The office is too small to accommodate both Baby and I during the summer months. It’s literally like sitting in a box, because of this we’ve been working on redoing things to use the best amount of space without filling the room with useless items that we don’t need. He’s told me that he’d be willing to get another desk but I’m not one who likes the idea of a perfectly good desk being thrown out. I do know that he’s going to be upgrading to two LCD monitors sometime in the near future so that will cut down on space, which is exactly how the room will be rearranged. I do actually want a nice setup in there but in order to do it, I’m going to have to do some serious pricing on very important furniture.

We can’t spend all our money in the office though, we’re in dire need of bedroom furniture because there’s no way we can handle the setup the way it is now. I need to get some kind of a window ledge put together so Bella can have her seat back. Up until a few days ago we had the big chair underneath the window but since the air conditioning vent is right there, we wound up moving it to another side of the room – she’s now lost her seat. I want to build a box that’s an extension of the window ledge there now and then have a small ramp or stairs to help her get up to it. Now she’s making the attempt to jump up in the window (the way a cat would do) but since she’s NOT a cat, she doesn’t quite know how to contort herself to get where she needs without smacking her face in the window, or just plain falling off the ledge. It’s only a 2 foot drop and she leaps further than that whenever she hangs out in the book case.

So I need to get a night stand or small book shelf that’s open underneath for the air to come through, we also need a new bed. Of course a mattress is more important than a frame at the moment. Baby is already willingly sleeping on the floor, he hasn’t even done anything to deserve it but he’s got no choice based on how his back is feeling. I’m tempted to flip the mattress up and sleep on the floor with him. We may wind up doing that sooner than anticipated at the way I’m feeling.

From sitting in an uncomfortable dining room chair all day, to sleeping on an even more uncomfortable bed – my back is beyond messed up and all I can do is hope that some serious cash just falls into my lap so I can start doing some remodeling that will benefit not only the size of the room – but my back in general.

I’m most likely going to go with greatpricedfurniture.com because they literally have what they advertise, great priced furniture. Baby’s mom works for a furniture store and even at the factory direct prices, before the 300% mark-up the furniture is better quality and cheaper. So why not stick with affordability instead of paying an employee’s salary who just told you what colors you could get something in, you know?

Since a lot of people use their websites for monetary purposes, it’s not that rare to find out that they’re involved in multiple Pay Per Click sponsors on the side just to help bring in the extra cash. There’s a company named Acquisio that’s created a PPC Management Software. It integrates your Google Adwords, Microsoft Adcenter and Yahoo! Search Marketing campaigns, giving you the top level overview of all marketing efforts, the ability to analyze trends and the powerful ability to correlate the impact of changes on performance.

It’s powerful features include:

• Provides agencies with a white labelled reporting interface ?¢‚Ć‚Äô Clients think it’s your own ingenious solution
• Proprietary reporting measures the impact of every change on the performance of campaigns for variables like number of clicks, click-through rate, cost per click, average position, conversion rate, cost per conversion, and ROI
• Deployment interface that is intuitive and simple, while powerful enough to exploit each individual vendor’s specific rules
• User friendly interface – Your clients don’t have to be PPC experts to understand exactly what is happening with their advertising efforts
• Official Google and Yahoo! (Overture) API integration, MSN forthcoming (Full scalability for further integration projects)
• Collaboration at a new level. From within the interface start blog like threads, share excel and word documents, message, post to-dos and take snapshots of any report you like, then add your own annotations

Whether you’re an agency, small company, or large web presence, acquisio SEARCH offers the flexibility to accommodate your needs and coordinate all of your paid advertising efforts, on any scale, at a price you can afford.

I think this is a program that any one with these companies should consider. I should let Baby in on this because his boss’ website is LOADED to the rim with ads, maybe it’ll help him bring in some more cash – on top of the few thousand a month he makes anyway – haha.

I’ve decided that I have no choice in the matter, I’m going to be getting myself an actual credit card sometime in the next few weeks. I love the idea of only spending what I have but now that I’ve moved, finances have changed and my outcome is a slight-bit higher than my income for the time being. I figure it’d be easier to get myself a simple card and work from there. My problem is finding the Best Credit Cards for my needs.

Who do you currently have your cards with? I know that there’s really only Discover, Master card, Visa and American Express. The thing is, each of those cards have quite a few companies attached to them, so which one are you with? Baby is with Chase and while they’re great for student cards, they aren’t that great for non-students looking for low interest rates. At this point, I’m not sure of where to turn. Sure, there are sites like creditcardsearchengine.com to help me out, and they have, but I’d like to know what my peers are using as well. So any and all comments on the subject would be nice.

In order to get a card with an interest rate under 14%, I need to have excellent credit. While I do have a high credit score, I’ve never owned a credit card so I’m completely stumped as to how to go about pursuing the “Excellent” credit based cards when I don’t even know if I’d pass. I know the proof is in the pudding and it only requires actually trying it, but I guess I’ll have to keep searching for it.

With identity theft steadily increasing over the last 10 years, it’s important for computer users to really make sure they keep on top of everything they do on their computers. Some may be thinking “Oh, it’ll never happen to me – I have a difficult ten+ character password for all of my accounts!”. This doesn’t mean it still can’t happen to you. Just sending out an email, you send out more of your computer information than you realize. It’s important to be secure in what you do, it’s really not that difficult either.

It’s kind of rare to come across a website that offers you a highly secure and free program to protect your confidential and personal information. One of my newest bookmarks is SecureZIP – The next generation of ZIP. With this program you can secure information stored on PCs such as tax records, bank statements, medical records, passwords and other private data all with the click of a button. You can automatically protect email messages and attachments sent to friends, family, banks, accountants and others that you normally would share sensitive information with. This program integrates flawlessly with Microsoft Outlook?Ç¬Æ to automatically encrypt, digitally sign and zip email messages and attachments.

I downloaded the program just to test it out and it’s fairly simple to use, you can download it for yourself at www.securezip.com. It’s a completely free download and only requires a valid email address to get your hands on it. Use it to keep yourself secure. With all of the terrible things that can be done to users online with the smallest bit of information, why not look for a way to protect yourself? If you happen to come across a free program like SecureZIP, I’m sure you’d realize the importance of taking advantage of this offer as well.

Baby is really into computers, so much so that he’s basically had a hand in building every computer being used in the house. For quite some time now he’s been considering going to school to get his A+ Microsoft Certification. There’s a school down here that offers it, A+ Certified ON THE BEACH! is it’s selling point. He doesn’t really like class rooms though. While doing my usual daily surf I came across PrepLogic. They offer Microsoft MCSE Training, CompTIA A+ Certification, CCNA, Network+, Security+ and CISSP with PrepLogic Practice Exams and Video Training. The main point of the company is to complete the skills you need to get certified without ever having to open a book. The LearnSmart Video Training gives you a complete classroom experience, without having to leave your home. For those who learn better on a one-on-one basis then home training is obviously the way to go.

If you’re looking for your certification, maybe you should consider heading over to preplogic.com.
