Interesting tidbits

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Couple of interesting things I saw over at Chris’ Blog this morning that I think need to be shared. First, the good folks at Lockergnome have started up FileofTheDay.com. That might be something to keep handy when you’re in the mood for some good freeware or shareware.

Secondly, the Barenaked Ladies have a blog. If you’re a fan of the band I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading it, although, like Chris, I’m a tad disappointed that they don’t have a way for fans to leave comments.

  • An update

    As a quick update to the post about Internet bottlenecks. Our networking folks spent a couple of weeks doing random traffic captures, both inside the firewall and having the ISP do it outside the firewall. Nothing really significant was found, no malware tying up bandwidth, no one streaming video all day long, nothing at all…

  • I don’t mean to complain..

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    But since our ISP did their “upgrade” last week, we’ve had a connection outage of anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour every day. Twice, so far, today!
