March 17 - Del.icio.us (like cabbage & corned beef?)

Top o' the day all my wee lads and lasses. Happy St. Patty's to all! Raise a green pint to the best of your kin and say this Irish toast:

May you get all your wishes but one,
so that you will always have something to strive for...

Ok....once you've done that, get back on your computer. I've found a fairly useful tool for anyone who searches for information on the internet a lot. It's called del.icio.us. and it's hyped as the "wave of the future". (?? I guess time will tell.) Anyway, it's a bookmarking system that lets you save and search useful sites, and it's interactive with other users in the world, taking it up a notch from your old "favorites" list in Explorer. You can look at the links that other people are using at and sort of "ride the wave" of the effort that they have put into searching. Also, you can pass useful links to other people. I haven't tried this particular function yet, but it looks promising for anyone who shares common interests with other people, or likes to network. For example, if miss Emily Allen were using it, I could pass on a bunch of craft and jewelery sites that she might like.....

Ten minutes later:

Found one more good Irish toast! ;-)

Here's to Eve
the mother of us all!
And here's to Adam
the Johnny on the spot when the leaf began to fall.
