Problems, problems

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So the laptops were all set to roll out today. The guys using the current ones had PS/2 keyboard and/or mice attached to their old ones, and since these new ones don’t have a PS/2 port, I went out yesterday and picked up a couple of Belkin USB Dual PS/2 adapters. The package comes with just the adapter and a nice “No drivers needed” message. When I hook it up to the laptop, I get an unrecognized USB device error and when I look at it further, it asks me to install the driver for this new hardware. That’s what I like, nice and simple peripherals!

    Yesterday I spent probably two hours discussing a change that we’re doing at work. In layman’s terms, one of our employees is moving into a newly created position with another entity that is a “partner” of ours. He’ll work for them, but still be our employee, work out of our offices and have an email…

    Picture this, it’s 11:45PM, the wife is soundly sleeping, I’m well on my way, when I hear my pager. It’s the work voice mail system paging me to let me know someone left me a voice mail. Someone leaving me a voice mail at 11:45PM cannot possibly be a good thing. I get up, go…

    OK, so Brian commented that I’d probably get much more use out of a full-blown Pocket PC like the iPaq than I would a PDA. I tend to agree with him on that, and that’s really what I’ve been leaning toward if I decide to get something like this. In fact, I can think of…

    I made it home late Friday night. Got a late start from KC and then an unfotunate meeting between a Saturn and a school bus on I-70 in downtown St. Louis created hovac with traffic long enough to turn this trip into something quite a bit longer than I expected it to be. No biggie,…

    Yesterday I was out, took a vacation day rather than dealing with the snow. Today I’m being buried in a different way, under MyDoom emails coming into our accounts. Someone that we deal with quite a lot has gotten bit by this thing big time! I guess it’s time to figure out who. Follow these…

  • So Scoble IS a Corporate shill afterall!

    In response to my previous comment, Scoble had this to say: “Of course I am, if I am posting stuff about NEC (and anytime I write about NEC you should take my writings as such). But, yesterday, I was not writing about NEC’s tablet per se. Just the Tablet experience.” Subtle difference, but I’m not…
