Getting back on track

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

OK, now that I’ve finally gotten work caught up, maybe now I can stand to look at a computer screen when I go home and get some other projects done! I tried last night, and actually did get some work done as far as getting some resumes out to various places, and grabbing a couple of MP3’s that I’ve been meaning to get as a sample of the current Seanchai and coming Black 47 CD’s. (Both of these particular songs revolve around 9/11 and are very poignant reminders. )

Unfortunately, a cold/sore throat/overall run down feeling overcame any attempt to do much more. I’m still feeling it, but hopefully I can get some things accomplished soon anyway. I need to upgrade the other blog to a new version of Movable Type (I need to remember to configure it to ping blogrolling while I’m in there messing with it..)

I also need to break out the new machine at home and try my hand at setting up Active Directory. I’ve got a stable Win2000 server eval going, it’s time to play around with it and learn as much as I can about it, and try and learn some about the Linux workstation I’ve got going on the older machine at the same time.

At least I’m caught up on emails and blog reading, for the moment. That’s a workload in and of itself. 🙂

    The good news? I do have ‘net access in class. The bad news? While surfing towards the end of our lunch break I discovered that the Child Abuse site’s been suspended. I don’t have any idea why, and I don’t have the contact information for the host with me. Of course I also noticed that…

    Good grief. So many things needed tweaked or replaced or just fixed this week that I only really had time to put out fires up until today. Today, in between doing month-end database chores I’m trying to go back and document everything that happened earlier in the week in the helpdesk tracking DB, purchase some…

    Thanks for the suggestions in the comments below, in reply let me say that, yes the host does support PHP and ASP, so I could, given enough time, figure out how to write a referrer script myself and have it display properly. (They don’t support MySQL, so I don’t tend to use PHP at all…

    I’ve gotten an email from the guy hosting the Child Abuse site. The information he has is sketchy at this point, but the server on which the site sits has been shutdown, as part of a defense against a DDoS attack on that subnet. That’s all we know at this point. Hopefully it will be…

  • This is why I don’t wear a tie..

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Normally, there’s a dress code around our office, and it includes the whole tie/jacket thing most of the year, but I’m excluded from it. Now that doesn’t mean I get to wear jeans and t-shirts or anything like that, but unless I’m dealing with outside people, and that’s very rarely, I get to dress in…
