Ugh, I hate that!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I hate it when there’s a conference room full of people, one of our folks is all ready to do a presentation using our website and suddenly, for no obvious reason, the network port in there just seems to die. Luckily I have a 100 foot Ethernet cable so I just ran the connection over to the next room and put them back in business, but at some point I’m going to have to figure out why that port stopped responding all of the sudden. Here’s hoping it a bad port on the switch, which I can route around, and not something “in the walls”, which gets a tad more complicated, especially since we don’t have those fake floors and ceilings. The cabling is, literally, in the walls!

    Noting this for myself for when I’m at my work machine tomorrow, and any other Greasemonkey users who might see a similar problem, the new update to Greasemonkey, version 0.3.3 seems to have broken at least one of the user scripts that I use (Gmail Smart Delete button). Check for updates to user scripts if…

    Saw this over at Mike Sanders blog today: “Three observations after reading current blog entries: 1) The logic and intelligence a person has in one area does not usually transfer to other domains. 2) Personal bias, not intellect or logic, is the number one determinant on the conclusion a person will reach. 3) Blogging is…

    Thanks to Andy for pointing to the list of Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 issues. I haven’t installed it on anything yet, so this’ll be a nice resource to have. BTW, I’m not neglecting my job, we don’t actually have anything running 2000 in the whole office. It’s either XP or NT here. I do,…
