I hate that

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Don’t you hate when you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out why you can’t delete a file out of a directory only to discover that you forgot to give yourself permission to do that when you created the directory to begin with?

A simple fix, yes, but it really makes you shake your head and wonder doesn’t it?

Yeah, it’s been one of those days. I’ll be glad to go home. Next time I go on a short vacation, someone remind me not to come back, k?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I think maybe it’s time to change how the networks broadcast the Olympics. I know this year it seems as though the ratings aren’t what they used to be, and I think it has a whole lot to do with the fact that they are showing things well after they’ve already happened. Come on, this…

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    There’s more all around on the latest file-sharing stuff, here, here, and here. The thing to take away from all of this is that there’s a very real possibility that file-sharing will be no more, and that burning music to a cd will become a very burdensome process in the near future. While I don’t…
