Happy St. Patrick’s Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m at work now with my green on, and a handful of Irish CD’s ready to listen to all day. (Flogging Molly, Black 47, Prodigals, Young Dubliners, Seven Nations, etc. Couldn’t find the Pogues or Dropkick Murphy’s CD’s this morning.) Must be St. Patrick’s Day! The only thing missing is a Guinness to sip on while I work. Think my boss would go for that? 😉

As most of you know from reading my sites, I very closely identify myself with my Irish heritage. I’ve spent a lot of time studying Irish history, as well as the history of Irish-Americans. I have a great respect for the people of Ireland and all that they, and the early immigrants to America, have had to overcome. Yet with all the sadness, tragedy and hardships they’ve had to endure, you’ll find no group of people who enjoy everything life has to offer any more than the Irish. Take today to follow their example and enjoy all the good things in your life!

Hope everyone out there has a good, and safe, day!

    Reading some of Ace the IT Job Interview I came across this little nugget in a section about what not to do when you’re sending an IT resume through email: “Never use an inappropriate email address like foxylady@hotmail.com. And never, never use an AOL account. It absolutely screams technophobe.” Hehe.. Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    So I’m giving Mailwasher a trial run, to see how it handles spam and stuff. My first impression is that it’s fairly cool, just having the ability to bounce emails is going to be fun. But the big functionality, at least to me, is the promised support for Hotmail accounts that’s coming in the next…

    I’ve been away from the PC most of the weekend and just catching up now, so you may know about the new Gmail features already, but I just want to say, I’ve been waiting and waiting for the ability to export my contacts, so I’m one happy dude now that it’s here. Tags: Gmail Follow…

    OK guys, who’s with me on this one? It’s totally not cool to give your husband cold medicine and then mess with his mind just to see how much of an effect the medicine is having. It’s just not nice at all… On the other hand, trying to skim a bunch of items in Bloglines…
