Reading today’s LangaList. I’m tempted to give OpenOffice a try as an MS Office replacement, except for one thing. The apps I use the most at work is Outlook, which I could find a replacement for I’m sure, but I use Access with my site and at work all the time. OpenOffice doesn’t come with a database program like that and I know nothing about MySQL, as far as whether I’d be able to use that as a viable replacement. What do you MySQL users have to say about that? If I like OpenOffice enough would it be possible to lose Office completely and use MySQL or something else for my database needs?

Hmm another download for the weekend maybe? 🙂

    Looks like I’ll be doing some research on the latest batch of MS patches rolled out yesterday. Whee fun! OK so it’s not the most exciting part of my job, by far, but I’d rather read the technical details of these to see where we might be vulnerable than deal with the mess after someone…
