There’s a change in the air

Looks like Tony has left Penguin Shell. Someone else will be writing that particular Lockergnome newsletter. I can understand what Tony had to say about it, and I can also understand what Chris has to do as a businessman, and I wish them both the best of luck in their separate directions!

Thanks for all the work you put in Tony!

Speaking of leaving, this weekend the New York City subway token was put to rest.. Reading that whole entry shows just how much has changed just in my own lifetime. I played stickball, remember famous mafia hits, made many a call from a phone booth, etc. when I was growing up there. 🙂

    But since our ISP did their “upgrade” last week, we’ve had a connection outage of anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour every day. Twice, so far, today! Somehow, I think maybe they missed on the “increased stability” they were going for, don’t you? Gee I’m in an awfully complaint-centered mood today, aren’t I?…

    Haven’t seen any of this new Trojan posing as Windows XP update around our email server yet. The last faxe MS update came through here without incident as all of my users who thought it might be an actual update forwarded it to me to see if they needed to apply the update. (Our ISP…

    Trillian has released Pro version 1.0.

It sounds pretty neat, I may just have to fork out the…
