It got better

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The migraine I worked up to all day at work kept me from running out to get the wireless card for the laptop, so I haven’t gotten that setup at all yet. I tried to just add the access point to the existing network but I’m having a problem with that. I didn’t think it would require a crossover cable, because it has a WAN port, but maybe it does?

On the other hand, my Life of a One-Mad IT Department T-shirt came in! Seems like a pretty good quality T-shirt, the logo is going to crack, we’re pretty convinced of that, but I’m hoping it will give it that sort of homey/worn look without getting unreadable. I think that’s a good possibility. I imagine it looks pretty good on the other products as well. I’m happy with it!

    Here’s a couple of online annoyances: First, I forgot to grab the classified section from Sunday’s Columbus Dispatch on the way to work yesterday. So I wander over to their website, go through the classifieds section, get to the employment section and tell it to show me all the Computer-type jobs from Sunday’s paper. Of…

  • XP activation issues?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    A reader asked me about a Sony laptop where every time he starts it up, it comes up and says it needs to be activated. Then it comes up and says “Windows is already activated” and contiues on in this circular logic pattern. It’s been happening since installing the MS Anti-spyware and updating WMP, but…
