Busy day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Haven’t had much time to look over the tech or blog news today. Have a hard drive being flaky on me again. I got it running long enough to make a backup of the email and favorites for this person, but still have a replacement coming in overnight. There’s no sense waiting for this thing to die, I know it’s about to. Getting it going long enough to make backups lets me play the hero part, and since it’s one of our VP’s PC’s, looking the hero to her is a plus! Especially two days before System Admin Appreciation Day, as if anyone here is going to recognize that!

I’ve also been working diligently constructing an email about informing the IT Dept. (me!) about staff changes. There’s nothing like having people coming and going without making sure the IT stuff is taken care of. Generally I try to have all the details here and with our ISP taken care of before someone starts, but we’ve had instances where no one tells me someone is starting and they just show up at my office door one day. That’s a hassle!

I also have a telephone extension that won’t make outside calls right now!

So I’m keeping quite busy. How’s your day going?

    Is my three day weekend over already? That sucks! Not that I haven’t had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend, I’m just not looking forward to going back to work.

    Per Dianna’s request, in the comments, here are my first impressions of IntraVnews: First off, I’m running it with Outlook 2003, on an older type laptop running Windows 2000, with only 128MB of RAM, so YMMV. But, I’ve found that with about 80 channels subscribed, it doesn’t run as slow as I was afraid it…

    A post with a bullet, or three. * Firefox’s update went pretty smoothly on my laptop, it had one little hiccup on my work desktop. After restarting Firefox, the Clippings extension threw up a script error. Disabling Clippings and reinstalling it fixed the problem. BTW, Clippings is a very handy tool when your helpdesk software…

    Noting this for myself for when I’m at my work machine tomorrow, and any other Greasemonkey users who might see a similar problem, the new update to Greasemonkey, version 0.3.3 seems to have broken at least one of the user scripts that I use (Gmail Smart Delete button). Check for updates to user scripts if…
