Coffee notes

Here’s the cool thing about Angela getting a Mac. She’s paying for the machine, and I’m getting the opportunity to add to my own tech knowledge by having access to a Mac for next to nothing. I’ve added the Apple Core to my list of Lockergnome subscriptions and added a copy of Troubleshooting, Maintaining, and Repairing Macs to my bookshelf at home for the low, low price of $6. (Big clearance sale at Microcenter, and Angela was nice enough to buy it for me, since it’ll be for her machine!) So I’m getting a Mac education right along with her, not too shabby!

Want to see A-list bloggers act like six-year olds? Yeah, I guess arguing about the technology and who came up with what idea first and who’s not getting enough credit is going to make people take the medium seriously, isn’t it? Because we all know it’s not the writing that makes a good weblog, it’s the technology, right? There certainly can’t be people who just write good, informative pages regardless of the tools they use, because the tools are the thing, aren’t they? Bleech! (link found through Corante)

Later.. I’m still awaiting word from the person who made a purchase at the Life of a One-Man IT Department Store. I’m curious as to his/her opinion of the product quality. I hope it was ok!

    Yes, Angela did put in her two weeks notice this morning. All I can say about that is that someone is going to be in for a rude surprise on Aug. 2 when they realize how many things don’t get done anymore and how many people here have no idea how to do them. Oh…

  • More work at home..

    So after another eventful Monday at work, mostly with routine junk, email updates, and Staff Meetings that are normal for Mondays, I went home with even more work to do. No, I didn’t give Red Hat another try. After that debacle I needed to actually accomplish something, so I started work on the Job Search…

    Lots of discussion about this post from yesterday going on around various places. Notably Geek News Central and Joy. To follow up Joy’s point, she’s right. I’m not going to sit here and tell you one version of software is better hands down, because it’s all relative. MS stuff is better for me in my…
