busy day...
1) my first mail arrived and was scanned in my new "virtual" mailbox. i'm going paperless and i'm really diggin' the service. i'm hoping this will eliminate a bunch of clutter i have, piles of papers around the house and unfiled documents.
2) also on the e-mailbox front, i got my first bill (cable bill) via paytrust and they auto-scheduled the payment based on my rule (less than $20). once less thing to do! --i'm trying to avoid having to log in to a dozen sites just to read and archive my statements, then schedule and pay my bills. plus i can have any bill, not just electronic one's sent and processed, in one place.
3) "hoooney, could you pick up more toner on the way home...?"
my printer sent me an email. (actually it's a thermal and doesn't take toner but you get the picture). i'm working on printing labels at home while i'm at the office, that way i can pick up labels and just go. now my printer can warn me if there's a problem, let me know what's up --zebra's built-in printer server rocks! so nice to be able to "talk" to the printer too (via admin pages) rather than just decipher blinky-lights (moris code) on the front panel.
4) speaking of which, i finally printed my own *genuine* fedex label. not a screen-shot paper-dump from the web but the real deal on my kickass zebra thermal. printed over the net too. woot. oh, i'll miss flirting with the fine customer service folks while i filled out the paperwork tho... well, time to move on. now i can just drop it the boxes off, have them pick it up. a lot less fuss there.
well, there you go. lots of things only a geek would gloat over in one day.
