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!

    OK I found a sort of bummer thing about my idea to play around with Knoppix. While I can access all the files on my C drive even when I’m booted into Knoppix instead of Windows, I can’t edit any of my MS Office files in OpenOffice. They open as read-only, and when I try…

    Lots of discussion about this post from yesterday going on around various places. Notably Geek News Central and Joy. To follow up Joy’s point, she’s right. I’m not going to sit here and tell you one version of software is better hands down, because it’s all relative. MS stuff is better for me in my…

    Erik Noble wonders if I really hate my job, and if so, why I’m still here. He is correct in his assumption that the reasons I’m still here are financial. I’m getting close to having been here 5 years, and those of you with pensions funds know what 5 years means. Fully vested! So there’s…

    After the long day of technology yesterday, (a full work day followed by a demo of the new Friends website to the Board of Trustees, followed by hours rolling back the Movable Type upgrade gone bad) I was going to work tonight on a problem that I noticed the other day. For some reason, after…
