Comments on: Surfing at work http://www.fourbux.com/2007/12/11/surfing-at-work/ This blog is really more of a brain dump than anything else - a place where I can shake out my brain and sift through the debris. Like an excited child who finds a shiny nickel, I just feel like sharing what I find with the world.

Google/IE spellcheck isn't good enough, you've got to have a program that checks grammar and punctuation too. Plus, you can save the drafts forever like it's your own little comment hall of fame.

Better than Noidanal. I have a tendency to type quickly and as such litter the landscape with typos. The cut and paste method saves us all the embarrassment. Paranal is good. Better than Noidanal.

Now that's just paranoid. Or anal. (I haven't decided which.) Let's go with "paranal". Sometimes I select the text of a comment or an email and copy it before I send, especially if I'm having network/internet connectivity issues. And I thought I was being paranoid...

I'll be working all evening on something, and the first time I decide to take a break and hit up a car forum or something Wife will come in and tell me to stop screwing around. Such is life, I guess.

It's just that every now and then I forget my own rules and inevitably end up closing the window or quitting the browser accidentally.

I thought I wouldn't have this problem slack... er, working from home. But I've just traded one boss for another. My wife is always looking over my shoulder and saying "Oh, I see you're really working hard. Now come over and help me with thing in the other room." (Alt-F8... hmm...) Emon totally stole my thunder.
