In other blogs…

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.

I’m trying to get some database work done, but I’ve had too many interruptions between quick user questions and vendor phone calls. I think I’ve started over on this three times now, and it’s not necessarily anything difficult, it’s just hard to…

  • Power outage

    Seems our work ISP is having a power outage at their office, so there may not be much of me on the internet until later. I’m using my laptop and personal dial-up to craft this entry but I can’t use this for much and get work done on my other machines at the same time….

  • Time and effort

    It’s been a little while so I had forgotten how much time and effort can go into a job search, especially when you expand it beyond your immediate geographic area. Last night, after working all day, I had dinner and spent a little time with Angela, then sat down to review some of the help…

  • Documentation

    Kevin stumbled on one of the more frustrating “rookie mistakes” that we all make from time to time. Not documenting stuff! I’ve stumbled on this one myself a few times recently, mistakenly thinking that a problem was a one-time thing and not writing down, and sharing with the other tech support folks, exactly what I…
