We got ice

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yeah what an awesome way to drive to work in the morning, greeted by freezing rain and ice everywhere! It’s going to be such a good f’ing day!

In other news, those of you who are waiting for your Dell Axim X5 to arrive or who have just received yours should think about dropping by the DellAxim group on Yahoo, which just goes to show that there’s an email list for everything. 🙂

In work news, the people who decide such things have decided to change the date of our holiday potluck at work. We generally have 2 celebrations, one an outside, evening affair with spouses and then another potluck, lunch affair. It was originally scheduled for the 23rd, but because there were some people who would miss it on that day, and we “didn’t want them to be left out”, it was moved to the 20th, a day I’m not going to be here. Yeah I’m feeling the love.

    As a quick update to the post about Internet bottlenecks. Our networking folks spent a couple of weeks doing random traffic captures, both inside the firewall and having the ISP do it outside the firewall. Nothing really significant was found, no malware tying up bandwidth, no one streaming video all day long, nothing at all…

    Not that I was the one looking, but if you’re going to be surfing for a new job while at your current job, don’t go to the Bank One Careers page! On top of adding nothing to the page, the Flash animation comes complete with a soundtrack. Your co-workers, or even your boss, might stop…

  • This may become an interesting summer project

    Listening to In The Trenches while having lunch at my desk, I find myself intrigued greatly by Rob Whaley’s Admin to Admin segment on Uniform Server. I’ve been seriously thinking about trying to setup a web-server and seeing if I could get some sort of intranet put together as a place to post announcements or…

    But I didn’t think it would happen this soon! Jonas dropped me an email early this morning asking why I didn’t cover Feedreader in the latest article. For the record, I did cover Feedreader in one of the followups to Part 1. It crashed repeatedly when I tried to run it and try it out,…

    Darn it, someone’s been keeping track of my helpdesk tickets and putting them on-line under the pseudonym The Chronicles of George. I need to find out who’s doing that! Seriously though, we had a good time laughing about this at work today, all under the guise of learning how NOT to enter information in the…
