Various personal items

After over 3500 miles in eight days last week, my car picked today on the 2 mile drive home from work to start having issues. The “check engine” light popped on. I’m sure it’s probably nothing, but the timing of it right after the long trip makes me worry just a little. It’s still under warranty though, so all is good. I just have to put up with no car for a few days while the dealership takes a look at it.

The Life of a One-Man IT Department t-shirt, which I wore the first day of Gnomedex and somewhere in the area of 3 people noticed, has been washed a couple of times now and seems to be holding up pretty well. I was a bit worried, but now I think it should be about as fine as any concert t-shirt sort of thing. It’s not a bad quality t-shirt. For those of you who didn’t see it at Gnomedex, Jim’s pic of me is the best one I’ve seen the shirt in yet!

Brad in an IM chat just mentioned that he’s studying for the A+ Certification. That reminds me, I need to get cracking on getting those certifications now that the vacation is over. I need to have it done by the end of the year, but realistically I’d like to be done before we get into the holiday season.

First things first, tomorrow I replace a hard drive, and run month-end reports. That should make for a pretty full day, don’t ya’ think?

Lastly, am I the only one who gets totally frustrated waiting for an email response from someone when they’ve promised me either cool information or cool software to play with? I understand the reason for the delays, and am certainly not angry with these people, but I’m not a patient person, at all!

    Saw my first Segway today. A cop was riding it through the Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Angela actually pointed it out to me, she’s turning into such a good little geek wife. 🙂 Now that I’ve seen one up close, I can honestly say that my opinion hasn’t changed, it’s a neat toy,…

    Upgraded the Movable Type and PhpBB installs over on the other site last night. That should help with comment spam and the security problem with PhpBB. Both went off pretty easily. I’d highly recommend them! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    I meant to write this last night, but I took Nyquil for a cold and spent the night in bed, so I never quite go around to it. 🙂 I did, finally, get the AV stuff installed on my machine as the server and the new desktop as client, pulling the definitions from my machine….

  • Bad IT people?

    This guy really doesn’t like some IT people. I’d have to agree with him in some sense, I’ve run into far too many people who are convinced that technology “X” is THE thing our office needs who’ve never even set foot in our office or bothered to figure out what we do, let alone where…

  • Pocket PC

    Since Andy brought it up, I will point out that the Dell Axim has been working fine for me, but I haven’t been doing anything interesting with it. This weekend, however, I’ll be giving it quite the workout, as I’ll have a Pocket Streets map of downtown Baltimore, I’ll be taking a look at a…
