Interesting reading for today…

Confessions of a cyberchondriac -I could see this happening, people self diagnose all the time. With all that medical information online it’s a gold mine for people who do that! That being said, the last time I did a bunch of online medical research was in between an initial diagnosis by my doctor and an ultrasound that showed him to be correct and having the online information gave me a good way to get information about what it was, and why it wasn’t what I had feared. (Warning, if you follow those links and think to yourself “wow that’s more information about Mike then I ever wanted”, well you were warned..*L*)

Also, in an unrelated article, this looks interesting in that “trolling for attention” sort of way, but it may have some slivers of truth to it, so I’ll read it later…..

    I installed the new Google Toolbar yesterday on my work machine. I have made a somewhat half-hearted attempt to use IE a bit more than usual, but not a whole lot more since then, just to see how many popups it blocks. As of 1:30 this afternoon the count is 42. So I wonder, exactly…

    Convinced that maybe Access just plain isn’t going to support 18 digit blogid’s, I did try a couple of new commenting systems with the new blogger version while I ate my lunch. CGIcomments completely didn’t work. Again, probably it’s handling the blog_id as a number and choking on 18 digits. xcomments worked, sort of. I…

    ubuntuscreen Originally uploaded by mikemac29. Yes, that’s the Ubuntu Virtual Machine loading in the VMWare Player on my laptop. So far, so good on using it, being able to mount the Windows shares from my laptop and work on things. The only things that bug me right now are that I can’t seem to open…

  • Early birthday

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I got so busy yesterday that I forgot to mention that my lovely wife picked up my birthday present a couple of weeks early over the weekend. Since we have thousands of digital photos sitting on the hard drive of my desktop machine at home, and I worry about the ability to back them up…

    Beth is back blogging at a new locale. Those of you who were at Gnomedex last year know who Beth is, since she spoke. The rest of you will just have to go this year and meet her. (Thanks to Doc for the pointer.) Speaking of Gnomedex 3, I also see where Scoble’s going to…
