Lots of work today

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Today will be a pretty work intensive day as the calendar conspires against me. Not only is this the Monday after a 4 day weekend, which would be quite a bit of catching up on it’s own, but it’s also the time to update our website database, which occurs every other week, and it’s the first working day of the month, which means month-end reports are due today. It’s also the start day for that new employee, so there will be some training time spent as well.

Lastly, even after I leave here, we’ve got Angela’s PC, which seems to have lost the ability to see any USB-connected devices. I foresee an uninstall/reinstall of her USB ports and root hub on the horizon…

I’d better get to it!

    While most of Friday night and Saturday revolved around the grand search for new dining room chairs, yesterday was pretty much an all-hockey day! We went to see “Miracle” early in the day, and got back home in time to catch the NHL All-Star Game on TV. The movie was pretty good, although I will…

    I was thinking something on the drive to work today about how electricity is sort of like IT. Nobody really notices the power companies until the power goes out. IT is very similar, no one really knows what goes on “down there” nor do they really understand what it is that we do, but lawdy…

  • Blogger and RSS

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Seems the new relaunch of Blogger gave people the opportunity to grouse once again about Blogger’s use of Atom instead of RSS. Fair enough. To add a bit more fuel to the fire, the dirty little secret is that the old BloggerPro accounts do support both. Notice how my feed is RSS, version 0.91, I…

    Gee and there are 1171 unread items in my aggregator, so here’s my attempt at noting things to look at later: The IE Team has a blog! RSS Traffic burdens publisher’s servers. -Not a big surprise, but definitely reason to turn off the aggregator every now and then. I generally only poll sites 2-3 times…

  • Worst Web Service Ever

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’d forgotten about how gawd-awful the Microsft Windows File Associations web service is. I don’t remember ever getting a file with no program associated and clicked the “click here to get information on the programs needed to open this file” and found actual useful information, most times it’s just like this: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?Ext=mdi The sad thing…

    Seen at Geek News Central, Zoomr, an on-line photo-sharing service similar to Flickr is giving away free pro accounts to bloggers. That’s actually not a bad idea to generate some Buzz, especially when Flickr has really become the market leader and beaten you to that Buzz. When that’s the case, you definitely have to get…
