New Cable Modem

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Sorry for the delay, lost ftp connection to the site again for a day. It was supposed to be because they were moving it to a new server, but I still can’t get the file permissions changed, which was why they were moving it to begin with. Who knows?

We did get a new cable modem, the other one was bad, imagine that. After all the hassle with tech support in getting them to send someone out, it’s sort of ironic that the guy took one look at it and said “modem’s bad, let me swap that”. It hooked up to my PC right away and I was online. Being a good husband, instead of playing with the connection, I unplugged it and setup the router to share the connection with my wife. After some fits and glitches, mostly caused by obvious things that I overlooked, (isn’t that always the way?) we were running a shared secure connection through the Hawking PN9245F. Whew!

Now I want to see if I can play with the VPN capabilities, but we’ll see when I have time for that.

Shooting at the Beach

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

A couple of observations about shooting at the beach over the Christmas weekend: 1. Off-season is a great time to photograph a beach. It is much easier to get landscape and seabird shots when they are only a handful of people within sight of you along the beach. 2. On the other hand, the lack…

Quick Thought – The Scourge of Back-to-Back Meetings

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Don’t get me wrong. I would have still spent some time reviewing the document before the meeting, making notes, and mapping out plans after the other meeting. But because these were not in the middle of back-to-back meetings, I could do them and keep the flow through the process. I wasn’t filing it away in my brain and hoping I could fully recall it later. It was fresh.

It was better.

Life Update

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

With everything being brand new it’s been a little tough to develop any routine, let alone one that includes posting to the blog on a regular basis. After one week at the new job, I’m just starting to develop a bit of a routine there, but outside of work, life is really a work in…
