Invitation to help name a freeware

Filed under: Uncategorized — Sivan Segev @ 1:57 pm

About a year ago I released “Free Stocks Ticker”, it now serves me more as a generic news and quotes tool.

Before I build a new page for it on my new blog, I thought it might be useful to rename it appropriately. I’m posting it here because for now - this blog has better exposure to incoming links.

Also, I was thinking on extending it’s abilities to arrange RSS feeds in a tree, and then allowing the new random feature on each tree node - so that you can choose “channels” to scroll. Thoughts?

There are many other things that can be done with RSS feeds - any wishes for extensions there? Perhaps a silent bar that only becomes visible and scrolls things if they are absolutely new and have never been displayed - like an alert? Stock news alerts?

All non-spam comments are welcome.
Cheers!

The long road to relocate from blogvis to blogspot

Filed under: Uncategorized — Sivan Segev @ 1:50 pm

As mentioned before, I’ve had it with blogvis’ shenanigans. I’ve made a decision to move as much content as possible to a new blog.

Unfortunately, “withinmymeans” is taken both as .com domain as well as a blogspot blog.

I decided to name my new blog: “Thrifty Trend”. Here’s the link
thriftytrend.blogspot.com

Slowly but surely, I will be moving my main content from here to there.

Cheers!

A Stock that goes Up and Down 8% Every Day

Filed under: Investing — Sivan Segev @ 7:45 pm

One of the rare REIT to have not lost 80% in value since last year - so fundamentally there are enough reasons to like this company.

However, the chart for this thing tells a tale of horror.

Click for details.

I guess this is in someway related to my very previous post….

Cheers!

OK, maybe the 2nd reason to be scared. Dumb bird. (the bird, not the girl)

The scariest ride for kids under 7. It’s not the little girl that’s so funny, as much as the big mama.

Get paid 80k to stay at home and do nothing (except graduate and not sign with other company)

Filed under: Economy, saving money — Sivan Segev @ 3:43 pm

So long everybody, I’ll just go study law - and stay in 3rd year forever.

Something just sounds too good to be true (especially at these times).

Getting Paid Not to Work

As many Americans are struggling to find a job, some are getting paid as much as $80,000 a year not to work.

A number of third-year law students on the brink of graduation are being asked by their future employers to stay home for now - with pay.

Over 100 large firms, or firms with 200 or more attorneys, have delayed the start date for at least a portion of their incoming first-year associates, according to Above the Law, a blog covering the legal industry. The majority of those firms have delayed start dates into 2010, and provided some financial assistance to those on standby, Above the Law said, a move that doesn’t come cheap.

Some students have been offered hefty stipends of up to $80,000, and even full benefits in some cases.

“The firms want to keep these people and don’t want to lose them,” explained Andy Stettner, deputy director at the National Employment Law Project.

I had a boss who at times was paid not to work - just to keep him away from continue to damage company. He had a contract, they couldn’t fire him - so they paid him to stay away. That happened to that person more than once in his life, I would call him a lucky bastard - except that the proper term would be “just a bastard”.

Cheers!!!

Spiders News, Because it’s Friday

Filed under: Investing, humor — Sivan Segev @ 2:01 pm

And no, by spiders - I don’t mean these ETF-s:

XLY - Consumer Discretionry Select Sector SPDR

XLP - Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR

XLE - Energy Select Sector SPDR

XLF - Financial Select Sector SPDR

XLV - Health Care Select Sector SPDR

XLI - Industrial Select Sector SPDR

XLB - Materials Select Sector SPDR

And more…. they’re great ETF-s and good alternative to mutual funds, but that’s not the point of this post.

I mean these spiders:

Oy - that’s big.

Yet another story of attack of giant spiders - like in a cheap sci-fi movie:
Giant spiders invade Australian Outback town
