Speaking of laptops

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have any extras, and I would give them the adapter to my personal laptop but it’s a different manufacturer and doesn’t work with it.)We’ve got a call in to the place where it was used last to see if it was left behind. Let’s hope they find it and ship it back. Not that anything can help those people who wanted to use it today. They’ll just have to do without.

    You know what would rock? If all those people who get bent out of shape if I take more than 5 minutes to respond to their problems could manage to do something that I ask them to within, say, a week! Alas, it appears that is not going to be the case, so my question…

  • Why filters suck

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I couldn’t get to my own child abuse site at the airport the other day. I’m sure they use some sort of filtering software, and I’m sure that it’s the same filtering software used by various schools and libraries. So, while it not being available from the airport is only a minor inconvenience, a kid…

    I guess I’m going to have to go and get mean on a couple of users this afternoon. One of them needs to be reminded that it’s not appropriate to leave their PC logged into the network when they leave for lunch and someone else is going to be filling in at their desk, the…

    With everything that needs to go on today, should I consider it a bad omen that while I was in a co-worker’s office working on a printer, part of the ceiling fell down? Granted it happend all the way across the office from where either of us were, but it was still odd. We both…
