Saturday ramblings

Darran Evans was kind enough to take a moment and tell me about a site he works on called Help With PC’s. Looks like a pretty useful site, I added it to the permanent list of PC help resources. It reminded me that there a lot of clean up that needs to go on with those pages. Add it to the list!

While out running around, after my haircut, I picked up the latest Midnight Oil cd. I learned earlier in the week about it, and their impending US tour this spring. Ticketmaster lists them as being at Bogart’s in Cincinnati May 21. I’m planning on making that trip. I’ve been a fan since 1983, and though they’ve had little recent US sucess, I know they are still one the biggest bands in Australia. They are amazing live, as well. (And yes, part of me hated giving the record company any money, but at least I made sure it wasn’t one of those damn copy-protected cd’s!)

Jevon, in response to your post, you are free to disagree. That’s cool. I can’t go into a lot of detail about the reasoning that is actually going on behind the scenes, but I wanted to walk away so that I don’t become the issue, getting things fixed becomes the issue. I don’t have a big enough ego to want to make it about myself and my site when it’s about their customers getting their service back.

Speaking of Jevon, he’s opened up Blogtrack 2.0 beta to everyone who has a current Blogtrack account. I’ve been beta-testing for him and, while it won’t blow you away, I don’t think, it’s definitely got some nice little features that will have you saying “Oh yeah that is a good idea” as you get into it.

Is it just me, or are entirely too many people spending entirely too much time obsessing about Chris Pirillo’s life, wife and business? Get a hobby, go outside, read a book, listen to some good music, move on already! I can hardly stand to read Chris or Gretchen’s blog’s anymore!

    Thanks to Josh’s reminder, I went back and followed the directions Kevin had pointed to about making MT’s RSS feeds validate and include the whole entry. Now the feeds from the new site should be full-content feeds. Eventually maybe I’ll add the comments link to the feed as well, we’ll just see how things go…

  • Lack of communication

    We didn’t get back from the in-laws until late yesterday evening. With all the wedding stuff and all the various family members to visit with (They are a big, Southern family, there’s a bunch of them, and they all love to tell stories!!) I never even fired up the laptop all weekend. In fact, I…

  • Outlook Personal Folder backup tool

    Now this might be an interesting thing to install on PC’s here at the office. Not because there aren’t already super-simple ways to backup your personal folders, (just close Outlook and copy your .pst folder to the network on a regular basis, for example..) but because I can set it to remind people to backup…

  • The new media

    Since it’s right down the street, and it’s a center of some rather large media activity today, I took our digital camera over to the Statehouse at lunch to try and get some better pictures than we were able to get last night during the rain. (Don’t worry, unless Angela wants to blog these, I…

  • Moving on

    I should have blogged about this earlier, I suppose. But, frankly, I was still a little surprised by the whole thing and just not ready to tell anyone. I think, now that I’ve had some time to digest the entirety of what has happened, I’m ready to tell you all what’s been going on. My…
