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?

    Back to a previous topic, I am seriously giving thought to doing something different with the photo albums. Does anyone have any suggestions for some photo album software that would be compatible with a Windows hosting environment? It can’t be based on MySQL, perhaps something is ASP using Access or PHP without using a database?…

    I know, I haven’t posted anything today, and haven’t really been online much. I’m trying to get some database work done, but I’ve had too many interruptions between quick user questions and vendor phone calls. I think I’ve started over on this three times now, and it’s not necessarily anything difficult, it’s just hard to…

    You might notice the nice little XML graphic over under the webcam pic to your left. Yes, I used RSSify at VoidStar.com to create a temporary RSS feed that you all can subscribe to. For the moment it’s imperfect, it doesn’t get the post titles and uses the first 40 characters of the post as…

    A stunning display of incompetence, that is. I get on the Time Warner support people quite a bit, because as a RoadRunner subscriber we’ve had our share of difficulties with them. Just to show that it’s not us, the person I hired as part of Angela’s Xmas gift to do a new graphic look for…

    Doppler 2.0 RC1 is out. I downloaded it this morning and checked for the bug that I had to work around in 1.1.1 involving using space savers by date, and sure enough it’s fixed. And that’s not even the best part about it. It also supports multi-threaded downloads, resume downloads, and comes with a light…
