Still unreachable

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This morning the site is still unreachable but I thought I’d go ahead and post the latest news items, so you all have something to read when it does come back. (And yes, a move that requires going on 30 hours now is totally unacceptable, not a good start for this new company!)

New Version of Zone Alarm Pro seems to really add on some cool functionality. I won’t be paying for the Pro version, since I have the router/firewall combo running at home now, but I’d be interested to know how good it really is.

Doc Searls is pointing us all to Metafilter today for more reading about CARP, and how the fees that need to be paid for streaming audio is going to put most stations out of the webcasting business. Then you won’t be able to hear anything other than the normal crap radio stations so you won’t be exposed to new music and you won’t buy any CD’s. Somewhere that makes sense to the recording industry. Go figure!

In personal news, I found out last night that I’m going to be an uncle, again! My brother, Bryan, and his wife are expecting their second child in November!

Here’s hoping I’m back online sometime before the baby’s born! Grrr!

    But since our ISP did their “upgrade” last week, we’ve had a connection outage of anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour every day. Twice, so far, today! Somehow, I think maybe they missed on the “increased stability” they were going for, don’t you? Gee I’m in an awfully complaint-centered mood today, aren’t I?…

    I only have today and tomorrow to get any and all work done for the rest of the month, since I’ll be gone. I’m working hard on getting everything caught up. I’m checking and double checking all the logs and machines for signs of impending trouble that I can correct now, instead of waiting for…

  • More on copyright

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Brian, in the comments on the last post, decries the fact that we are giving individual rights to corporations. He may have a point in that, but I want to clarify where I stand on the copyright issue. I do believe in copyrights, and I do believe that even corporations that create artistic works, or…

    Yesterday was time for my annual review. One of the topics up for discussion was that this year the entire organization is going to be asked to come up with disaster recovery strategies. Now as far as our data goes, I’ve had a disaster recovery plan in place for a number of years, although it’s…
