Things you don’t want your tech guy to say

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

From the Mac guy a few minutes ago:

“If that’s wrong it shouldn’t have run at all. I can’t understand how that happened?”.

I can’t wait to hear more from him. 🙂

Update: Those of you with Macs will probably get this more than I do, but the problems were a corrupt system folder, and corrupt fonts, and Pagemaker needed to be reinstalled, and Distiller needed to be reinstalled and patched, etc. etc. All in all, almost 4 hours of tech support time. After all of that, however, the Pagemaker file that our Graphics guy has spent over a week working on is still fudged. Both the “in progress” and backup copies of it are corrupt in some way that all of that did not fix. Looks like he’s going to have to start over on that file. Poor guy.

    Thanks to Cam World for pointing out this $399 computer from Walmart. When did Wally’s World start selling PC’s with no OS? That’s not a bad deal at all, seems like a pretty powerful machine, but no network card sort of sucks. That can be dealt with. I’ve never used a Microtel machine, anyone have…

    The recent news that the RIAA wants ISP’s to start paying a tax for their customers file sharing raises a number of interesting questions. To me, this has always been the “tipping point” of sorts for the whole file-sharing question. It was inevitable that the RIAA and MPAA would go after ISP’s. There’s no cost-effective…

    Some of you, obviously, noticed that little “ignore this” post last night. Here’s some of what I’m thinking on ESBN‘s. I think there may be a place where this can be useful. I’ve seen folks complain about the fact that their full-post RSS feeds are repurposed on sites that exist only to serve Google Ads….

    OK, I admit it, I’m a sucker. I know I’m not the only one out there either. Yeah, I’ll be listening to Kevin’s podcast later today, simply because he blogged about it and said that I was mentioned in the program. Like you wouldn’t be tuning in to see what he said about you… 🙂…

    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. We’re getting close to our event, we have a walk through at the theater this afternoon, I need to pay extra special attention to where the electrical outlets are…

    I saw earlier this week that a couple of my favorite podcasts had created listener email discussion lists, so I’m all signed up to be part of the group for both Geek News Central and In the Trenches. I’m curious to see how the email lists work out and whether a community of listeners develops…
