Lesson learned

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ve been trying to help my brother-in-law setup comments on his new blog. He’s got a new job and decided he would start blogging about working with Cisco stuff. I uploaded all the aspcomments stuff to his site, and emailed him the cut/paste codes that needed to be added to the template.

Those of you who do a lot of coding probably know what happened next. Yeah the email client spaced the code incorrectly and I wound up getting his login info and adding them myself from the original code. Lesson learned. 🙂

    Gee and here I thought today was going to be better, only to have my landlord call and inform me that my rent is late, even though he cashed the check over a week ago! Then to top that off, when I went to my online banking to get the exact date he cashed it,…

    First off, the landlord called again this morning. They found where the check had been deposited, their mistake. *huge sigh of relief* An Open Offer to Utah State IT Employees -this is a good idea, let your people create blogs and share knowledge with each other, or even outside their organization. I’ve suggested the same…

    OK not really, it is Monday after all! But I figured I’d let you all in on the latest news surrounding this site. First, in old news the site for That Hosting Company is online again, with the simple message that there is a “Server Update in Progress, please check back in 60 minutes”. That…

    I did pick up a new system over the weekend, an AMD K7 1.4Ghz, 256MB PC133 RAM, 30GB Maxtor HDD, 10/100 NIC, 32MB shared Video RAM (really not that big a deal for what this machine is used for) for $299. The big selling point for this particular vendor was the 5 year warranty and…

    Linked: The Lonely, Pixelated Hell of Networking During the Pandemic

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Most of these sound awful, and the ones that are “not so voluntary” attempts to make sure workers are engaged sound even worse.

    Actually, I suspect they are doing a lot more harm to engagement than good.

    There are ways to network during this time. They’re different, they’re a little more work, and they take some getting used to. But they don’t need to be ridiculous, and they definitely don’t need to be forced.

    In fact, this is a great time to simply send someone a note asking for 15-30 minutes of their time. Most of us are pretty open to doing exactly that with coworkers or peers in our industry. I’d be happy to find some time to have a conversation with you about my industry, or mental health, or blogging. Or even to just have a coffee or beer with virtually. We don’t even need to be on our webcams if you don’t want.

    See, isn’t that better than having 50 people on mute while the CEO talks, or getting randomly matched with coworkers?

    Ugh, the introvert in me shudders to think about some of these. Please, don’t. Just ask someone to get a coffee like we used to.
