Monday morning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Oh it’s going to be a good week, I can tell. How? Here’s the omens:

I was greeted by a fellow employee’s questions about his home computer first thing this morning. Really, FIRST thing. Before I had even gotten to my office, let alone turned on my computer. Literally while I was walking down the hall with my laptop bag over my shoulder and key to my office in my hand, this person was hitting me with computer questions. Then, when I finally did settle into my office and turn my PC on, I was greeted by an email with a .pif attachment claiming to be from support@microsoft.com. Nice try, but I’ll be deleting that. Let’s hope anyone else in the building who got it did the same…

I’m ready to go back to bed.

    Why War Pigs? Because that’s the song that’s been stuck in my head since about 3AM yesterday morning. It was planted there by our neighbors, who normally we hardly ever hear a peep out of and are really nice guys. I’m guessing they celebrated the New Year a little harder than usual and for some…

    Looks like a few people who are in the middle of the THC saga are straggling in to the forums. That’s cool, I hope they can find some info from each other there! The infamous Geek also stopped in to suggest some possible forum topics, one about privacy/legislation and one actually about blogging. I’m going…

    Here’s a novel idea for your non-technical friends, and one I just came up with while having a discussion with a coworker: So you have a friend who has an old PC and wants rid of it. They don’t want to toss it in the trash, obviously, they want to drop it at a recycling…
