It’s still around

File this under the headline of “old hoaxes never die”. I’ve been dealing with the jdbgmgr.exe hoax this morning. Apparently, someone with another organization fell for this one and passed it on. You should see the “to” line of the email. There are more addresses there than I care to even guess at. Let me put it this way, using Outlook 2003, on an XP machine set to 1024×768 pixels, I have to scroll more than halfway through the message to get past the addresses. Nice.

    My wife is obviously on me to get some pics up but between being on dialup and using a laptop that doesn’t quite have the right video settings yet, they may have to wait, sorry! I hope this one will appease her. This was taken Monday from Dillon Marina on Lake Dillon. My friend Steve…

  • Trackbacks

    If you’re into that sort of thing, but use Blogger or some other weblogging tool that doesn’t do trackbacks, you have some options. You can use either SimpleTracks or the Stand Alone Trackback Form to manually ping web blogs that do support trackbacks. (links found on Robyn’s site, perhaps I’ll use this post to test…

  • Remote Calendars

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve written before about my reluctance to use Google Calendar because my whole schedule is in Outlook and I have used Yahoo’s for keeping my wife informed on my calendar because Google doesn’t have an easy way to synchronize with Outlook. I thought today when I saw a link to this post about Remote Calendars…
