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.

    Upgraded the Movable Type and PhpBB installs over on the other site last night. That should help with comment spam and the security problem with PhpBB. Both went off pretty easily. I’d highly recommend them! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    The last post I made to the Child Abuse blog was made using the w.bloggar tool. It’s a nice little tool but there’s one big drawback to using it with Blogger Pro. There’s no title field on new posts? What’s up with that? Maybe the new, currently being beta-tested, version of blogger will fix that…

  • A big step

    I took the big plunge last night. Now that I’ve transferred over all the content from the Geocities site to either this location or the child abuse site, I went ahead and deleted the Geocities site. It is no more, after 6 years of existence and many different permutations. It’s time to move on to…

    Gee with everything else going on around here, I forgot to tell you all about my trial run with Remote Desktop last night. It’s not exactly as sure-fire simple as the Sales guys made it out to be the few times I asked about it. First I setup the XP box at work to accept…
