Don’t you just hate that?

So I went to see if I could start a download of Knoppix this morning and discovered that I was getting a whopping 1.9KB/second download speed on the CD image. Gee at that rate I’d be ready to burn the thing sometime next week! A quick switch of mirrors has me at a much better 30KB/second download speed. Let’s see if we can keep it up and have the image ready by the time I leave at 5? 🙂

If not, I’ll burn it tomorrow when I come in and then I’ll have it to use all summer, assuming I don’t find another job in the meantime.

    How do you like the new logo? It’s a little bit silly, but then, so am I! It has now officially been installed throughout the site as the Life of a One-Man IT Department logo. You know you want it on a coffee mug. 🙂 (Perhaps eventually…?) Follow these topics: Uncategorized

  • Office User Survey

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Interesting survey fromGR Business Process Solutions about the various features in the main Office apps and how people use them, or don’t use them. My personal experience would suggest that their numbers are high, but then again, my experience is in a not for profit environment where you typically get employees with less computer skills…
