Easing in..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I ask you, is having your pseudo-ISP inform you that they’re switching all their email filtering stuff over to Postini, and that you have until the end of this short week to not only understand what that means, but get used to handling your own anti-spam and quarantine settings and teach everyone on staff about what that means and how to make their own choices on handling these things, any way to ease back into work after a long weekend?

I thought not..

That being said, I think this is going to be a good change, but there will be a significant adjustment to be made by my users and that usually brings a mixed bag of reactions, so I’m expecting the same. I’ll know more tomorrow when my Postini account goes live and I can get a feel for everything before turning over all the other accounts. Anyone ever used the Postini service? Your feelings?

    I see the full-feed/partial-feed debate has risen it’s ugly head again. Oh joy, just when I thought I might have missed something while I was toiling in the land of dialup at my in-laws all weekend, and then driving home today. Nope, same old crap. People with advertising, who are worried about the money they…

    Angela put up an album of pics from our Columbus Zoo trip this weekend. I have a follow up question to the daylight savings thing. Why do they then air the NCAA Men’s Championship game so late on a Monday night right after we’ve switched to DST? I realize that to those of you on…

    You want to work in IT? You might want to stretch first, so you can stay nimble. I have a long list of projects that need done this week. That list changed twice yesterday, one project being moved to next week, and another being added to this week. Today, that added project has been postponed…
