How not to start off a long weekend

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Well I just discovered that my ICQ account has been hacked and I can no longer access it. So for the time being, ignore the ICQ information, and don’t try to contact me there.

On top of that, my return to work on Weds. is going to be met by yet another replacement hard drive to swap out. Given the location of the three offices that this has happened to, and the relative humidity of that area of the building, I’m working on getting our building management people to seriously do something about that. I was sweating just sitting in that office today. I don’t sweat in my office, even with the heat being generated by the server.

We’re off right after work today and while I had hoped to be doing some blogging over the next 4 days, the internet connection situation is up in the air once we reach Gatlinburg. So if I don’t have a net connection, I’ll fill you all in on Weds. or so.

In the meantime, you’re welcome to use the comments and the fourms to continue your discussions!

    Linked: How’d they do it without you?

    Seth’s point here is one many workers would do well to remember:

    “It’s easy to use our indispensability as fuel. Fuel to speak up and contribute. That’s important. But it’s also possible for that same instinct to backfire, and for us to believe that if we don’t do it, it won’t get done right.

    That’s unlikely.”

  • Legal matters..

    Since today is a big day, as far as Supreme Court decisions coming out, it’s only fitting that I hit a couple of legal questions. First, the Supremes did rule that libraries can be forced to use internet filters. Now, personally, I hoped for something better, but thought this would come out this way. (Of…

    Coming Tweetdeck App Update

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve been saying for quite some time now that I couldn’t understand why some features of the desktop version of Tweetdeck weren’t being added to the iPhone app. (Mostly global filters.) Apparently, there was a reason for that. Tweetdeck was completely rewriting the iOS application. As much as I’m looking forward to seeing this new…

    So I took a look at Robert Scoble’s entries from last night and he says some interesting things. Of course he sounds exactly like you would expect a guy in NEC Sales to sound, which makes you wonder if he’s being honest or just a corporate shill, I’ve met Robert and I think he’s probably…
