April Fool’s

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

After reading about how AOL bought out the rights to a bunch of popular bloggers today, I realize that there is absolutely nothing I can put up here that anyone is likely to take seriously. (Of course, how seriously do you take me any other day? *L*) While I prefer to think of this day as something else, (April 1, 2000 was the first date that Angela and I went on. We saw Hi-Fidelity and had dinner at Applebee’s, and naturally, ran into a co-worker when we were trying to keep our office romance a secret.) to most of the world it is the day to not believe a word anyone says! So given that, let me just say that I did get the blog associated with my child abuse site moved over to this server and all the links updated to point to it here from there. It’s not a regular part of this site, but it does need some work, so I may be focusing on that until this April Fool’s craziness is over!

    Thanks to everyone who either left a comment or posted on their own blog their congrats for passing the A+ exams. It may not seem like such a big deal to some of the ubergeeks out there who passed theirs years ago, but it was an important first step in spiffing up my resume and…

    I’m reimaging a machine this morning. This one proved to be a little tricky as the hosed OS was masking an actual hardware failure. So while I knew I could fix the blue screens with a nice, clean reinstall, I couldn’t even start the reinstall until I identified that the RAM was bad. A quick…

    This looks interesting: We’re calling it Dabble, with emphasis on the Db: it’s a database system for dabblers. We’d naturally be happy if professional developers, DBAs, and business analysts find our system useful, but we won’t be satisfied until we have something that works for everyone in the millions of small businesses and teams for…

  • Do all ISP’s suck?

    Dave is complaining about Verizon. The “install” of the DSL service branded his browser, changed his homepage and changed all the email server settings. Yeah, Roadrunner’s “install” did the same thing, when all it really needed was the gateway IP and DNS servers. In fact, once I got my router pointed at the correct gateway,…

    According to the last edition of the LangaList, Agnitum has a free firewall out, and a release candidate for the Pro version of Outpost . A quick look at it makes it seem pretty cool, maybe an alternative to Zone Alarm. But it looks like the pay version will be way better than the free…
