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!

    Askimet Problems?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Is anyone else seeing a handful of obvious spam comments get through Askimet on their WordPress blogs? Seems like every morning, I find myself deleting 5-6 comments that hit the blog overnight, with obvious spam links, that Askimet allowed to post. I hadn’t really had any difficulty like that in a long, long time, so…

    Moving on from commenting problems, because, frankly, I’m a little sick of looking at them. 🙂 Lots of work stuff to do today, probably light blogging. We’re getting close to our event, we have a walk through at the theater this afternoon, I need to pay extra special attention to where the electrical outlets are…

  • Email problem

    I know of at least one email that was sent to this domain last night and has yet to show up in my inbox, so there may have been others. If you emailed me last night, you might want to try again! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Yeah I had to take the referrer script down again. At least now I know why the results keep stretching the table width to ridiculous proportions. If a website does not specify a page name, the script prints out the entire URL. Since there’s no space in the URL the table doesn’t try to wrap…

  • Blocking popups

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I installed the new Google Toolbar yesterday on my work machine. I have made a somewhat half-hearted attempt to use IE a bit more than usual, but not a whole lot more since then, just to see how many popups it blocks. As of 1:30 this afternoon the count is 42. So I wonder, exactly…
