Slow blogging, busy work
Urg. I’ve been flat out at work – sorry for the lack of posts.
Online selling – update
Sigh.
I’m glad I created a new gmail account for selling those sofas.
Within a week I’ve been inundated with spam and scam emails.
Most have not been from craigslist – but from another online ad we put on KSL – a local media company.
I wonder how the average consumer copes with this? I am naturally skeptical and wary of anyone offering to buy a sofa, sight unseen. If they are from the other side of the US – or even the world – then it’s just got to be bogus. Add to that the deluge of spam and viruses – it’s just not safe to be doing this anymore.
I will say that craigslist does have a good policy of providing an anonymous email address – that helps to reduce the instances of inbound spam. The local KSL site does several pretty bad things by default – it includes your name, phone number and real email address. Not helpful.
New blog theme; CSS creation
I’m working on a new blog/site – and I’m working on a new, crisp three column design.
I found a great article that describes how to do this – with the result of really clean HTML and CSS.
A nice article.
Craigslist
Most people have heard of eBay and others; craigslist still seems to still be a word-of-mouth secret.
We need to sell two large sofas.
Seems like craigslist is a good way to sell things like this – I’ve had some great feedback from friends and colleagues.
Here’s the link – if you’re interested I’ll certainly haggle on price 😉
Wifi, iTunes and Airport
I’ve been playing music via iTunes to my Apple Airport for a while – and it’s always been pretty perfect.
Recently however the music keeps stopping and starting – nothing seemed to fix it.
Then I found a firmware update for the Airport – here – that seemed to work. I moved the wifi to use channel 11; updated the Airport and everything is now happy.
