in the number of non-spam messages being rejected by AT&T SPAM filters. [more]

The following organization rejected your message: att.net", and the receiver might view a log with a message similar to "550 Error. Blocked for abuse". However, many of the messages are from legitimate users or companies.
