Yet Another Newsletter LOL: The CSS database connection
It’s been a draining month for me. Nothing bad, just lots going on. I am looking forward to two weeks off though in a couple of weeks. Anyway…
Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!

- talk about them positively in meetings they aren’t in
Shameless plugs
