Activewords

So I promised Buzz, after some email exchanges, that I’d download a trial version of ActiveWords sometime soon. Now, this particular piece of software has been on my radar since I first saw Scoble using it at Gnomedex I back in 2001. The problem I’ve had with it, and the reason I’ve never really bothered to try it out before, is all me. It’s actually a nice little tool, that I’m sure would come in handy for a lot of people in a lot of situations but I don’t know how I’d use it. I’ve been using Windows since version 3.1. I’ve gotten pretty used to using it, and I don’t know that I can handle a major change in the way I use my computer! We’ll see, I’m going to load it on the laptop, which seems to me the one machine that I usually try and be quicker on, and I’ll let you all know after I’ve been using it for awhile how it works, and whether it makes enough difference to get me to change the way I compute!

    Ian Landsman gave me a head’s up this afternoon to a new site he’s created, helpdesktalk.com. In his words: HelpDeskTalk.com is a new site dedicated to the help desk community.

    I’ve been reading Todd Cochrane’s Podcasting book that I won from the Chuck Chat Technorama Show 50 contest. My impressions of the book have been really positive. It’s really written with enough techincal information to keep the geek in all of us interested, while still being easy enough to follow for the newbie. It covers…
