Nature’s Miracle litter treatment

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

This stuff is really the best invention since kitties themselves.

Nature's Miracle litter treatment

Rich and I both have sensitive noses and with three indoor kitties now, the litter boxes are working overtime. Nothing kills the horrible ammonia smell like a few shakes of the Nature’s Miracle litter treatment powder. It’s like someone has flipped off the “stinky” switch in your nose. Unlike other baking soda “snake oils” (snake powders?), this stuff actually magically makes the smell go away versus just covering it up.

I just changed out the litter boxes yesterday and had to make a special trip to get more because the paint in the laundry room would peel off the walls without it.


Beyond Compare

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

If you’ve ever tried to troubleshoot code/files (like I’ve been doing for the last several weeks as I tweak my CSS and php), there’s nothing like a handy tool to help you compare those files.

My favorite is a PC-based one called Beyond Compare. It color-codes the differences and allows you to move text from one file to the other. You can download a free trial and it’s only $30 to buy.
