Behind the Scenes in My Online Business
The internet is full of memes, and one of my all-time favourites is Cary Grant pointing to the door, and saying, “Get out!”
So, instead of posting a regular computer tip today, I tracked down the movie that the “Get out!” meme comes from. Now you won’t have to waste time going down internet rabbit holes, looking for the answer yourself. So this is a time-saving tip!
All day, every workday, I use Notepad++ to make notes about what I’m doing. It takes a few minutes to make those notes, but they often come in handy, months later.

I use Dreamweaver for my Contextures website, and leave that program open all the time. The main reason for leaving it open is because Dreamweaver takes a long time to start again, after it’s been shut down. And over time, it takes longer and longer – up to several minutes.
