Misc. ramblings

Good morning! I spent a good chunk of last night setting up the comments for my Brother-in-Law’s wedding site. It wasn’t terribly difficult and my wife appreciated it, which makes the effort worthwhile, in my book. :).

Someone at work found a dead bat laying on the top of a box of invoices in our storage area. I’m guessing he flew in the air conditioning vents on the roof and found his way down to the shelving units. She wanted me to deal with it, but I drew the line at adding “Animal Control” to my many job hats!

So the wife and I are going to Boston later this month for a long weekend. We’ll be staying downtown. I’ve never been to Boston before, are there any “do not miss” things I should see? We’re planning a trip out to Harvard, and most of the downtown stuff (Fanieul Hall, the Commons, Trinity Church, etc.). I’m torn on bringing the laptop to blog the whole trip. We’ll definitely have the digital camera, but I’m not sure I want the hassle of flying with the laptop. Bringing it means I have to check my bag instead of carrying it on, which adds quite a bit of airport hassle to the trip. But not bringing it means no updates, no checking in on the Forum system, and a missed opportunity to share the trip with readers as it’s happening, as opposed to when we get back. The choice is so much easier when it comes to road trips!

Speaking of road trips, the wife is blogging about Roadfood.com. I am so ready for a long road trip! I need to get cracking on finalizing Gnomedex plans, but I may not be able to wait until August!

  • Monday Morning Quarterback

    I hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was decent, I really lacked any inspiration or motivation to work with website stuff this weekend, that’s why there’s was so little blogging. Get used to it, I’m going laptop free to Boston next weekend, so there’s a 99% chance that there will be no updates…

  • Method to the ESBN Madness

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful. I’ve seen folks complain about the fact that their full-post RSS feeds are repurposed on sites that exist only to serve Google Ads….

    It’s 2007 already?

    Wow, another year has come and gone. Amazing. All in all, even though the end of 2006 kind of snuck up on me quickly, it was a very good year. In many ways, even though I actually changed jobs in 2005, 2006 was more of a transitive year in terms of my life on-line. This…

    Microsoft Teams Collaborative Meeting Notes

    Recently, Microsoft released a preview feature, making meeting notes collaborative using MS Loop. As part of the M365 newsletter subscription I offered a deep dive into the eDiscovery implications of the tool and how it works, but there was more I wanted to say about the functionality of it outside of that. Hence, I’m writing a blog post about how I looked at these notes as a trainer and leader as opposed to how I looked at them as an eDiscovery professional.
