Random things

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

The child abuse site seems to be stuck in the middle of a dispute between the hosting company and the reseller who originally donated the space to me. Actually all of the sites he manages are stuck in the same fight, so it’s not just me. I talked to him last night and basically told him to worry about his paying customers first, so it may be down all weekend while he gets those other folks up and running. Of course, I don’t have the most recent changes backed up so maybe I’ll just start over with something completely new and different over there. I’ll keep you posted!

I missed my news aggregator yesterday. I’d forgotten how much work it is to use another computer and try to find all those links and things. I didn’t get to look at even a quarter of the stuff I normally do on a weekday.

The first thing I ran into this morning was an unclean coffee pot. I know I’m not the only person who cleans it at the end of the day normally, but it seems like everytime I’m out, it doesn’t get done. I refused to make coffee this morning. Someone else can clean it and make it!

Yeah, I’m grumpy, sue me!

    You know what really makes me angry. It’s someone sending me a huge attachment when I only have dialup going and then turning around and discovering that the attachment is their resume, that they obviously were sending to a purchased spammer address list, because this isn’t even a business, let alone one that is advertising…

    If you worked in sales for a relatively large, classroom computer-training company, and you had to make sales calls to IT people would you make any of those calls before 9AM? It’s not like I want to hear from you ever, let alone when I’m still working on my first cup of coffee! Follow these…

    It’s about time for the great unveiling of the new name of this blog. As you’ll recall I asked for suggestions and promised to give away a PC World subscription to the person who’s suggestion I used. Naturally, it turned out to be a bit more complicated than that. Two people sent in suggestions that…

    This morning, after a doctor’s appointment, I was greeted by a frightened employee worried about what might show up in her Internet History. It seems that she wanted to check a prices on something at a sporting soods store and inverted two of the letters in the name, when she typed the URL. That new…

    Well talk about an Easter surprise, I logged in this morning to find an email from Andrew, one of the developers for Newzcrawler. Seems he read my little write up and wanted me to send him some examples of the problem I am having with permalinks so that he could look into providing a fix….
