In other blogs…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I haven’t had a lot of spare time to check out other blogs, until today that is. Here’s what I’ve been missing:

Paul Boutin on Flashtrack, some sort of popup ad spyware. What sort of idiots think this is a good way to get their message out? Piss off all of your potential customers, that’ll be good for business! Grr.

Robyn seems a little angry with Wil Wheaton. Can’t say that I don’t agree with her. It was a little stupid of Wil to ask for donations to take his wife out for Valentine’s, I didn’t ask for donations, but then again my wife’s birthday is in a few weeks…hmm. (j/k)

One of America’s best and brightest (sarcasm intended) accuses Chris Pirillo of being a terrorist.

Speaking of Gnomedex, they have announced the dates for this year, Aug 23-24. I’m hoping to be there again. I’m even thinking of driving this year and making a long vacation out of it. Let’s see, drive to Des Moines, go to Gnomedex, drive on to Colorado and see Steve and Emily and their new baby, detour up to Moorhead, MN to see Jen and Nathan and their new baby, come home. OK, it’s a bit of driving, but it’d be very cool to be able to pull all of that off, and blog the whole thing, complete with photos! Keep your fingers crossed!

Caterina discusses an article about self-esteem that would seem to disagree with popular theory. I like Caterina’s blog, it’s well-written, and it’s a nice change from the tech blogs I’m usually reading, but she needs permalinks! I can’t link to the post I’m talking about, but as of right this very second it’s the latest post.

    Finally a day without fires to put out, maybe I can get caught up on the tech happenings around the ‘net this week: Windows 2000 SP3 is available. As Josh says in his pointer to it, there’s not much info on exactly what it does, so I’ll be following my normal “wait and let someone…

  • Trackback Disabled

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I disabled trackbacks on the entire blog. I’m tired of dealing with the spam. Perhaps if Haloscan puts something together that makes some effort at blocking it I’ll think about it again, but for now, it’s too much work deleting the dozens of spam trackbacks every single day. While the trackbacks will still appear in…

    We’ve made it back from celebrating my Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law’s birthdays up in Sandusky, OH. Had a great time, thanks to Angela’s folks for taking us up there and showing us a good time! While I was gone, there’s been no word on the abuse site, although I do notice that it’s now coming up…

    Funny article today, Which Is Buggier – Windows or Linux?. Funny not because it reaches any real conclusions about the question, but funny in that the conclusion it does reach is “it depends”. It depends on what you’re using the PC for, who’s using it, what sort of environment you’re working in, and about a…

    I managed to live through teaching database class this morning. It could have gone better, but I guess I’ll live with it. I simply don’t do this sort of thing often enough to have the sort of grasp of the material and the personalities involved to make it much better than it was. Now, I’m…
