Interruptions..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Not making the progress I want to so far. Had a few interruptions, and I’m expecting a few more, unfortunately. One of those “Mike can you tell us ‘XYZ’ from this data even though we never bothered to track the data that would actually tell you “XYZ” from the start of the project and have no idea how to get it now?” sort of things. That, of course, will lead to senior level discussions about why I can’t “fix” the problem, even though the problem was created by design, a design which I was never even approached about until now. In fact, it’s a design change that I have, in the past, tried to get people to implement ahead of time so we don’t have this same “problem” every year. Nice…

    We spent the weekend with Angela’s parents in Findlay. They’ve only recently moved up there, and this was the first time I’ve been up there with my laptop to use their nice wireless connection that my brother-in-law set-up for them.

  • Wake up calls

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Can I just say that 4AM tornado siren wake-up calls are not my idea of a good time? And that 4AM wake-ups on a morning when I have a meeting scheduled first thing in the morning, (Like before I can get a couple of cups of coffee in me) are bad. And that 4AM wake-up…

  • IE Tab in Firefox

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Picked up this story at Download Squad the other day, about a Firefox Extension that will run an Internet Explorer engine inside one of your Firefox tabs.

  • Dell recall

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    So how many of the laptops you support have had their batteries recalled? We have 12 pool laptops and it looks like 6 of them will need to be replaced. Dell’s site reported that it would take about 2 weeks to get the replacements, but I imagine it might really take loner given the size…

  • Monday, Monday.

    Stephen Gielda has a nice little article about internal system security, and stresses how the weakest link in network security is inside your office, not outside. Monday for me has been rather uneventful. Staff Meeting this morning didn’t even ruin my mood for the day like it has consistently the last few times we’ve had…
