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!

    I was checking out my site server logs over my lunch hour today. (It’s snowing outside, what else am I going to do while sitting at my desk? *L*) I was puzzled by the sudden increase of people checking out Gnomedex pictures, so I started checking referers and found the Show Notes for Friday’s Screensavers…

  • Pride, or relief?

    I think what I feel about the launch, finally, of the new Friends of the Columbus Metro Library website, is a combination of both. I’m proud of the site, it’s not everything I wanted, but when you’re working with a designer and a committee, that’s to be expected. (Mostly, the big thing I think is…

    nf0 was kind enough to post the actual link to the Outlook patch in the forum. Thanks! I was too busy to really look through the news story about it carefully and completely missed the fact that, once again, the news story didn’t provide an actual link to the patch. It would be helpful if…

    Day two of the speakers part of Gnomedex is over. Sorry I didn’t get to blog any earlier, I had to leave my laptop charging as I forgot to charge it last night, and I planned on getting it during the lunch break, but instead got involved in a lengthy discussion about hardware with Ed…

    Angela and I were all set to go to the Crew game tonight. The place where she used to work had some extra tickets, we were going to go hang in the VIP patio and just enjoy the game together. Unfortunately, shortly before we were due to leave, we found out that they wound up…
