It’s one thing to have to help people around the office with their PC issues, it’s quite another when it’s your PC having the problems. My news aggregator of choice is having some technical difficulties. Something in one of the feeds I’m subscribed to is making it crash on opening and the only fix is to delete all the content, import back in my OPML file, and renew all the news items, which of course makes everything appear new and unread! As if that wasn’t bad enough, it seems to then go back to crashing if I shut it down after I get all the feed items again.

This is no way to read tech news…

    I meant to write this last night, but I took Nyquil for a cold and spent the night in bed, so I never quite go around to it. 🙂 I did, finally, get the AV stuff installed on my machine as the server and the new desktop as client, pulling the definitions from my machine….

    See here’s the thing. Angela was out of town so from the time I left work on Friday at 5 until 9 Saturday morning, when I logged into Skype for the Tech Chat, I hadn’t actually spoken to anyone or tried to form a coherent sentence. I haven’t listened to it yet, but I’m assuming…
