Going to be a busy one

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Of course I knew today was going to be a day I hit the ground running when I got the call around 8 last night because one of our people was having a hard time with his laptop. The really sad thing is, it was my fault. I made a configuration change so that he could accomplish something yesterday and didn’t take the time to check out all of the consequences of that change. Everything was working fine until he took the laptop home last night and blam, he couldn’t get in.

I got him in last night over the phone so he could work on some things but I need to undo that change and get things setup the way they used to be for him.

    Dell has implemented a new “order status” system, at least that’s what the page says. Only problem is, if I go to their home page and click “Order Status” at the top, it routes me into their support sub-system. That’s all well and good, but then when I enter my wife’s details on the Axim…

    Has anybody else using Windows Live Writer to post to their blog noticed occasional slowdowns? Like when it’s autosaving a draft, and you’re typing, the program doesn’t keep up with you, and then fills in behind with what you had been typing once it recovers? For someone like me, who doesn’t type real well, it…

    Maybe not for you, but it is for me. One of my favorite bands of all time is calling it quits. Midnight Oil lead singer Peter Garrett has decided to call it a career and “take up challenges outside of music”. Ironically enough for a band that struggled to get the recognition they deserve outside…
