I spent a lot of time being my own boss. I was a stay-at-home mom, after all. But I also spent 7 years as an employee and I know that I’d still be at that job if it had been run properly.

Seriously, when Employee Evaluations are decided based on how willing you are to cover for the manager who takes too many days off, you know things are bad. Software that helps track that kind of behavior and assists in the business owner’s decision-making regarding personnel will save the company money in the long run.

From Recruitment and Training to Performance Reviews, this software gives Managers excellent control and allows Business owners to monitor their managers as well. Needless to say I particularly like the Attendance feature and wish this software had been a part of my last job.

Any business wanting to move forward and grow needs to invest in the best people possible. Manager Assistant, with its excellent support and reasonable pricing will help to ensure you achieve that goal.

We’ve been through this before. I’m a pack rat. I’ma pack rat in real life and I’m a digital pack rat, too. Every file, download, zip file, font, text file, gif, whatever, that I’ve ever owned, is on my hard drive, a CD or a jump drive somewhere. Heck, I’d rather add more memory than delete any of my fonts!

If you’re like me and love fonts, you really ought to download Free Fonts and Dingbats at UrbanFont. I just love this site because not only do they have a great selection of free fonts, but it’s laid out with a total Web2.0 look and feel. They have a great selection of Dingbats, too.

While you’re there looking around, be sure to check out their forums, where you can talk about the specific fonts or get advice on working with fonts. And for some of the nicest articles on fonts, be sure to take a look at the UrbanFont Blog.

By the time I’m done at UrbanFonts, I’ll need to add another stick of memory for sure.

I’ve studied astrology for decades. Way back before I had my old 286 PC, I learned to calculate astrology charts the hard way. It was all on paper with my ephemeris open beside me. Then I drew the chart by hand, from the houses to each little glyph. It was a labor of love but it wore me out and didn’t leave much energy for the “craft” part: interpretation. That was the part I loved.

After getting a computer with a modem and internet access, I found a treasure trove of astrological information. But I just never found the perfect software solution. I’ll bet I downloaded a dozen different programs, all having a great feature or two but none having everything. I guess time has fixed that.

My Star World Astrology Software seems to be a complete astrology solution. Whether you’re wanting a Personality profile, a simple chart or a soul mate reading, this software will do it.

I especially like the Young Life Report. Interpreting a child’s or teen’s chart is a little tricky. Many of the aspects and planets represent potential in the young person or warning signs for the parent to note. My Star World Astrology Software makes it so much easier to provide a detailed report about children.

I was really surprised that this software had the correct longitude and latitude for my little town where I was born. I didn’t expect that. I thought for sure I’d have to find a nearby bigger city. But the little town was listed and I was able to get an accurate chart.

In fact, I compared this computer-generated chart with my own hand-calculated one as well as one I paid for about 20 years ago. Yes, My Star World is right on the money.

Speaking of money, I really liked that you can buy the whole software package, one module at a time or a combination of modules. That’s a great way to afford this software, building up as you become more familiar with it.The software is as robust as you want it to be. Although, for such a reasonable price, the whole package seems the way to go.

For the professional astrologer, this software offers reselling licensing. Can’t beat that. And it’s broken down for internet stores as well as a complete system, both internet and Brick & mortar business.

Whether you’re a professional or amateur, this software is really worth a look. Easy to understand, beautiful charts, accurate calculations and spot on interpretations. Take a look.

I know that privacy is always a huge issue with everyone. It is with me, at least. And yet, as a mother, I sometimes feel compelled to check up on my kids. I get that feeling even more with their online activity lately. You see, they each have their own computer and two of those computers are not in family areas. That’s why I’ve told the kids that I may check their machines to find out what they’ve been doing. I figure that if I”m warning them ahead of time it’s not really an invasion of privacy. It’s parenting.

I’m pretty good and finding deleted stuff on their machines but I’d really like to make computer monitoring a little easier. I’m really intrigued by Spector Pro. Its IM and MySpace monitoring make it a perfect tool for monitoring my teenaged kids. The PC Magazine Editor’s Choice Award caught my eye, too. Monitoring my kids is serious business and this software will make the job easier. What a great find.
