Famous last words

“Today should be a little bit of a back to normal day”

Yeah I should have known better than to say that. I blame the lack of sleep last night for that momentary lack of common sense. I’d forgotten just how new a couple of my fellow employees are and how many things they haven’t actually done for themselves yet. I’d also forgotten just how long it’s been since I had to do those things and how rusty I would be in trying to help them.

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate our envelope printer? That was a good two hours out of my day, again!

OK, I need to finish up some stuff and get out of here. Maybe I’ll get more sleep tonight? 🙂

    Despite Andy’s excellent suggestions on the last comment, I decided to go with a simple Blogger blog, like this one. I actually did try and quickly download and install BlogWorks XML to do the job, but ran into server errors that I suspect have to do with something necessary not being installed on my web…

  • SP2

    I bit the bullet and installed SP2 over lunch today, since I had to work through my lunch hour anyway. (Long story) Everything went well, and nothing really came across as “broken” in any major way. I had to re-enable the Messenger Service, since I do use “net send” across our internal network quite often….

  • 2003 Server Launch

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Was interesting. Mostly just marketing hype BS, but some interesting demo’s of stuff that you can do with Server 2003 and Visual Studio .Net. The most exciting thing for me, and I’m sure all other people who do help desk work is the “Shadow Copy” feature that lets you revert back to a previous version…

    RealPlayer 10 has been released. Now, I have been successful in keeping RealOne off our network here at work, by using the language of our anti-spyware policy, since RealOne did a whole lot of tracking, advertising and other sneaky things. After reading this though, I might have to at least give version 10 and their…
