Nice weekend.

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I just had someone at work ask about my weekend and I had to admit that, for the most part, we didn’t really do much. But in reality that’s not true. I finished reading Gonzo Marketing, (which was very good, and really makes you think!) made some adjustments to the PCHelp page, went to work on seeing how I could incorporate a new logo that Angela came up with for me, burned some cd’s for our road-trip this coming weekend, went grocery shopping and even went out to pick up father’s day cards and a birthday card for my friend, Jen. So there was quite a bit of stuff done, just not anything worth having a conversation about, ya’ know?

Speaking of the new stuff on the PCHelp page, mostly what I did was go ahead and add a bunch of beginning Linux sites. I’ve been meaning to add these sites for some time, but kept thinking I’d wait until I created a separate page for them, but I never got around to getting enough info for it to be a separate page, so I just added a section to that page. Someday I’ll know enough about Linux to have a bunch of links categorized, but for now, these are good starters. The links I added are:

As far as the new logo goes, I’m keeping that under wraps for now. It’s a different size than the current logo that adorns all of the static pages, and it incorporates some text, so I’m going to have to make changes to all of them, and it will be a few weeks before I get around to that. I think it’s pretty cool though! 🙂 Update: At Jevon’s urging, I went ahead and changed the background and fonts to something that is somewhat similar to this page. That’s a simple change that I could do over lunch using Dreamweaver on my laptop. Inserting the logo on to those pages is going to be a bit more complicated.

    Speaking of Firefox, I’d like to invite some comments. What extensions for Firefox do you consider must-haves, and why? Right now my Firefox install has only 3 extensions. GoogleBar, because I got used to using a browser toolbar to access all of Google’s searches, so it’s become automatic for me to do my searching from…

    Is there room for calm in your meetings?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Mora’s advice is to slow down, pause after someone finishes speaking, take a breath before coming off mute, and slow your speech. 

    I think those are great ideas that I plan to spend a little more time on and bring to the meetings I host in order to bring calm to the whole team. But then I started thinking about the many meetings I take part in each week, and how few of them feel anything like that. They ooze anxiety, tension, and focus on “getting through” the agenda at lightning speed before the next meeting comes at us with even more of the same. 

    They make us feel more distracted and uneasy, not less.

    Just to see whether they got better at dealing with my pet peeve, I downloaded and installed the 1.0 release of Firefox. The good news, is that rather than having to download and reinstall all the extensions again, now the browser disables all of the extensions. Then, at first startup it checks for updates to…

    Thanks to Robyn, I learned that not only can you use X10 cameras to spy on your kids or the babysitter, or your good looking houseguests, but lots of other folks could be tapping into those images as well! Hmm might want to think twice about what you’re doing in front of the X10, eh?…
