Lack of communication

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

We didn’t get back from the in-laws until late yesterday evening. With all the wedding stuff and all the various family members to visit with (They are a big, Southern family, there’s a bunch of them, and they all love to tell stories!!) I never even fired up the laptop all weekend. In fact, I did a quick scan of email last night before bed, which was the only online activity I had between leaving work Friday and arriving this morning.

Angela asked if I was getting jittery from lack of online activity, but you know, it actually felt good to be away for a time. 😉

    This seems like a rather insecure way to remotely control your PC. Afterall, anyone can send emails to your gmail account with “keywords”. Unless you can use long, randomly-generated, sets of characters. Even then, if you really have a need to control your PC remotely, learn to use a VNC program. Tags: GmailRemoteCommand Follow these…

    A couple of new releases that I noticed today, first there’s Mozilla 1.2Beta, which I will probably not be trying out for a little while, at least, but I’m sure someone else already has it. Secondly there’s Mailwasher 2.0Beta, which features hotmail support. As I said when I first installed Mailwasher on my home PC,…

    Not only was today my first day at the new job, but it was also rollout day for a new document management system firm-wide. Yes, over 300 people had to deal with coming into the office and having to work in a different environment than the one they left Friday. That meant a whole lot…

  • Counting on that email?

    Remember how I was telling you about our work ISP and the fact that they simply stopped sending bounces for bad email addresses? I have been working on a “tip of the week” for next week and trying to explain to our users that email is not reliable, that if they don’t get a reply…
