Suggestions

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Back to a previous topic, I am seriously giving thought to doing something different with the photo albums. Does anyone have any suggestions for some photo album software that would be compatible with a Windows hosting environment? It can’t be based on MySQL, perhaps something is ASP using Access or PHP without using a database? That’d be sweet..

Also, if you’re interested, I took on some blatant propaganda being pushed by Michael Robertson about Office 2003 over at the Beta Notes blog this morning. It’s yet another example of someone with a blatant self-interest trying to scare people away from MS by distorting the truth. The sad thing is, so many so-called “experts” will read what he has to say and assume it’s true without having ever even installed a copy of Office 2003 for themselves. (Those of you on the email list probably already got that post, I posted it here first and then changed my mind and put it over there.)

    First off, yes I know that basically since I mentioned the support forums, THC’s site has been unreachable. It figures, like anything, the second you tell other people about it, it’s gone. 🙂 In other news, it’s an exciting time online, last night the email-to-blog feature for Blogger Pro went live, the Google API was…

    While there may be growth opportunities in blue-collar industries, you don’t suddenly become a plumber or electrician. It’s a long learning process that doesn’t scale well for that many unemployed people. This is reskilling at a massive, rapid scale, but we have to admit that whatever reskilling we’ve done in the past hasn’t been that good. 

    Do we expect what we’ve done before to ever match current and future needs? I don’t think it will, and that’s a problem that should be addressed. We need different, serious ideas, but I don’t see many of them out there. 

  • Holiday Party

    We survived my office holiday party last night. As they say back in my old neighborhood, there was no gun play so it was a good party! (No that’s not a trivial matter, there is quite a bit of animosity between various people in my office. *L*) Seriously though, the food was alright, (although Angela…

    One of my favorite things about living in South Carolina, especially now that I’ve been here awhile and have gotten used to things, are all of the great photo opportunities. Not only do we live close to the mountains, but with the mild weather, there aren’t long stretches of the year where you don’t get…

    Turns out the speed didn’t stay quite that high so the download will finish sometime this evening. No biggie, since the only CD-R’s I have in the office are 650MB anyway. I would have had to wait until I go home and grab a 700MB and burned tomorrow if it had finished by 5PM. 🙂…

  • Freeware

    Thanks to a pointer fro the Office Weblog, I found this interesting OS News article about using just freeware to get things done on a Windows PC. Most of that stuff is familiar to me, but some isn’t. That’ll give me some new things to think about. 🙂 Speaking of which, I need to update…
