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!

    After over 3500 miles in eight days last week, my car picked today on the 2 mile drive home from work to start having issues. The “check engine” light popped on. I’m sure it’s probably nothing, but the timing of it right after the long trip makes me worry just a little. It’s still under…

    You know they shouldn’t give very bad worms names that make me think of Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome. It sort of ruins the seriousness of it, doesn’t it? (And yes that movie reference probably ages me more than I care to admit!) That being said, I’ve seen no evidence of it in our office, which is…

    It seems that this attempt at upgrading to Movable Type version 3.32 over at the child abuse site seems to have worked. I posted an entry and a test comment without running into the Pre-Save error I was getting the last time I tried to upgrade. I think uploading the whole package instead of trying…

    First off, the ICQ account is back under my control, thanks to the good people at ICQ for getting that taken care of. That saves me from having to sign up for a new one and making everyone who knows the current one switch. Secondly, I downloaded the new version of Amphetadesk and while it…
