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!

    Prime example last week of why patching is sometimes a whole lot more complicated than it seems to be from the outside. Tuesday was patch day. For many of us in the Eastern Time Zone, who set Automatic Updates to pick up patches overnight, it’s really Wednesday for all intents and purposes. So Weds. would…

  • Last bit on SoBig

    Lots of folks are pitching a fit with MS over this bad boy, and certainly MS deserves some blame for the faults in their software. On the other hand, Outlook is getting better at recognizing dangerous attachments (at least the beta of 2003 seems to me to be better at it), it’s starting to not…

  • Atom

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Blogger now has the option of publishing in Atom instead of RSS. But, they don’t give you the option to produce both an RSS and an ATOM feed, just one or the other. So, unless they do, or unless someone convinces me that ATOM is that much better than RSS, I won’t be having an…

  • Strange looks

    That’s what my coworkers gave me today, when I told them of my after-work plans. I was making a trip over to my former employer’s to interview the consultant they are considering using to replace me as their emergency technical contact. Since they don’t have any IT people on staff, they needed me to meet…

  • Is Gmail doubling storage?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Given the date, I’m a little skeptical of everything I’m reading today. After reading about Kevin leaving In the Trenches I am on high alert for any kind of April Fool’s joke. But many people seem to think that Gmail is, in fact, upping the email storage. That’s cool with me. Guess I really didn’t…

  • Why filters suck

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I couldn’t get to my own child abuse site at the airport the other day. I’m sure they use some sort of filtering software, and I’m sure that it’s the same filtering software used by various schools and libraries. So, while it not being available from the airport is only a minor inconvenience, a kid…
