A while back I was mildly interesting in investing. I subscribed to all the RSS feeds I could find and read all kinds of tips about how I can get rich quick and maximize my 401(k). After reading Merlin Mann’s Cancel Something on 43Folders I definitely figured out I needed to ditch this.
I decided I need to focus on my eight goals for this year, investing isn’t one of them. I’m sure I’m missing out because I won’t be budgeting with Quicken and tracking each penny like miser but the over-arching goal is to get healthy.
This also really cleaned out my RSS feeds. The dude at Free Money Finance posts a million times a day which means that’s a million more times I’m distracted a day so I might see a slight improvement in productivity.
I could definitely use a few more of these sessions with some of my other occasional obsessions…

Nice looking site. I’d like to know how you set up the 2006/01/12 dynamic url thingie
Quick note: My comment isn’t seeming to show up on the comments RSS. Maybe it just takes a little bit
Thanks! Here’s the rewrite stuff in my .htaccess file:
? ? ? ? RewriteEngine On
? ? ? RewriteBase /wordpress/
? ? ? ? RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
? ? ? ? RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
? ? ? ? RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php
? ? ? ? # BEGIN WordPress
? ? ? ? RewriteEngine On
? ? ? ? RewriteBase /
? ? ? ? RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
? ? ? ? RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
? ? ? ? RewriteRule . /index.php
WordPress wrote it for me but if you look up mod_rewrite help there’s tons of it out there.?
I have a whole lot of these at the beginning of my index.php also:
? ? ? ? header(‘HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently’);
? ? ? ? header(‘Location: http://lolindrath.com/‘);
? ? ? ? exit;
Your comment didn’t come up right away because I turned on comment moderation. Once an author is approved once to comment you should be able to comment without me approving you from now on.
Not a million times a day — maybe just 999,999.
Thanks for noticing — and reading.
Hehe, I meant that in the best possible way
Wait, were you doing a vanity search?
