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?

    You know they shouldn’t give very bad worms names that make me think of Mad Max-Beyond Thunderdome. It sort of ruins the seriousness of it, doesn’t it? (And yes that movie reference probably ages me more than I care to admit!) That being said, I’ve seen no evidence of it in our office, which is…

    How can the same person in the office leave his PC logged on and Outlook open while he’s not even in the office, and then two days later sit in his office all day long without even opening Outlook? What is the thinking process, is there a thinking process? I don’t understand.. Of course, I’ll…

    As you can see from Angela’s post about our trip to the Newport Aquarium, little Dylan seemed to have the best time when she gave him her digital camera and let him wonder around taking pictures. They’re not too shabby for a 3 year old. Anyway, she and I are thinking of trying to find…
