Hmmm

You ever have on of those days that makes you wonder why you ever thought working with technology was a good idea? Anyone have any jobs that I could do that don’t involved dealing with users, vendors, or hosting companies? That would be sweet..

By the way, this is the first time I’ve actually been able to reach blogger’s servers to post all day. The other site is back, sort of. I’ve put back a backup copy of the forums from a couple of weeks ago, so some stuff is missing, but I’m having great difficulty getting Movable Type to cooperate, along with a couple of other, smaller bugs in the site setup. I assume I’ll have to go and do a full reinstall of MT tonight and tomorrow to get it working, ugh!

And I haven’t even told you about the work problems, those details will be left secret because it’s just another rant about users that you’ve all heard a billion times. *L*

    In the interest of being thorough, (and in providing service to the 4% 2.68% (to be exact) of my site visitors that use a Mac,) a Mac news aggregator freeware program became available. It’s called NetNewsWire Lite 1.0b2, from Brent Simmons. Early reviews are positive but, not having a Mac myself, I can’t really verify…

  • Windows NT 4

    As someone who still works with NT 4.0 servers in my professional life, I wasn’t thrilled when MS didn’t come up with a patch for an RPC vulnerability. On the other hand, I already have our NT 4.0 server behind a firewall with port 135 blocked, so it’s really not that big a deal. I…

  • Figures

    The site has been working pretty consistently, but of course the one time I write a really long post and hope for some folks to go to my my wife’s blog and wish her a happy birthday the site goes down for 12 hours! So don’t think you’re too late because the entreaty was written…

  • A sign

    When you work in IT for awhile you start to learn to read the signs. Today, I saw one of them, and thought I’d pass along the insight. When your boss heads into your office carrying a pile of IT product marketing materials, you my friend, are about to do a LOT of reading and…
