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…

This is also the show that came with a follow up story about Chris Pirillo’s favorite blogs, in which…

    I was listening to the latest In The Trenches earlier today, and found myself nodding my head in agreement when Kevin was talking about knowing someone’s being let go and having to disable accounts as it’s happening. It is easily one of the worst parts of the job. It’s a sickening feeling knowing someone’s going…

    Scoble pointed to this story about the possibility of a Pocket PC pricewar just in time for Christmas. Given all the discussion we’ve had around here concerning PocketPC and Palm, it’s probably worth noting to someone planning to buy me a Christmas gift. 🙂 By the way, I think the deciding factor between PocketPc and…
