Subject: RE: Spring Cleaning, Declutter & Fitness 2014
Well, we've had our first (and I hope last) piece of spam in a declutter thread. Decluttered!

Today several eBay items will end. Something new to eBay is a button you can click to automatically relist three more times, but since some of these are clearance items I've unclicked them. In the old days you had to struggle to relist items more than once, and they charged for listings and used to give credits if you didn't sell and relisted. They've simplified their system and finally acknowledged that some things just need to run for a little while before the right buyer comes along.

I'm testing a new source of cloud storage. Mega.co.nz has 50GB of free space, and I tested it by uploading a file of photos (that I have stored in DropBox). They aren't terribly fast for the free accounts and after a while they throttle the upload speed. I just ran a test, I think it would work well for smallish general files. In this day and age Win8 devices are intended to use with Cloud Computing sites.

Yesterday was a kind of down day, I think the allergies were part of it, but also the prospect of continuing to work in a basement in a room where most of the staff vote to keep the overhead lights off and work in little pools of light in front of their computer screens and small desk lamps. Yesterday a job was listed in a nearby Dean's office and on the fifth floor with lots of lights and windows. I walked over to see where they are and said hello. I will be applying.

TGIF - I'm looking forward to a weekend of working in the yard. The energy level rises when the sun is bright and the temperatures comfortable.
