"Fourteen Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn" by Dave Barry

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.


2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."


3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."


4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.


5. You should not confuse your career with your life.


6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.


7. Never lick a steak knife.


8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.


9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.


10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.


11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.


12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.


13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)


14. Your friends love you anyway.

Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

I've got some layout problems with internet explorer and situations leads me to test the site under different versions of Internet explorer but trust me it's not a easy job to run internet explorer 4, 5, 6 and 7 in the same system. But hey there are always solutions.. Tredosoft has came up with the installer which will run internet explorer from version 3 until 7. Thats a impressive piece of work. Ever wanted to test your website in various versions of Internet Explorer? It is possible to run Internet Explorer in standalone mode without having to over-write previous versions thanks to Joe Maddalone who came up with a way of achieving that in November 2003. Basically, Internet Explorer is run by exploiting a known workaround to DLL hell - which was introduced in Windows 2000 and later versions - called DLL redirection.

Read the complete details on setting it up from TredoSoft and download the installer (of course free).

TredoSoft has another beautiful article on Internet Explorer 7 to run it in standalone mode . You might want to check it out.

Launchy is a very useful day to day use software that can bring your windows productivity to the next level. Launchy is designed upon the technology used in Mac which is called the Quick Silver. Actually Launchy is a keyboard launcher means it will take input from your keyboard to do the task. Something like a command prompt but with a lot of features included inside. Launchy is a free windows utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager. Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!

It takes a small footprint and it wont be there when you don't need it. Sleek and simple, easy to use. Supports skins and plugins architecture. You can extend it's capability by using plugins, as example you can load your firefox bookmarks so that when you start typing something, your firefox bookmarks will also be available inside the search.

There are few other free products in the market as Launchy, namely Google Desktop , Colibri , Slickrun . But yet Launchy took my attention because of the speed, performance, customization and ease of use. Now how do you configure lanuchy to get the most out of it and make your life easier?
