More tech woes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yesterday was almost an entire day trudging through the world of faulty DNS records, broken telephone cords, unexplained inability to dial outside, which just as suddenly started working again, a lost internet connection that kept me from updating our website database, and various other semi-emergencies. I was so busy putting out fires that when 3PM came around, and with the AC still not working, they sent us all home, I hadn’t managed to do any training with the new employee that started yesterday.

So today, with all relevant fires put out, and other issues at least moved out of my hands, I looked forward to getting that training done early. Unfortunately, I was greeted this morning by an inability to connect to our ISP’s mail server. Back to firefighting mode. Where did I put the hose? 🙂

    Yes, there is now a Freeware News Aggregator Showdown Part 3- Morbus responds! page, where he responds to some of my observations about features that I felt Amphetadesk was lacking on. If the release version is as powerful as he claims, and he can get some 5-minute tweaking instructions written up, this is going to…
