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?

    I spent part of last night making some template renovations around here, if you actually come to the site to read this, you’ve probably noticed them already. First thing, I took out the blogrolls, except for the list of people I’m actually related to, and replaced them with a link to my subscriptions on Bloglines,…

    Confessions of a cyberchondriac -I could see this happening, people self diagnose all the time. With all that medical information online it’s a gold mine for people who do that! That being said, the last time I did a bunch of online medical research was in between an initial diagnosis by my doctor and an…

  • Sign of the times

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    While we were out running around last night, one of the stops we made was to browse around at Half-Price Books. (One of my favorite places!) As I was walking past the software section I noticed a little sign telling customers that they would be glad to buy and resell various games or children’s software…
