~ We finally got the GoogleApps email live for the pibc.edu addresses this morning. PIBC staff at all the sites need to login to activate their accounts -- please. -- Link

~ Firefox with Greasemonkey has a new Gmail Multiple HTML Signatures user script. -- Link

I haven't tried it. I want to because I'd like the multiple signatures option but I've found that every time I install a Greasemonkey-Gmail application it makes Gmail unstable -- and I end up crashing Firefox. I'll wait until Gmail comes up with something from their end. Hint. Hint.

However, the phone sure beats having to step outside to check the position of the sun. -- Link

~ On Guam Micro Mall is the place to welcome in the year of the rat! -- Link

~ Billions of entrepreneurs in China and India -- the competition has begun -- Link

~ Texas is on fire again -- Link

~ The Australian government plans to present an apology for the stolen generation of Aborigines -- Link

~ Yahoo is laying off 1,000 -- 7% of its workforce. Ouch. Is this a new bubble popping or residual from the last pop? -- Link
