Ugh, I hate that!

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I hate it when there’s a conference room full of people, one of our folks is all ready to do a presentation using our website and suddenly, for no obvious reason, the network port in there just seems to die. Luckily I have a 100 foot Ethernet cable so I just ran the connection over to the next room and put them back in business, but at some point I’m going to have to figure out why that port stopped responding all of the sudden. Here’s hoping it a bad port on the switch, which I can route around, and not something “in the walls”, which gets a tad more complicated, especially since we don’t have those fake floors and ceilings. The cabling is, literally, in the walls!

Sheesh next thing…

    I was thinking last night for a little bit about that EULA for Windows 2000 SP3, and some things occurred to me that I hadn’t thought of before. Now I’ll probably get flamed like hell for saying this, but after I got over the original knee-jerk reaction, I could see why Microsoft is doing this….

    Yeah, I installed Max this evening. This is Microsoft’s new photo-sharing tool. At this point the only real advantage to this as opposed to just having a Flickr list and sharing it with people is the ability to do a couple of funky things with displaying photos as they would look framed on a mantle,…
