We’re back!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Turns out we had no internet connection the entire time we were in Gatlinburg. Sorry for the lack of updates, but I’ll be sure to get up to speed quickly, I hope. We had a great time, and got some really beautiful pictures from our hike in the Smoky Mountains on Sunday. They will be up soon, at least some of them. Highlights were the Grotto Falls hike, the Aquarium, the bookstore in Pigeon Forge where I found four books I’ve been wanting to read for the grand total of $23, and the Chocolate Margarita Mousse desert at No Way Jose’s Cantina. (Yummy!)

The books I picked up at Foozles? The Bombast Transcripts: Rants and Screeds of RageBoy., The Future and Its Enemies , Coercion : Why We Listen to What ‘They’ Say, and A+ Exam Notes : Core Module. (Yeah I need to pick up a certification sometime this summer to enhance my future job search, A+ seems like the place to start.)

It’s now 7:13PM, we’ve been back in town for a few hours and I’m already at work, replacing a bad hard drive. I’m still technically on vacation, but I wanted to come and do this tonight and not have it to deal with first thing in the morning. I guess you could say I’m dedicated, or insane. They’re both pretty accurate.*L*

By the way, I got a lenghty email from Morbus in response to my desired aggregator features. Some of it explains how to do some of that now. No time to really get into it yet, but I’m truly looking forward to it!

    After my experiences today I’m reconsidering the way I look at password policies. I had to go around and install the new drivers for that Canon copier/printer today on about 15 machines. The install involved installing the Canon LPR port, installing the print driver, restarting, and then entering the Department ID information for the print…

    Per a link from Evan: Managing Incoming E-mail: What Every User Needs to Know. I’ll let you know if it’s any good.
