Speaking of laptops

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

You know what I discovered when I went to setup some things on that laptop so someone could use it today? The last person to take it out returned it sans power adapter! Since the battery is not charged, it’s pretty much useless until we either find it, or order a replacement. (I don’t have any extras, and I would give them the adapter to my personal laptop but it’s a different manufacturer and doesn’t work with it.)We’ve got a call in to the place where it was used last to see if it was left behind. Let’s hope they find it and ship it back. Not that anything can help those people who wanted to use it today. They’ll just have to do without.

    By the way, the outage was not planned, someone screwed up when they were doing some router upgrades. I can’t complain because the email server definitely does seem much faster today than it had been! Besides, I don’t have the time, nor the bandwidth, to tell you about all the times I went to “upgrade”…

    Not Billable Hour, Not Per-Gig, Then What?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I’ve seen some news, and cheering, recently suggesting that per-gig pricing as part of the ediscovery process is dead. If you read that post from AccessData, and follow the links, I think you’ll see a pretty good case for why a per-gig pricing model is problematic, but the one thing you won’t see is what…

  • One less laptop

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    There’s one less laptop in our pool this week, at least for now. It seems this particular laptop was a victim of a miracle. It was in a padded laptop case, just stuck in a car, and somehow the front of it (all the way across the base) got cracked and the touchpad doesn’t work. It’s truly…

  • Mental health thought of the day…

    Yes, it’s election day. Yes, that is probably all you will hear about all day and all night, unless, like me, you have planned a wonderful evening of novel reading, software installation, or other non-media consumption activities. Just remember, no matter what happens today, tonight, or into the next few days, you will still be…
