I went by the office where they moved the furniture around on Friday, and discovered that the PC is on the opposite wall from the Ethernet jack, and the Cat-5 cable is running across the middle of the office, about a foot off the floor. You have to step over it to get into the desk chair! I need to go get a longer cord for that office and run it around the wall, don’t ya’ think?

I suppose this is what I get when I’m not here to “supervise” these things. On the other hand, maybe they should have waited until I was…..

    Some days you’re sitting here and everything’s working well, no one really is hitting you up with requests and you’re almost, dare I say it, a little bored.

    Ian Landsman gave me a head’s up this afternoon to a new site he’s created, helpdesktalk.com. In his words: HelpDeskTalk.com is a new site dedicated to the help desk community.

    As many of you know, over at the child abuse site, I use Movable Type, and I have often raved about how well MT-Blacklist works to keep out comment spam. Well, thanks to a pointer from Christine, I see this morning that there is a bug in the latest version of MT-Blacklist. The rather simple…
