Sometimes I’m such a dork…

I’ve spent hours trying to install and configure this so Angela could share files back and forth between her PC and her Mac. It seemed simple enough, but like I said, after hours spent trying various things to get the software to mount a Windows share I finally gave up and looked for other options. The most obvious ones seemed to involve upgrading to Jaguar, which has the SMB service to do exactly that, but not wanting to spend more money on this, and hoping to have something in place tonight, I continued looking. Finally I stumbled upon the most obvious answer. I setup the Mac as an FTP server and FTP’d to it from the PC. That took all of 2 minutes to configure. Why didn’t I think of that before?

    Yeah I know, posting’s been a little light, and sort of dull the past two days. I was actually out of the office yesterday, nursing a migraine/tension headache by sleeping most of the day.

    Since Angela had other plans this morning, it fell to me to hop online at 10AM to order her a couple of tickets to see the Dixie Chicks in June. No problem, it shouldn’t be that big a deal to order a couple of tickets from Ticketmaster, right? I’ve done it before for hockey tickets,…

    I don’t honestly believe any one else in our office has ever used the Outlook Today screen in Outlook 2000 before now, but if anyone tries to again and runs into the same problem of clicking on the “Customize Outlook Today” button and nothing happens, I know what the workaround is!

    We made it home late last night. You can hear the audioblogging of the trip over at Angela’s . She even managed to be sneaky and get my voice on one of the posts. It was before coffee, that’s really not fair. While we enjoyed ourselves, and there was definitely some neat things to see,…
