Text Only Copying
I do a lot of work with Excel files and oftentimes have to paste its contents into Lotus Notes. When you do this it pastes the data in as an image file instead of just plain text. PureText is a great tool to take whatever you have copied to the clipboard and converts it into plain text. This is very nice if you’re copying from webpages or word documents and just want the words and not the formatting. With one extra keystroke you can paste plain text instead of having to take the time to go all the way to Paste Special. PureText is a highly recommened program and, best of all, its free!
College Courses as Podcasts
Purdue University is podcasting several of its courses and calling it the Boilercast.
I’m currently listening to CSR 342 – Personal Finance which is a really excellent course on investing. The descriptions of the classes aren’t included in the podcast description but you can find the course catalog here.
