YNAB? Why not?

Just a quick little post here folks.  I’ve been using a handy (and affordable) budgeting tool called You Need a Budget (aka YNAB).  You can think of it as an electronic version of the “envelope” method of budgeting (put money in the envelope at the start of the month, stop spending in that category when the envelope is empty), plus a nice register for keeping on top of your various accounts.

You can a try it out for free, and as an added piece of interest, they’re getting set to release version 3 (preview)  here in the near future.  If you’re in search of a budgeting tool, I’d say you should check this one out – you’ve got nothing to lose, other than your debt!

More jiggahertz!

Ahhh… nothing like the simple (geeky) pleasure of jumping up from 1 GB of RAM to 3 GB.  Now to get some gaming in to, uh, stress-test it.  Yeah, that’s the ticket, stress-testing!

Of note, I’ve read some predictions that say RAM prices are going to be rising in ‘09.  So, if you’re on the fence, go poke around Newegg, discover how cheap memory is at the moment, and fill up those slots before prices jump up.
