So… this week Skyler updated the look and feel of the blog so it matches everything else. So thanks, Skyler. I think it looks great! I just spent two and a half days at our home office, learning the ropes a little better and here are a few fun tips I picked up and can pass along.

So… as many of you may have already noticed, the link for our Copy File Path application was wrong. Just so you know, it’s been corrected.
For those of you that were confused and irritated by this, I’m sorry 🙁
It wasn’t really Dynamic Edge’s fault this happened, there’s certainly only one idiot to blame. So Jeff, to you I’m especially sorry for being such an idiot. And I promise to *try not to* let it happen again… ever!

I made a new friend in the office this week (via email, since I’m not actually there). His name is Jim and, as I’ve been told, he’s the go-to guy for grammar questions. Now, usually I’ve got a pretty good handle on how you’re supposed to write things [*whether I use it all the time or not*] but here are a few helpful words Jim passed on to me, to help keep News From the Edge looking good. They’ll probably also be useful for other people, like me who need to be writing regularly about stuff that they’re not 100% sure of:

I’ve definitely got to figure out what all these internet slang terms mean! Otherwise, there’s no way to moderate this blog!
Okay, so this part is probably only going to be new to me… but here it goes, anyway.
I was told before I came back home (I’m living in North Carolina right now, telecommuting between here and Ann Arbor via the wonder of the internet) that if I had any problem hooking up my Virtual Private Network, that I could call the home office and they could “remote access” my PC and help me out. So why it was a surprise to me to see my cursor moving without any persuasion on my part, I don’t know… but it was.

Up until about two weeks ago, I’d been using Mac stuff for the past… well, lets estimate ten years. I’ve been using PCs occasionally, like when I needed to find a certain book at the public library… and to log in at the DMV. So that said, I’ve got a few things to pick up on with regard to PC computing.
Here’s one example: In the past, I’ve only used screen shots to save a picture of my desktop if my fickle Apple told me that a fatal error had occurred, and that the program I was using needed to be shut down. This almost always happened when I reached the 2/3 mark in a great article I was writing (with a killer lead that took half a day to nail down…) The screen shot allowed me to take a picture of those prized words, so that I wouldn’t have to conjure up another 700 words or so. It was kismet! Screenshots saved my life more than once.
