Why I Love Selling Out
I just got paid by PayPerPost. That puts my PayPal account over the amount I need to get a nugget of Mac shareware I’ve been looking at. I don’t know which I want most right now. It’s a three-way tie between CSSEdit, MarsEdit, and Acquisition.
Clearly, I wish I could get cool software for nothing, but it’s only fair to pay developers who have spent hours and hours writing this software. I’ve tried all three and they all work as they should, look good, and are all necessary for things I do online. If I get CSSEdit, though, I’ll have no excuses left and will have to make a new stylesheet for this blog. Right now, the right sidebar is a floater and makes the page look funny if you’re reading a permalink entry for a post that isn’t very long. That’s the only real flaw (in good browsers, losers who use IE need not apply) but it’s looking a little old to me, though.
It’s because I on occasion get paid to blog that I can get these nuggets of code. I’d have a hard time justifying more purchases without it. Thanks, PayPerPost. I have a gripe, though. So many of the opportunities are so *stupid* and the good ones “sell out” before I can get to them. I don’t work in front of a computer. Toss me a bone every once in a while.
