Must have coffee…

Yeah, I know, I made a typing error and breakfast in bed turned into breakfast in BAD. I wasn’t trying to insinuate that there was anything but breakfast, I just have this typing/spelling problem. Usually I rely on a good spell check, but, obviously, bad didn’t turn up as a bad spelling so I missed it! Thanks for pointing it out, Anita.

Seems like everyone who is blogging from SXSW is having a great time. Made me really jealous while I was sitting in a staff meeting this morning. 😉

Fred Langa’s latest newsletter has a story on a new bit of scumware that leaves desktop shortcuts and favorite folders to such wonderful things as adult sites, and gambling sites. I can see it now, you share your PC with your wife you visit the site in question that runs the script, and then your wife wants to know why you have adult sites saved as favorites all of the sudden! That’ll be a fun conversation! So you might want to make sure your browser’s set to ask before running scripts, eh?

Geocities is introducing new paid hosting plans. The interesting thing here is that even with the most expensive plan all you get is PHP support, nothing for Perl, ASP, FrontPage extensions, etc. At $19.95 a month and that’s all I get is PHP support? Are you kidding me?

Court Shuts Down ‘.usa’ Internet Address Scam – I missed this one, but then again, I don’t even look at spam anymore so I probably did get it and delete it without even taking notice of it. I am surprised it fooled that many people, I mean if you follow the internet at all you should know .usa and .brit aren’t valid TLD’s, but I guess not everyone pays that much attention

    What’s going on today, all of our connections to the internet have been rather flaky, both through the cable modem and dial-up with a different ISP? Some sites I can’t get to at all, others are SLOW, and others I can access some parts one time, other parts another time. Maybe the strong winds outside…

    The first bit of Office that I looked at was Outlook 2003. I spent a good portion of late Saturday night/Sunday morning learning about the differences and features. It took a little while to adjust to the 3 panes-across layout as opposed to the 1 pane on the left, two panes over top of each…

    Yes, I put the Web Hosting forum back in the forums section over my lunch today. So all the past history of the THC mess is, once again, visible to everyone. By the way, I’d also like to talk about other hosting companies, and hosting basics in there as well, so feel free to post…

    Some things to ponder over the weekend: Umm where are you priorities? this story of a man who grilled a kitten has hit the Daypop Top 40, with all of appropriate condemnations, including a letter-writing campaign. That’s all fine, but if that’s blogworthy, where are you people on the abduction, rape, and murder of a…

    There’s an inherent flaw in using Google’s “pages like this” function. Some blogs can appear to be alike one day because they both discuss a certain topic, but may generally have very little to do with one another. This is especially true when you get a group of people talking about going to Gnomedex, because…

    One of the things our current pandemic situation has created is a lot more understanding of just how well much of our work can get done away from the office. Those of us who are continuing to work while our office locations are off-limits have, for the most part, figured out how to continue getting…
