sweet relief

Fri, 18 Aug 2000 13:40:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - My hands get very very dry. Worse, at work, I handle a great deal of paper, and with dry skin, I inevitably get papercuts. Sometimes, it's so bad that I notice a burning sensation in the skin of my hands.

And that, my dears, is when I reach...

how to poop in the woods

Sat, 22 Jul 2000 21:55:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - Last night, we discovered how much we value our retractable leash. We couldn't find it, and Howard's evening business was conducted on a normal six-foot lead. Howard's best spots are on slopes of pine needles in the wooded areas around our townhome...

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 21:54:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nita - Once upon a time, there were Rules for both women and men. For example, a single man in a long term affair with a woman had damn well be prepared to marry. In the event one was already so encumbered and could not attain a divorce, a very...

Orange Beyond Ordinary

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 21:10:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - I don't usually like vodka. Everyone claims that it's relatively tasteless and odorless, but that doesn't fool me; vodka usually tastes like dirt to me. Absolut Mandrin, however, manages to fool me. It's vodka, and I like it. Not only that, but...

deep orange flavor for sippin' or mixin'

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 20:31:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nita - It's the type of thing that people who claim to dislike alcohol should not drink. It tastes so good that these unaccustomed folks might overdo. Grand Marnier is an orange cordial (read: liqueur) from a based blended cognacs and the addition of orange...

HouseCall: HouseCall--for when you think you're infected

Wed, 24 May 2000 23:55:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - House calls are for when you're already ill. The worst time to shop for virus scanning software is when you think your system may be infected. You're likely to slap down $60 or $70 dollars on a product that cleans you up now, but in the long run is...

Eat more Hummus! Drink more Rolling Rock!

Fri, 12 May 2000 22:33:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - The reasons I like Rolling Rock are 1) It tastes good with food and makes food tastes better; 2) It tastes good all by itself; 3) it’s not so carbonated I end up a burpy mess; 4) it’s inexpensive enough to keep on hand for socializing on the front...

Blogger: blogger does your chores for you

Fri, 5 May 2000 15:16:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nita - I finally jumped on the bandwagon and tried out Blogger. Its closest competitor is pitas.com, and of the two, I prefer Blogger.

Quick background

Blogger provides a web interface for updating a web page and its archives. The name...

U-pack is a good alternative to truck rental

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 11:55:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - I was moving 1100 miles. My options were thus:

*Spend several thousand dollars on professional movers. Nice, but out of my league.

*Rent a U-Haul or comparable. Tow my car and spend those 1100 miles in the cab with my friend and my...

PGP for Personal Privacy: a standard, and easier to use

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 17:16:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nita - I messed about with PGP a couple of years ago. I was impressed with the technology, but not with the user interface. Boy, has that changed.

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) has become a defacto standard among geeks for encrypting, that is,...

Starring Kenneth Branagh as Woody Allen!

Tue, 12 Oct 1999 11:04:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nita - I can't help but think that Allen pulled Kenneth Branagh aside and said,

"Hey, Ken, I'm too old too play myself anymore, so I want you to play me the way I would have played me before I became a geezer." Actually, he may have asked all of...
