IT tip of the week

From Alex Scoble: Don’t pack rat!

This is a good idea. Here’s an example, I started this job and moved into this office about 6 years ago. The person who held this postion previously, was a big time pack rat. I have never been able to fully divest myself of some of his stuff. I was so new to IT that I figured if he kept it, there must of been a reason. Six years later I still have cables, and disks and manuals that I have never used in my office. Less than I used to, but there are still some lying around. Maybe I’ll actually be rid of all of them by the time I leave here. 🙂

    Yawn..

I’ve been wanting to give the Virtual Machines more RAM to work with, and finally, the computer store near me had a couple of PC100 256MB…

    Yeah I know, posting’s been a little light, and sort of dull the past two days. I was actually out of the office yesterday, nursing a migraine/tension headache by sleeping most of the day.

  • What did I miss?

    Various stuff I noticed while catching up: Walmart now has the Microtel PC’s with Mandrake. Now, this may prove to be more of an in-road to the consumer market than the Lindows version was, since Lindows isn’t even a finished OS yet! It’ll be interesting to see if this catches some market share or if…
