I knew it was going too well

See, I got that PC setup yesterday, and it didn’t take nearly as long as I thought it would, this particular PC didn’t have nearly as many “extras” to uninstall. The guy doesn’t start until Monday, I knew plenty in advance, enough so that I had time to order and setup the PC, and enough in advance that I could get our ISP to include his account when they were setting up Postini for us. Being that far ahead of the game has to be some sort of record for this place.

It was going amazingly well, right up to where I entered his email information in Outlook. Then, it wasn’t going so well. So now I’m doing the rounds with their helpdesk, and their email admins, waiting for them to tell me why the password they sent me is being rejected by the server. Here’s hoping we have an actual, working email account before Monday.

    OK after the firestorm that blew through my own brain this morning, that was referenced in the last post, I’m mentally moving on now. After careful reflection, I don’t see any reason to stop what I’m doing now in regards to allowing THC customers to communicate with each other in the forums. It’s a public…

    I was listening to this weekend’s Tech Chat about Time Management the other day, and thinking about how what those guys were talking about applied to what I’m doing. Things here in my small, small office are a bit different, for a number of reasons. Some of the systems that they were talking about makes…

    Pulled from today’s version of the Langa List could be the answer to something that I’ve been meaning to look at more closely. Basically the situation is this, some of the news and political organizations we deal with have their media stuff available on their websites. Some of them are Windows Media, some are Real…
