Where’s George?
So, I was looking through my wallet to see how much cash I had me, to see if maybe I needed to go to the bank tomorrow, and I noticed a strange stamp on a $1 bill. I commonly see stupid things noted on bills, but it had a web address. The stamp was partly obfuscated by the green Department of Treasury stamp on the right side, but I discovered it to say:
See where I’ve been
Track where I go next!

Interesting. It’s an online project to track where currency notes end up. I submitted the bill that was stamped here. Even has a link to show the Google map between the points.
Here is the most-tracked bill. Almost 5,000 miles in over 3 years.
Just Checkin’ In
Just here to get my once-a-month post written. There’s some welcome changes within WordPress. One thing that was annoying to me was that you used to be restricted to what widgets the theme used. Nice to be able to customize them a little more.
Some new themes available. Like the cleaner fonts on this one, and not having to read them against a stark white background.

I use an XP machine at work to produce their website and I commonly use [Notepad] for copy/paste scratch or to quickly edit a little JavaScript. I liked that it was just small and light, but it’s absolutely feature-less. So, I looked around to see if there was a Windows equivalent to gedit or Kate, and found Notepad++. It has more features than I would ever possibly use, but it’s nice to have the language highlighting.
