Two Cool Tools

These aren't directly related to Office XP, but they might make your work less frustrating and more fun. :) I've run across both of these tools in the last couple of days:

• Filext.com : A site that lists maybe every file extension ever created and gives the name, format, and the program that created them. This was helpful recently when someone sent me a digital composition and Windows Media Player had no clue how to play it. I went out to the site, found the name of the program, downloaded a demo version, and played the song--all in under three minutes.
  
• audblog.com: I can sum up my reaction to this tool with one big "Woo hoo!" <jumping up and down>. I admit to being a complete computer nerd and a total blogophile, but this simple add-on technology allows you to phone in your blog postings. Very, very cool. I tried it out on one of my other blogs (www.revisionsplus.com/practicalfaith.html) because I'm not sure how it will act with a subscription system, but it's simple, free (for a trial period anyway), and adds real life to your online voice.

Take a look and see whether these things add a little sparkle to your day. :) k
