About Thrifty Living
As a compulsive deal scout, it should be surprising to no one who knows me that I created a blog dedicated (at least in part) to the subject. Thrifty Living is all about providing a resource to assist others in attaining their goals in a financially savvy and productive way.
As I find deals of interest, coupons, rebates, free stuff, etc. I will share those on this site. Obviously, there are a lot of bargains to be had on the internet. I will only post those that I feel are exceptional enough to be of interest to my readers.
Almost as important to me as these savings opportunities are productivity solutions; ideas which can help to save time and maybe money as well. Look for these post from me as well.
The 60 Second Organizer (Free eBook)
Some fairly good ideas in this book for organizing all aspects of your life from your desk at work to the junk drawer at home.
The eBook is available as a free download at Wowio.com (see my previous post: Free eBooks at Wowio.com).
Clink the image below for more information on the eBook (and to add to your download queue):
Check Out Rainlendar: Free Customizable Desktop Calendar
I've used the free version of Rainlendar (Lite) for over a year now at home and at the office. This nice calendar app puts a semi transparent calendar on your desktop. It can also have a list of upcoming events under it if you wish. The calendar fades when your mouse isn't over it so it doesn't interfere with your work. Like any calendar program you can schedule all your events (which are identified with icons on the calendar). There are a lot of options:
- Always on top (or bottom
- Different Skins
- Display multiple months (or just one)
- Display event lists
- To-Do List
- Recurring events
- Variable fade/transparency
- Search events and tasks
Installing a Print Server Step By Step
It's well worth the time and money to set up your printer on your home network. Save money in the long run. You will only have one printer to purchase and maintain. Furthermore, you won't have those interruptions when another family member has to get on the PC with the 'good' printer. I have it set up at home so the kids can print remotely...all wireless. I did mine a little differently (didn't purchase a separate print server...my pc has to be on all the time).
Check out the article: Install a Print Server - Compter Shopper
