[001] Posted a color poll on 
mintyapple and it would be awesome if y'all could check t out - feel free to skim and choose what calls out to you. I'm kinda torn because while I know I will be having 3 layouts in white, grey and black respectively, I'm not sure if I should stick to light colors in the rest of the colorschemes (which is most popular on LJ), do some dark colorschemes which can look so awesome on more professional blogs, or go midway with splashes of color. Damn it.
[002] If a website goes down or if a story goes offline, you could check this aricle on how to find lost web pages. I got to read two fics that had virtually disappeared off the internet!
[003] Fatwallet.com forums are a life saver. They have a thread on Sprint SERO - get internet, messaging and cell phone service for $30 a month. I'm paying over $40 a month for Cingular/AT&T and that's for just basic cell phone service. WTF. Am switching over in May.

sharona1x2 pointed out that gonzo is going to be streaming anime (WITH SUBTITLES) - which is just fabulous news :)
[005] I know some of y'all are hunting for apartments/homes so here are 3 floor design sites to make it easier to visualize the homes with your funiture in it :)
[006] I admit I still adore parchment color schemes but...CHOCOLATE is awesome - PSDtuts.com used to have a gorgeous yummy cocoa colorscheme and just thinking about it makes me drool. Andgrrliz just posted up her opal layout and it's got lovely browns too.
[007] My sis and I watched the anime Gakuen Alice over the weekend - it pwned Kodomo no Omocha IMO - but I think I'm going to try Lucky Star and Minami-ke in future. Yeah, I know - I almost never touch shoujo, but it's been a while since I laughed so hard over a cartoon. Damn it, when is the next episode of Avatar going to air?
[008] Keeping track of your credit score can be expensive - most sites run at about $10 a month. However, I just gt a year's membership at PrivacyMatters123.com for $30 - I can check all 3 reports AND scores every 24 hours - and again it's thanks to a thread on fatwallet.com
[009] What's this "Linux and why should I try it - Articles like this one remind me that yes, I need to break out of my cozy box since there is an alternative to Microsoft other than Apple - and it'll work on regular PCs.

There needs to be a site where you can type in an anime and a list of recs will be provided of similar anime - we'd know what to look for (or avoid!)
Also, I downloaded opera for the first time last night, and am ready to customise. I'm checking out your tags for opera, immediately. :*
I think I scare people when I do the bullet list >__> TMI I think.
Opera is very spiffy. I was using Safari AND Firefox because I need to be logged into two Google accounts at the same time, but now I'm trying to use Opera instead of Firefox.
So far I've found two things you might like:
Adblock list: http://www.fanboy.co.nz/adblock/opera/urlfilter.ini
Fix for Google Docs: http://chuso.1.vg/?id=68
I'm having trouble getting the latter to work on my mac, but I'm still working on it. Query: can I be logged into two google accounts at the same time with Opera? Something about pages... ?
I adore adblock and just updated it a month ago! It's very cool that firefox and opera users can both benefit from it ♥
I don't really use google docs so I'm pretty clueless on that issue ^__^''
Votes on the color poll :)
Yay, color poll vote!
I installed it yesterday and made some comments here
I know opera is on it as well as semagic (lj posting client) and photoshop and being able to see videos...I've got to decide if it'll be my alternative OS when I want something quick and fast or my prmary one, to replace Vista for everything except MS Office...
And if that doesn't exist, I'll try to find a virtual machine for Linux and see if I can't fix some things that way.
I'm very happy with Linux's performances, especially considering that my comp is a pretty old one (Intel Pentium 2.4 GHz with 768 MB RAM)
Keeping track of the scores/reports helped me to find ways to actually raise them by a 100+ points over the past 9 months - 'cause you need your reports to be able to dispute incorrect info in the reports...
