Busy day

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?

    Has anybody else using Windows Live Writer to post to their blog noticed occasional slowdowns? Like when it’s autosaving a draft, and you’re typing, the program doesn’t keep up with you, and then fills in behind with what you had been typing once it recovers? For someone like me, who doesn’t type real well, it…

    Apparently, the switch over to the new version of Blogger also kicked out a bunch of emails to the subscription list. As far as I can tell all the emails that didn’t get sent out while BloggerPro was having some issues in late May-early June are all being sent out now. I’m sorry for cramming…
