Life in IT

Some days you’re sitting here and everything’s working well, no one really is hitting you up with requests and you’re almost, dare I say it, a little bored. Other days, well, many things don’t work and everyone needs something from you now, and you just don’t see how you can possibly get to everything. Needless to say, every day since coming back from vacation (including last Sunday, and this past Friday night!) has been in the latter group.

  • Blogging as public speaking

    Aaron has posted a few thoughts, comparing his efforts to improve on public speaking to the efforts on improving his writing via his weblog.

  • Access and bad news

    The good news? I do have ‘net access in class. The bad news? While surfing towards the end of our lunch break I discovered that the Child Abuse site’s been suspended. I don’t have any idea why, and I don’t have the contact information for the host with me. Of course I also noticed that…

Apparently it adds and automatically checks a checkbox on your Tools/Options/Security tab that tells OE to “Not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.” Nice idea, but the “potential virus” attachments I just tested it with, a…
