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!

    By the way, the outage was not planned, someone screwed up when they were doing some router upgrades. I can’t complain because the email server definitely does seem much faster today than it had been! Besides, I don’t have the time, nor the bandwidth, to tell you about all the times I went to “upgrade”…

    Inspired by Phil’s little rant: “Most weblog comment systems convert a single return into a break tag, and two returns into a paragraph. If yours does not, that’s something unusual, and you need to tell people, before they submit a comment that they expect to be several paragraphs long, only to find that they’ve submitted…

    Or, Free at last, free at last, everything over there is NLMP. (No longer my problem!) Yes, it’s true. Yesterday, 6 months after leaving the job, I finally turned in my keys to the building and said sayonara to my former employer. I feel liberated, like a giant weight has been lifted. Looking back it’s…

  • Dell recall

    So how many of the laptops you support have had their batteries recalled? We have 12 pool laptops and it looks like 6 of them will need to be replaced. Dell’s site reported that it would take about 2 weeks to get the replacements, but I imagine it might really take loner given the size…
