Busy morning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Haven’t had time this morning to do my usual check of tech blogs and tech news to see what’s going on. Had to do billing first thing this morning, had some issues with one of the printers, and, in turn, had some issues with printer drivers on one of the PC’s after I got the printer operating properly again.

On the other hand, maybe it’s just me, but the tech news of late hasn’t really been all that interesting. I’m actually not that interested in it. I find myself doing other things instead. Probably just the way things are in summer time, there’s so many other things to do that tech just becomes more of a job than usual.

    I’d forgotten about how gawd-awful the Microsft Windows File Associations web service is. I don’t remember ever getting a file with no program associated and clicked the “click here to get information on the programs needed to open this file” and found actual useful information, most times it’s just like this: http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?Ext=mdi The sad thing…

    Would you believe we’re working on day 5 since I changed the DNS servers for this site and my home connection still does not consistently resolve to the new server? Of course this is the same ISP that told me back a few months ago when it couldn’t resolve the DNS for my other site…

    Just yesterday some of us were gathered in the area of the helpdesk, discussing the NTP/RIM lawsuit and what the firm might have to do if the Blackberry service does, in fact, get shut down. The agreement was that we’d end up blowing a big chunk of IS budget rolling out Windows Mobile devices. One…

    I was asked to “consult” with our VP of Legislative Affairs this afternoon in reference to an anti-spam bill. She showed me the current state law, the proposed state law and the latest Federal CAN-Spam Act. All 3 have a different definition of what an “access provider” is. Being an access provider gives you the…

  • Busy Monday

    Already this morning I’ve sat through a staff meeting, helped unload stuff from last week’s event, which included hooking a printer back up that had been out there, checked the weekend backups, and read through my emails. Still to do are some accounting reports, an update to our website database, a conference call with a…
