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.

    Saw a number of pointers to this post on jkOnTheRun: OneNote is one of the most capable programs I use and like all such versatile applications there are a lot of features and capabilities that I am sure I am not using. If you are a budding OneNote user or just trying to figure out…

    I was going to point you in the direction of the Online Blog’s write-up of Steve Job’s MacExpo keynote, or tell you about the HP employees getting suspended for passing around porn on their PC’s (how dumb do you have to be?), all with appropriate pithy comments, but that was before I got a message…
