On the road

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Spent last night putting together a basic installation on Windows on the new laptop hard drive. I guess I should be glad that there’s a Microcenter close by and that they had some notebook hard drives in stock. Or I should be glad it went out while I was still home where I had access to all the proper installation CD’s! On the good side, I now have a 20GB HD instead of a 5GB. On the down side, $120 of my vacation money’s been spent before I even left the house! I think this vacation is going to be done on the cheap, cheap, cheap!

The other down side, of course, is that I didn’t get to spend my last evening in town just being with my wife. That sucks more than any monetary loss could.

Well, I’m off to grab a shower, and then I’ll be hitting the road. Hope those of you joining me in Des Moines have a safe trip, and the rest of you have a great day!

From the “things you shouldn’t really have to tell people, but, obviously, you do” department (From both sides of the job searching fence): If you’re going to put a help wanted ad in the newspaper that asks people to go to your website to apply for this position, make sure the website has been updated,…

Looks like the site and all the info for Gnomedex 3 is live. Speakers aren’t listed yet, so I guess we’ll all have to stay tuned for that one. Still no idea whether I’ll be there or not. I’m job searching, I can’t guarantee anything more than a week or two out, really. It sort…

Pulled from Doc Searls today, is his writing about his son, Allen, who is working on a project called GlobeAlive. From Doc’s description: “It’s basically a ‘live’ search engine: one that finds human beings who might be available to answer questions in real time.” Read Doc’s “interview” with his son, check out the website and…

Saw a number of pointers to this post on jkOnTheRun: OneNote is one of the most capable programs I use and like all such versatile applications there are a lot of features and capabilities that I am sure I am not using. If you are a budding OneNote user or just trying to figure out…
