Francis Bacon on Truth Google Search It "Truth, which only doth judge itself, teacheth that the inquiry of truth, which is the love-making or wooing of it, the knowledge of truth, which is the presence of it, and the belief of truth, which is the enjoying of it, is the sovereign good of human nature."           (By Francis Bacon - Taken from The Book of Virtues which was edited by William J. Bennett and published by Simon & Schuster in 1993.) Wow!  Very cool! 10:41:36 PM   []    comment []

More on the Google It Macro Google Search It Well, thanks to the help from Mark Paschal I was able to change the appearance of the Google It macro with HTML (see question from Google It Macro).  It really was quite obvious in hind sight.  Here is the code I used: <%radio.macros.googleIt(<%itemNum%>, "<font face=\"times"> <font color="#0039b6">G</font><font color="#c41200">o</font><font color="#f3c518">o</font><font color="#0039b6">g</font><font color="#30a72f">l</font><font color="#c41200">e</font> Search It</font>")%> and the result: Google Search It The key was not to place the macro on multiple lines and also to replace any "s with \".  Obviously, also make sure that both parameters are surrounded in "s. 10:21:04 PM   []    comment []

World Time Server Google Search It There are presumably a bunch of sites out there that offer this service but many of the obvious URLs don't seem to do it so I will mention this one anyway.  If you are looking for a site that gives you the current time in virtually any country/city check out http://www.worldtimeserver.com.  6:28:24 AM   []    comment []

TCP/IP Port Assignment Reference File in Windows Google Search It Here is another tip from the Elements K Journal tips that I found useful: Occasionally, we have to recall a specific port assignment for some protocol or application on our Windows NT systems. Only the masterful techies, however, have all of them memorized.  For a shortcut to a well-defined list, open the %Systemroot%System32Driversetcservices file in a text editor such as Notepad. This file stores all of the various port number to application/protocol assignments for your NT system. It is not a complete list by any means but still, it is a useful quick reference if you happen to need such information. 6:24:37 AM   []    comment []
