Weekends

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I probably won’t be posting much the next couple of days. The in-laws are coming up for a visit, which is cool. I actually get along pretty well with them. With it being a 3-day weekend I’m still hoping to get some geek stuff done for myself on Monday. Mostly I need to get the laptop hooked into the home network and get some software updates. I haven’t been traveling so it hasn’t been needed, and it’s fallen behind. Not that I’m planning any traveling in the near future, but you never know when the ‘net connection is going to crap out at work again, so having an up-to-date laptop is never a bad emergency plan.

    Our graphics person sent me a picture today, and I noticed that it was a .gif, and since I knew this came from a digital camera that defaulted to .jpg I wondered why he went to all the trouble of changing that. His reply was that the company that hosts our website told him to…

  • It amazes me

    Yes, it amazes me that I can tell people over and over again that when they bring in new staff I need to know in advance because setting up network logons, permissions, and working with our ISP to get their email account setup takes time, yet I still manage to learn about new staff by…

  • One of those days

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I had hoped the short week due to Thanksgiving would be a relatively quiet one, but today definitely did not fit into that plan. One of our servers crashed early this morning, creating all kinds of havoc around the helpdesk, and the day pretty much went downhill from there. It was one of those days…

  • Is it Friday yet?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Is it just me, or is this week dragging by at a snail’s pace for everyone? Found an incredibly cool Amphetadesk outline skin this morning that changes the default template to an outline-type document. It really incorporates a few of the things I was looking for in the way of improvements, you should check it…
