This post was almost NULL – I was deep in Power Point mode for Open World, and almost forgot to write today’s post! Also, another admission: I said back on Day 1 of this series, that I was planning on doing 5000 push-ups this month as well. Well, I gave up on that a few days ago. I’m still pushing them out, but 5,000 ain’t going to happen – sorry Philip!
Ok, conscience clean – onto today’s post…

This can also be a good way to get a chuckle out of your audience when doing presentations.
To the Preferences!
Note: this option currently doesn’t play nice if you have the ‘Grid in Zebra…’ preference enabled. We’re working on that :)
Look, every post can’t be a huge, awesome thing like yesterday’s SSH Tunneling post. But this feature has saved me some headaches, more than a few times.
