Just got a phone call from the fine folks down the street to let me know that they had gotten a package for me delivered to them and that I could pick it up from the front desk of their buidling.

Jeremy posted today about someone calling him a “whiz kid” and how, at 24, he doesn’t really feel like a kid. Here’s the thing, without knowing much about the person who said it, it’s hard to tell where the idea comes from. In my office I’m seen by some as a “whiz kid” because I’m…
It’s Monday, it’s not even 10 o’clock in the morning and already I’ve got people whining and bitching. The best part, you set a database to do a certain thing, have it that way for years, get everyone used to it working that way, and then, after all this time, a VP decides that’s not…
A couple of interesting things seen in newsletters today. First there’s today’s Spyware Info Weekly which talks about accusations of reverse engineering and fraud among different anti-spyware apps.
