Don’t you hate that..

It’s one thing to have to help people around the office with their PC issues, it’s quite another when it’s your PC having the problems. My news aggregator of choice is having some technical difficulties. Something in one of the feeds I’m subscribed to is making it crash on opening and the only fix is to delete all the content, import back in my OPML file, and renew all the news items, which of course makes everything appear new and unread! As if that wasn’t bad enough, it seems to then go back to crashing if I shut it down after I get all the feed items again.

This is no way to read tech news…

    So here’s a quick hazard of having too many geek toys. In process of making sitewide changes this weekend, I managed to screw up the HTML in two of the static pages. Turns out that while I used the laptop to check the validation of all of those pages, and corrected as necessary, I managed…

    Looks like we got a few copies of the W32.Gibe virus floating in last night. All of the attachments were stripped at the email gateway (Our ISP finally did something right!), but I was impressed with this one. It seems like most of the attachments disguised as something else have stuff in the email that…

  • Fax Laws

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Interesting article on the latest twist in the fax laws. I’m pretty torn about this issue. As the IT person for a small business I can tell you that trying to prepare for the day when we can’t fax anyone without their written permission has been burdensome, to the point where we probably won’t do…
