How to aggravate hundreds in one easy step:

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s easy, just take any three day weeekend, like this one, and leave an “out of office” auto-reply on your account, and please, oh please, misconfigure it so that it replies to every message on a mailing list. (Including it’s own messages of course, so that you just run a continous loop!) Nice job!

I got all the laptop updates taken care of yesterday, new versions of Trillian, the latest update to Zone Alarm, the cumulative patch for Internet Explorer, as well as getting all the settings correct to access stuff over my home network. I love my cable modem, this took hardly any time at all, while over a dialup this would have been hours of downloading.

Blogger Pro has been having some difficulties lately. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they’re just temporary growing pains. In fact, I’m not sure when this post will publish, grr. (Naturally it did publish just a few minutes after I typed that. *L*)

    Yeah we’re home again after spending the long weekend visiting the in-laws. We had a good time, spent some time relaxing, watched some college football, did some shopping and ate a lot!

Today’s the day that The Library of Congress is set to decide Internet Radio royalty rates. Let’s hope…

    I saw earlier this week that a couple of my favorite podcasts had created listener email discussion lists, so I’m all signed up to be part of the group for both Geek News Central and In the Trenches. I’m curious to see how the email lists work out and whether a community of listeners develops…
