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 see the full-feed/partial-feed debate has risen it’s ugly head again. Oh joy, just when I thought I might have missed something while I was toiling in the land of dialup at my in-laws all weekend, and then driving home today. Nope, same old crap. People with advertising, who are worried about the money they…

    From a link at PC Doctor, under the heading of Email annoyances, I followed along to this post and laughed especially hard at this one: “The 18-line sig about all the Bad Things that will happen to me if I ever reveal the contents of your privileged, confidential (and unencrypted) message” As any law-firm IT…

  • Who’s interviewing who?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Just something that’s been on my mind lately, but do companies know what kind of impression they make in interviews? OK, yes the job market isn’t what it used to be, and attracting good candidates isn’t nearly as hard as it used to be, but I’ve seen, or heard about, numerous examples of behavior in…

    From a Register article: “Symantec has turned off this auto-responder feature by default for the last two years but systems admins insist on turning it back on, according to Chris Miller, a Symantec mail security product manager.” Well I guess I can quit blaming Symantec for all those “virus bounce” messages and start blaming email…

  • Firefox upgrade

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Just to see whether they got better at dealing with my pet peeve, I downloaded and installed the 1.0 release of Firefox. The good news, is that rather than having to download and reinstall all the extensions again, now the browser disables all of the extensions. Then, at first startup it checks for updates to…
