Insanely busy

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Not too much time to say anything. Just grabbing a quick bit to eat for lunch before launching back into the fray. Have already done this month’s billing, been on and off the phone countless times with our ISP trying to pin down the exact cause of SMTP connection failures, had a number of Symantec “alerts”, and the ensuing panic that users call me with to find out what to do because the AV told them they had a virus, and I’m now trying to get everyone to change one little setting that should correct the connection failures. Fun, fun….

I’ve always said that I wasn’t a good test subject to measure how effective any anti-trojan or spyware application is, so while I’ve kept a professional interest in the latest and greatest tools, I hadn’t been given a really good opportunity to try them out, until last week.

  • Wake up calls

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Hmm wasn’t it lovely of someone to call our house before 7AM today, and every 15 minutes thereafter, trying to send a fax through our voice line. Nothing like a good “fuck you” early on a Monday! Geek let me have a sneak peek at his subscriber-only article on the possible death of internet radio….

  • Attensa

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Among the many news items coming out of Gnomedex last week, I saw an announcement of a public preview for a new Outlook-based RSS reader, Attensa. So being ever so curious, I downloaded it this weekend. It’s actually not bad. It supports importing OPML, is pretty customizable, allows you to publish items to your blog…
