OpenOffice 1.1 available

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

According to this article the new version of Open Office is available for download. I tried out 1.0 a long while back and found it a little too limiting for what I use Office for, I wonder if it’s worth a look at the new one? Might make an interesting comparison to the Office 2003 I’ve been beta-testing. I probably won’t have time to look closely at it for a little while but it may turn into a project as the weather gets colder, and the weekends get less occupied.

    Am I the only one having this problem? When I use the BlogThis! button on the Google toolbar in IE, the link is formatted incorrectly. For example, if I were to use that to link to yahoo.com, I wind up with a link to http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/http://www.yahoo.com. I then have to go back and retype the HTML…

  • Blogging as public speaking

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Aaron has posted a few thoughts, comparing his efforts to improve on public speaking to the efforts on improving his writing via his weblog. It’s an interesting comparison because in some ways they are similar. When you speak publicly you are using words to communicate thoughts and ideas to people, trying to educate, persuade, and…

    So after another eventful Monday at work, mostly with routine junk, email updates, and Staff Meetings that are normal for Mondays, I went home with even more work to do. No, I didn’t give Red Hat another try. After that debacle I needed to actually accomplish something, so I started work on the Job Search…
