What I missed while I was gone:

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Well first of all, you missed a great show last night, unless you were there. 🙂 Midnight Oil still rocks with the best of them, I have never seen a band (and I’ve seen a lot of bands!) play with that much passion and intensity. They still play that way, 25 years after their first album came out. Amazing.

Thanks to Geek, and others, I found out the CARP recommendations were rejected by the Library of Congress. Excellent!

nf0 points us to yet another news aggregator, Aggie. I can’t add this one to the comparison article because it requires .Net framework, which I do not have. (I still use 98 at home and 2000 on my laptop..) Anyone want to volunteer to test it and report back?

Well, after the late night last night, I scheduled today for an off day, so I’m at home, doing some writing for my other site. It’s a nice break, and it’s very nice to find some time to do some real soul-searching in my writing. I don’t spend enough time with that. You can read my review of not only the show last night, but my personal feelings about being back in Bogart’s 13 years after the first trip there to see Midnight Oil and the rambling personal thoughts that late-night road trips can bring up here.

    A couple of year’s ago I checked out the Open Office suite in an attempt to see if it would work for everyday use. The big draw back at that time, and still today, was the lack of a database component comparable to Access. I use Access a lot in my job, since it’s part…

    I’m not sure how to prove this mathematiclly, but I’m working today on a theory, let’s call it the Outraged at Outages theory. You see, our office internet connection has been down a good part of the day, seems there might have been a problem that the phone company created, and so, it may be…

    Jeff makes an interesting point regarding writing a weblog anonymously or not. It’s something I’ve been struggling with as the new year approaches and I look at the prospect of a job search. Is the fact that you can easily find my weblog by searching by my name a good thing or not a good…

    Oh, want to know what I learned today? When you remotely install Symantec’s Corporate edition AV product, make sure the user either has Outlook closed when you do it, or restarts Outlook immediately after you do it. The Outlook add-in does some things that make certain features of Outlook go pretty bonkers. Nothing a quick…

    Maybe not for you, but it is for me. One of my favorite bands of all time is calling it quits. Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett has decided to call it a career and “take up challenges outside of music”. Ironically enough for a band that struggled to get the recognition they deserve outside…
