Things I’ve noticed

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Just a few things I’ve noticed while catching up with my blogrolls:

Brad is trying to get enough money to buy a Mac, and he’s auctioning off some stuff to do it.

I liked what Scoble and Doc had to say about the MacWorld news, not because I’m anti-Mac, but because they did a far job of pointing out the shortcomings of Mac’s new stuff. It seems that many Mac “zealots” are unable, or unwilling, to see anything negative about anything that comes from Steve and Co.

That said, Angela is looking forward to trying out the new iPhoto. Reports about it making burning to CD easier have gotten her hopes up about overcoming her biggest pet peeve with it.

Christine did a nice job of listing some job interview help links the other day. You can bet I was bookmarking those suckers last night. 🙂

Finally, Chris has a new design using a handwriting font and yellow, legal pad type background. Oh, I how wish he included full posts in his XML feed so I never had to visit the site again. Making things harder to read is not an improvement. I hope he doesn’t start a trend, there’s a reason why you don’t hand-write some things, especially when you expect others to read them. Yeah, it’s personal and cute and all of that, but it’s also amateurish too. But that’s just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

    I finally got some time to watch the first two episodes of the IT Crowd over at BBC4. It’s pretty funny stuff and while most of it is farce there’s just enough truth to it to make your typical IT folks nod with familiarity. When Moss asks Roy “Did she continue talking to you AFTER…

    I spent my lunch hour today following up on a great suggestion from Andy about using Table Editor as the answer to editing the comment databases on the fly. I got that installed and it works excellently! Thanks Andy! Now that I got that in place, I’m switching the other blog over to ASPcomment which…

    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…

    As someone who has been job-hunting online, I’ve seen my share of these types of scam emails. I’m glad to see someone getting the word out about these things. The best ones though are the “we can help you get you a job, but we can’t give out any private information about how we do…
