Wake up calls

Can I just say that 4AM tornado siren wake-up calls are not my idea of a good time? And that 4AM wake-ups on a morning when I have a meeting scheduled first thing in the morning, (Like before I can get a couple of cups of coffee in me) are bad. And that 4AM wake-up calls on a day with a meeting first thing in the morning, and social plans right after work, the day before we leave to visit the in-laws, which I also need to pack for tonight, are just plain brutal!

In other news:

I think Doc got taken in by this ESP trick. Go do the test and then come back, I’ll wait…

OK did it work? I bet it did, and I also know why it did. Go do it again, bet it works again, in fact, I bet it works every time. Now go back and compare the first group of cards very carefully to the second. Notice anything? Like the second group are all cards that were never in the first group? Of course your card is gone, they’re all gone!

I’ve been saying this for a long time now. The best way to protect kids online is not filtering and telling yourself that therefore your kids won’t even know the bad stuff is there. The best way is teaching them to deal with it when they run into it!

While I don’t use Microsoft’s Systems Management Server, giving it the ability to manage non-Windows devices is a good idea.

And, finally, here’s wishing a happy 47th birthday to Dave Winer

    We’re down visiting the in-laws today and I’ve spent a few hours fixing their PC and cleaning it up some. They got caught with virus definitions that fell ever so slightly behind the speed of new malware showing up and wound up with a pretty nasty trojan that killed their Internet access, disabled their AV,…

    Awhile back, I linked to the Power of Together thing that Microsoft was doing, where you could get a free copy of Office 2007 and/or Vista in exchange for watching some videos and web demo’s. I got my Product Key for Office 2007 in the mail today, so naturally I was off to download it….

  • The Hive

    I originally applied for membership in the Hive back in June, just out of curiousity. I got an email sying that I didn’t qualify, which I didn’t really understand, but since they were looking mostly for folks who ran community-type sites I figured that even though I thought this site qualified, didn’t mean that everyone…
