With both paid and free versions, Site24×7.com looks to be a great web site monitoring package. They do monitoring of uptime and performance of your web sites, online services and servers. They also promise to deliver instant alerts the moment something goes wrong.
You can set the monitoring tools to check the web site in question you wish to monitor in intervals ranging from 5 to 60 minutes or above.
If the worst might happen, and you need to be told, here are the various ways they can alert you to trouble:
For those of you just wanting to beta test the service; when you first sign up, you are given a fully functional, 15-day trial account. At the end of 15 days, your account will be downgraded to free unless you upgrade to either Standard or Premium account.
Check out the screenshots, then give them a shot at Site24×7.com.

FeedMyInbox is a new service that recently caught my eye, due to the fact they make things very simple. They are offering you blogs, feeds and news delivered magically to your e-mail inbox. All you have to do is visit the web site and enter a web site RSS feed and your e-mail address.
Here is how FeedMyInbox explain the process:
Once you find a feed you would like to subscribe to, simply type in the web address (URL) for the site on FeedMyInbox.com. We will find the feed(s) available on the page, and you can select what you want to subscribe to. Once you subscribe to a feed, we will send an email to the address you specified. Simply click the link that is enclosed to confirm that your email address is correct, and you are all set!
It is an interesting service, to say the least.
Of course, if you want to get my feed in your inbox, that is easy enough to do without this service. Just click this link to subscribe to e-mail updates, so you never miss a post.

Here are some of the few Thunderbird goodies worthy of being shared.

Scrolling down a really long e-mail trying to sort where one message ends and another one starts can be a pain. Thank goodness though for this Thunderbird tip that will add different colors depending on the level of the quote you are at.
Just copy and paste this to your userContent.css file for Thunderbird:
/* Quote Levels Colors */
blockquote[type=cite] { color: navy !important; background-color: RGB(245,245,245) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote { color: maroon !important; background-color: RGB(235,235,235) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote { color: green !important; background-color: RGB(225,225,225) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote { color: purple !important; background-color: RGB(215,215,215) !important;
}
blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote { color: teal !important; background-color: RGB(205,205,205) !important;
}
There are a handful of other Thunderbird config tips and tweaks you might want to check out from Mozilla’s site too. This is the best one in my opinion though.

Continuing the e-mail trend from yesterday, today I thought I would share some of my favorite Firefox add-ons and themes. Listing the add-ons I use with Thunderbird is an easy task. Why? Well… there are only two of them.
Quicktext - Keep a list of pre-written messages to use in your e-mails. It also accepts variables so personalizing a static message with information you have in hand is easy to do.
Minimize to Tray - This extension minimizes Thunderbird to the system tray on the task bar. This way I can keep Thunderbird running without it getting in the way when I don’t need it.
There are only a handful of themes really worth checking out too. Here are a few of my favorite themes for Thunderbird:
Azerty ‘mail - Brighter and unique icons, but still keeps the same look and feel.
Charamel - A tan colored Thunderbird theme that is awesome, except for a few little things here and there that keep me from using it 24/7.
Silvermel - A silver port of Charamel, same look (and bugs) - just a different color.
The rest of the popular themes out there all look like Apple/Mac clones (insert yawn here), and do we really need more than one of those? I think not. Really wish DeviantArt had some better ones too, but they seem to be a little lacking with the Thunderbird skin section.
