Ouch..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Right in the middle of yesterday’s stress-filled running around, trying to get everything and everyone to the right place and then back again, I found out that my grandmother died. I couldn’t, at that time, really think about it or try to find out what the funeral arrangements were and whether we would be able to make it to NY for them. I’m trying today to find that information and make that decision so Angela and I can rearrange our travel plans for this weekend, if need be. Consider my blogging to be on a break while real life continues it’s interruptions.

    It’s been a little while so I had forgotten how much time and effort can go into a job search, especially when you expand it beyond your immediate geographic area. Last night, after working all day, I had dinner and spent a little time with Angela, then sat down to review some of the help…

  • Giving it another chance

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I got an email from Morbus, the mysterious creator of Amphetadesk, offering me the opportunity to preview the Alpha of version 0.93, so that I could give it another chance to stack up in the Freeware News Aggregator Showdown. He disputes my claim that the download was over 4MB and that it ran extremely slow….

  • The arms race continues

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    There are a number of arms races going on, hackers, spammers, etc. This one’s about popups. Some folks figured out how to use Flash to get around Firefox’s pop-up blocker, and thanks to a post on Steve Holden’s blog, I see that someone had figured out a config change to combat that. Sheesh next thing…
