For those of you looking for a shorter url for your google+ profile, you can use the http://gplus.to, or, if you have your own domain where you can create an .htaccess rule to handle a redirect:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^g\+$ https://plus.google.com/123457890 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

Replace the url in the rule with your profile url, upload the file as .htaccess or, add the lines to an existing .htaccess file.

Then, when you go to http://yoursite.com/g+ you'll be redirected to your google profile account. Now, you're in control of your own url and don't need to worry when gplus.to is slow or down. Nor do you need to worry about whether those services will eventually shut down for lack of revenue, or, start putting interstitial ads in.

You can also use any of the link shortener services to do the same.

Try it out: http://cd34.com/g+

I want to be on google+ seems all the cool people are. my gmail addy is gotpornforwomen if anyone has invites they can swing me.

Just got the morning chores done. cats fed, litter boxes cleaned, swamp cooler on. Looks like today is the last day of high humidity then they will be back to their efficient cooling selves.

Our next remodeling job we went to do is replace our carpet with traffic master premium Morroco Slate. This stuff looks like real stone, and the colors look better than the pics, and it is pretty cheap. Reviews are good, I just wonder about rolling chairs over it (since we want to do our offices). Anyone used something like this for an office floor? We are both tired of cleaning cat vomit off carpet, and neither one of us feels confident enough to install our own ceramic tile, and this would be a bit cushier than tile. We have a lino in our kitchen that looks like stone, and we have had people go down and touch the floor to see if it is real stone, and that is what this looks like.

I just posted this on your FB wall.
I had vinal flooring. Looks great for a couple of years and then no so great. But it is easy to put down and replace as needed.

We have porcelain tile through the whole house now. It was pretty expensive but 6 years later looks just like it did when it was first laid.

We have ceramic tile in the bathrooms, and entryway, but had it professionally installed. (and wow was that pricey) We can actually buy almost the same ceramic tile at home depot for cheaper than the peel and stick (it is $.99 for 16x16 squares) but neither of us have ever laid tile before, and that big of squares and our tiny office, we are going to have to do a lot of cutting. My office is really weird shaped roughly 8x10 but the door is on a diagonal in one corner.
