Huh?

If you work in tech long enough you will, inevitable, come across a fix that leaves you going “Why would anything be designed to do THAT?”

Or, as I tell coworkers when I come across one, “I don’t know why it works, I’m not even sure why those two things are related, but it works, don’t argue with it.”

In that spirit I give you this link over on Pocket PC Thoughts about fixing intermittent alarm problems. Not a difficult workaround, but certainly one that makes very little sense.

    Playing catch up after being gone for the funeral. Hundreds of items in Bloglines to look at, dozens of emails to answer, a few work issues that need resolved immediately, probably a handful of podcasts to get caught up on, etc. I’m still glad I was able to go be with Angela and her family…

  • I’m tired of it..

    Moving on from commenting problems, because, frankly, I’m a little sick of looking at them. 🙂 Lots of work stuff to do today, probably light blogging.

    Already this morning I’ve sat through a staff meeting, helped unload stuff from last week’s event, which included hooking a printer back up that had been out there, checked the weekend backups, and read through my emails.
