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. 🙂

    I got an email earlier this week about an interesting new service put together by the people who gave us Numly, the service that lets you copyright your blog posts or other on-line content.
