I’m not paranoid!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Things like this are why I am so freaking rigid about the spare laptop at work. Whenever someone has it out to be used I always demand that it gets back to me by the end of the day so I can lock it in my office. Yes my office gets locked every night when I leave. That keeps anyone from getting physical access to the network server and the spare laptop unless I am there. It also means my office doesn’t get cleaned, which is sort of a pain. 🙂

    Only in this case it wasn’t a pet peeve before, because I never considered that someone would do this. Someone actually forwarded me a spam they got with the message “This doesn’t apply to me, I must have gotten it by mistake.” What, exactly, do they expect me to do about that? Follow these topics:…

    Here’s a good reason why I have a hard time believing most of what I hear from news organizations.

  • AOL stepping in the right direction?

    This story about AOL announcing that they are going to stop using pop-up ads should make their users somewhat happier about their service, which should be the focus of everything they do really. I mean if you make your customers angry by making your own product annoying and difficult to use, you’re not going to…
