Supercharging Slickdeals
March 3, 2015 10:46 am
I’ve been using Slickdeals.net to discover good deals on things for several years now. Today I thought it’d be really helpful to be able to hide deals from companies that I don’t ever buy things from (like Tigerdirect and eBay). A quick Google search turned up nothing, but playing around with Slickdeals revealed just such an option.
Open the Frontpage preferences by clicking the little gear icon at the top-right:
Doing so reveals the Preferences panel which allows you to adjust Category Preferences (on the left) and Store Preferences (on the right).
The Store Preferences allows you to type in a store name and it will provide suggestions for matching companies. Select the match and it will appear with a dislike/neutral/like slider you can adjust.
Any category or company set to “dislike” is hidden. Any category/company set to “like” will result in more deals matching that category/company being shown to you.
This makes Slickdeals even more useful since I can stop seeing stuff from companies and categories I don’t care about and instead see more stuff I might actually be interested in.
Family Pictures

Heather drew pictures of each of us today. I find it fascinating that all children go through a phase where people are just heads with appendages. But look at those faces! Eyebrows! And the possibly intentional size difference between Heather and us!
If you look really closely at Heather, next to her right hand is a little dot. She added that so that she wouldn’t be lonely. She’s been spending a fair bit of time on measures to not be lonely lately. I think she’s feeling a little neglected with all the turmoil happening in the house over the last couple weeks as we try to get everything rearranged and ready for the baby. Hopefully we’ll have time to give her some attention before her world gets turned completely upside down.

Consistency!

Along with rewiring the house (and re-arranging furniture to put Heather in what is currently the office) I wanted to get all the switches, outlets, wall plates, etc. in the house to a common style.
When we moved in there were white and beige items with varying styles of outlets, outlet covers, rocker switches, and toggle switches. Now (except for the garage) all of the switches and outlets are a consistent style (rocker switches) and color (white).
Had to replace 4 bags worth of stuff:
But now we have these:
Hooray!
