Driveway

I found a pretty cool site today. I have been looking for something to host files on for my grandma to download. She is a couple states away and really, not all that tech saavy. I needed something that was easier for her to use and yet robust enough that I was willing to use it to send large files.

Things like pictures, videos and how to documents mostly are what I needed it for but there is the rare occasion I need to upload something larger than 100MB and Driveway fit the bill. Easy, free and no registration. Seriously, what more could I ask for?

Post #400 (for lack of a better title)

I am so glad its Friday! 2 days of playing and having fun with my boy.

I realized this afternoon that I talk to Alex like he is 30. I explain my reasoning to him, the logic behind decisions I make and the things I do. Its rather funny when I think about it. Either he will learn to tune me out rather quickly or he will learn to be very long winded! :)

In the computer world, I got Office 2007 in the mail a couple days ago and installed it this evening. Through work, we get a program called Microsoft Home Use and it allows us to buy certain software packages for very low prices. $21 for the Office 2007 suite and Visio. Pretty darn cheap if you ask me! It has a few new cool features in it for Outlook. The ability to check RSS feeds is really nice. It looks a lot like 2003 though it is more blue instead of silver/grey. I haven't launched all the apps yet but I would imagine there are some nice new features to play with in each one. I did like with Outlook that it had the ability to go out to my ISP and grab all the settings for me. THAT was nice instead of having to configure it manually (although that is still an option too).
