No more Harvard Debt

I found my friend reading an article (http://management.fortune.cnn.com/2012/05/16/student-debt-business-school/) featuring this blog: http://nomoreharvarddebt.com/

Found it interesting and perhaps I could pick up an idea or 2 for myself on improving my own financial management - not that I need drastic adjustments but a few tips on personal finance don't hurt.

It bugs me though, having to pay off loans that gargantuan. I heard from my friends from the US: medical students, college loans, MBAs etc.... It's a very typical phenomenon... In comparison, I feel extremely fortunate.

Backing up Sticky Notes

I haven't found an app that allows me to "scribble" easily.

In the meantime, I find the in-built Sticky Notes of Windows 7 serves its purpose fairly well so far. But there is an issue when you start scribbling things and notes start piling - backing up becomes a necessity.

So here's a website that I found showing me where the sticky notes are housed on the Windows system:

Sticky Notes is actually housed here:
C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt


Just copy that file into your backup vessel.

Realization

Suddenly I realized my job is to shape nebulous things, make them less amorphous...

Just a thought.

But somehow, those things are making my brain all mushy and gooey...
