I met up with my wife for lunch today. The food was provided free by the East Tennessee State Alumni Association. She’s an alum. The team is staying two blocks from my work, which is where they had their pregame pep rally type event this morning. They are in town to take on Cincinnati in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

I’m not an alum but I will be rooting hard for ETSU this afternoon. (In between my busy work projects, of course *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*) I’ll be rooting for them because, well it will make my wife happy if they win, they just gave me a free lunch, being an Ohio State fan, saying “Go Bucks” and rooting against Cincy comes pretty naturally anyway, even if it is “Bucs” (Buccaneers) instead of “Bucks” (Buckeyes), and did I mention the free food, and the happy wife? Yeah, you see what I’m saying…

Go Bucks Bucs!

How can this be? I think my biased assumption was that experts know how to use…

    Yes, back in the office. Vacation was great, I was able to visit a lot of neat places, learn a lot of history and take in some Deep South culture in just a week’s time or so. It was very nice to spend a week away from the news, away from most technology, outside of…

  • Why?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I have a question, when you’re switching from using Outlook Express 6 to Outlook 2000, why does Outlook refuse to import message rules that are incompatible with older versions of Outlook? At least I think that’s what happened, when I imported the message rules, all of the “mail from specified account” rules didn’t import, and…
