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 officially switched the RSS Feed over to the new BloggerPro version of it, since it came out of Beta and into production. Now if you click the little “XML” image on the right side, you’ll go to that feed instead of the old one. The old one will continue to work for now, but…

  • Important issues

    Last night I listened to the latest In the Trenches podcast. Kevin and his guest, Chuck Tomasi were discussing a number of issues that I feel strongly about, and have been reminded of recently in my own workplace.
