Priorities

OK, I’ve spent some time here complaining about the various things that my current host isn’t supporting that I’d like to try out, but it’s important that you understand that while these are annoyances, they are hardly my first priorities. At some point this year’s hosting deal will run out and I’ll take a long hard look at what I want to do and how I want to do it at that time. As of right now, I have a number of other issues with the site that I want to deal with, some reorganization of the static pages, some new static content, etc. I also have made a vow to myself to actually, finally, get some certification this summer, the A+ cert. being the goal for this summer, and then moving on from there to Network+, to ?? (Yeah I know, close to 5 years working in IT and I never bothered to get certifications, shame on me!) I’d also like to really, really learn ASP while I’m on a hosting platform that supports it. Obviously, studying is going to be taking up quite a bit of my time, and the expense of taking the tests, ($139 per test) the expense of my long road trip in August, and the expected expense of new glasses come Friday, (Vision coverage? What’s that?) also means that I won’t be having a bunch of extra $$ laying around to pay for anything more to use on the site. My already paid-for subscriptions to ReadyHosting and BloggerPro are going to have to do me for awhile. (Unless I sell a lot of stuff from the store! *L*)

So, as you can see, I’ll be plenty busy, and should have plenty of things to keep blogging about for the next few months. (Which will make up for the lack of interesting work I’m probably going to be doing all summer!) As always, I look forward to the discussions here and in the forums!

    Apparently, the webcasting deal passed the House Judiciary Committee, that’s a big step to final passage. Looks like the webcasters had to swallow some higher rates than they wanted in order to avoid the CARP fees kicking in, but at least this is back to being based on a percent of revenue, like broadcast radio…

    I spent my lunch hour today following up on a great suggestion from Andy about using Table Editor as the answer to editing the comment databases on the fly.

    Not making the progress I want to so far. Had a few interruptions, and I’m expecting a few more, unfortunately. One of those “Mike can you tell us ‘XYZ’ from this data even though we never bothered to track the data that would actually tell you “XYZ” from the start of the project and have…

    Now that I’ve probably gotten that song stuck in your head for the rest of the weekend, (and mine!!!) I was struck this morning by feedback from fellow bloggers who, it turns out, I have something in common with! First came the comment from Gary Petersen that he discovered blogging at Gnomedex last year too!…

  • OneNote in the news

    I read Ed Bott’s article, Microsoft’s most misunderstood application and found myself nodding in agreement with a lot of what Ed had to say. It is rather sad that MS will only be bundling OneNote in the Home and Student Edition of Office 2007, I think giving folks the appearance that OneNote is a “student”…

    Some scary stuff about where the next generation of spyware and malware might be headed in terms of stealthiness. All in this weekend’s edition of Spyware Weekly. Let’s hope the good guys are working to combat this as fast as the malware folks are working to create it! Follow these topics: Uncategorized
