I’m impressed

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The laptop hard drive, which was ordered after 3 PM yesterday, and which I was told by the Compaq help desk person to not expect until Monday, maybe even Tuesday, arrived before 9 o’clock this morning. I probably won’t even attempt to work on that until Monday anyway though, as I’m leaving at noon today to head out of town and do the holiday celebration with the in-laws this weekend. I’m looking forward to it!

In other news, there’s a new logo type thingy on the lower left hand column. Following Tony’s lead, I am using a Creative Commons license to describe what rights I’m allowing you, the reader, and what right’s I’m reserving. Basically, the only right I hold in full reserve is the right to commercial use of the content here, and the right to require attribution if you copy the content for your own non-commercial use. Pretty simple, really, and now you all know where we stand, eh? 🙂

(Not that I really have any intention of making this a commercial site, but really, it’s my content, if anyone gets to do that, it should be me!)

    Yes I got to spend most of my evening at work! On a Friday night, that rocks, doesn’t it? Turns out that late yesterday afternoon two different machines lost network connectivity suddenly. After a few checks of routine things, I eventually made my way to the wiring closet and noticed something wrong right away. In…

    When you work for a consulting company and are looking to recruit me, please, by all means, ignore everything that is on my online profile about how I’m not looking for a temporary position, argue with me about what a “temporary” position means, (“No no, this is a six month contract and then they might…

  • Why software developers should read this site.

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes
