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?

    Related to the last post, I found a copy of the latest issue of Consumer Reports in the office and took a peek at their ratings. They rate a Gateway number 1, Toshiba 2nd, IBM 3rd and a Dell 4th, with the Dell being the “best buy” because it’s 400-600 dollars cheaper than the others….

    We spent the weekend visiting with Angela’s parents, but also got to spend quite a bit of time getting history lessons. On Saturday, despite the 90 plus degree heat, I spent part of the afternoon watching a Civil War skirmish re-enactment. (Yeah, I have the sunburn to show for it.) It was quite fascinating to…

    I’ve complained about it when it doesn’t happen, so I guess I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. We have a new employee starting on Dec. 2, and I already know her name and where she’s going to work and what levels of access she needs. Will wonders never cease? 🙂 Follow these…

    Consider this fair warning if you’re thinking of working in IT. While I can’t get into the specifics of this situation, suffice it to say that somewhere along the line in your IT career you’ll be in the middle of this situation. It involves a former employee, a security policy breach (among other reasons why…

  • Thoughts for the weekend

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Random cantankerous thoughts that I’ve thought this week: People who feel the need to remind you how open minded they are, aren’t. It’s probably time to bail when the association you work for decides that the very core of what it does, isn’t something they can sell to people and their own marketing people start…

  • That was quick

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yes, as someone pointed out in the comments, the new domain did go live last night, probably close to 12 hours from when I first registered it. That’s pretty quick service, if I do say so myself. 🙂 Anyway, for the moment all that is there is an exact copy of the current Child Abuse…
