VPSLink Promotion: 10% Lifetime Discount Coupon
Unsolicited testimonial: VPSLink, the virtual machine hosting service that I use to host this here very blog, has a 10% off the lifetime of your service if you sign up this month (I’m guessing their fiscal year begins April 1st!). I’ve had no problems with my service from them over the last six months, and have just purchased a second “server” to host my email and suchlike. If you want root on a remote box, this is a pretty good deal.

Amazon.com: Microsoft Ladies Laptop Tote - Madison
Joy just got one of these, and it’s pretty impressive. A feminine-looking tote bag, which gives no indication that inside is plenty of padding and pockets for your laptop, powerpack, and assorted other gadgetry.
