We’ve all used Microsoft Office at least once. I came across a great tip today detailing how to edit the My Places list in the Open and Save as dialog windows in Microsoft Office applications. You can add or remove places from the list with just a few Registry tweaks.

With changing school districts, I need to export my 1.5+ GB of e-mail out of Lotus Notes and into something useful to me. Since I have been working on consolidating my many e-mail accounts into just a few Gmail-enabled accounts, Gmail seemed like the natural choice for the export. After all, both Gmail and Lotus Notes support IMAP with SSL. It can’t be that hard, can it?

I was about to push my chair back from the desk when I opened my blog stats in the WordPress admin dashboard. Apparently, my post about putting photos on an iPod is still very popular (relatively speaking, of course). One of the neat things that the blog stats shows me is the links that users click on to leave my blog. I found out that a link I posted in the aforementioned post was incorrect; Apple changed the URL. I have now updated the link, and all should be well in the universe once again.

So, the blog stats are useful, especially in helping to solve problems that my readers may have with bad links.
