More Trillian

Version .0724 is out. I know I said I wasn’t going to keep updating the AIM connection battles, but it seems this version has some other bug fixes as well, so you might want to grab it. By the way they also have, in big bold red letters, a link to download the even newest AIM patch. That should get you connected to AIM for about a day or so..*L* (via NT Compatible)

Per an anonymous suggestion from the comments, I’m going to give StatcounteX a try for keeping website statistics. Hopefully that will be a weekend project this weekend, but I’ve got to get our taxes done first. That will be a chore, but my accounting background from way back when makes it a bearable chore, and they shouldn’t be too hard. (Famous last words, I know!)

Steve MacLaughlin points out that TiVo is keeping an eye on what you watch and how you watch it. It would be sad if your wife found out just how many times you replayed that Britney Spears commercial, wouldn’t it?

According to John Robb , WorldCom is cutting free coffee for it’s employees as a way to cut costs. Our CEO threatened to do that a few weeks ago, which is ok. I’ll just bring my own coffee-maker from home, and lock the door to my office, thereby making the coffee smell available to the rest of the staff, but the supply limited to only me. Or is that too evil?

Anyone else ever had to completely rearrange their schedule and potentially work over every night for two weeks because other offices are getting new carpet, and no one wants to take the responsibility to unhook computers, move them, wait for the carpeting to be put in, move them back and hook them back up? I guess those color coded cables are too confusing! But starting the 18th, that may be exactly what I’m doing. And I’m not even getting new carpet!

    Can I ask a question to those of you who work in IT? I need some honest opinions here. I’m thinking about archiving some stuff off our file server onto CD because I don’t, in all honesty, think we need it at all, but some people are reluctant to delete anything “just in case I…

    Looks like the details for Gnomedex this year will be revealed sometime today. I’m interested to see when and where it’s going to be held, but in all honesty I have no plans on attending this year. I have other fish to fry, so to speak. Update: Looks like they’ve changed the “check back on..”…

    Yeah so yesterday at ITEC was basically a waste. To say I was underwhelmed by the show would be understating the fact. We’ll see how today goes, but I’m not going to kill myself to get back for any of day 2 today. (Hey, it still beats sitting in my office..*L*) I’ve got a bunch…

  • One other experiment

    One other experiment I’ve had in mind recently is tied into something that’s not been working correctly anyway. I just sent this email to the folks who had been getting posts by email: As I’ve mentioned before, something seems to have gone terribly awrywith the topica list in terms of getting emails when I post…

    OK I was up until 4AM making sure everything here worked and writing the full article on the problems I had with That Hosting Company. It seems everything is ok with the exception of comments from Sunday and Monday. Sorry, those seem to be gone. Given that much work, I’m taking most of the rest…

  • Doppler

    Doppler 2.0 RC1 is out. I downloaded it this morning and checked for the bug that I had to work around in 1.1.1 involving using space savers by date, and sure enough it’s fixed. And that’s not even the best part about it. It also supports multi-threaded downloads, resume downloads, and comes with a light…
