Good grief. So many things needed tweaked or replaced or just fixed this week that I only really had time to put out fires up until today. Today, in between doing month-end database chores I’m trying to go back and document everything that happened earlier in the week in the helpdesk tracking DB, purchase some stuff to replace the emergency spare parts I like to have laying around that were called into duty this week (monitors mostly), do write-ups and document the product demo I sat through yesterday afternoon, answer email that got set aside during the week, and maybe, if I’m very good and very lucky, I’ll have an empty “to-do” list by 5 so I can start over fresh on Monday.

So if there’s been tech news out there, I assure you, I haven’t read the details enough to comment. 🙂

    I think what I feel about the launch, finally, of the new Friends of the Columbus Metro Library website, is a combination of both. I’m proud of the site, it’s not everything I wanted, but when you’re working with a designer and a committee, that’s to be expected. (Mostly, the big thing I think is…

    But all those folks who’ve been running to complain about Microsoft’s “new” policy regarding Windows Product Activation, please go read Ed Bott’s post about this and understand the news story might not have it exactly right, ok?

    So I checked the switch that conference room was connected to and the port is fine and dandy. I can plug my laptop into the port directly and it has no problem connecting to the network. This is not good. This may mean there’s trouble in the wiring in the walls of that room. I’m…

    Just an update on some things I’ve been doing. Angela already wrote about the Roomba, so I’ll leave that alone, other than to say, as a gadget type of guy, I’m fascinated by watching it work. (Of course, the whole point is that it works while you’re doing something else, so I need to break…
