I love free wi-fi

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Hey, the best thing about Gnomedex right now? I-spot’s free wi-fi! I had to do a very basic install on Weds night to the new hard drive on the laptop and I’m now sitting in the hall of the Convention center downloading stuff so I can actually do things like edit my pictures, make a web album out of them, and use Trillian to IM my wife back home. These guys rock! I wasn’t looking forward to trying to do all that on dialup, I can tell you that!

Update: I got trillian running but I have no idea what my ICQ password is, so if you’re looking for me on there, try Yahoo user ID mikemac29, or the same username at hotmail for MSN.

Almost every shortcoming or problem I’ve seen people have with a manager or coworker could be filed under a problem with communication. It’s THE thing in the workplace. Ideas, expectations, priorities, and everything else in the workplace come down to the ability to communicate. If you cannot communicate clearly, you are lost, and the people who work for you or lost.

    Yet how many organizations promote the top performer or their most senior individual contributor without ever considering whether they are good communicators? And how many prioritize teaching them how to communicate as managers?

    I had hoped the short week due to Thanksgiving would be a relatively quiet one, but today definitely did not fit into that plan. One of our servers crashed early this morning, creating all kinds of havoc around the helpdesk, and the day pretty much went downhill from there. It was one of those days…

    Angela has her web album from our latest adventures in Vegas and the Grand Canyon up already. You can see her pics here. I haven’t yet chosen which pics of mine to put together in an album but hopefully I’ll have more to share soon. I’m just being a bit lazy on that front. 🙂…
