Watch those typos

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This morning, after a doctor’s appointment, I was greeted by a frightened employee worried about what might show up in her Internet History. It seems that she wanted to check a prices on something at a sporting soods store and inverted two of the letters in the name, when she typed the URL. That new word was a whole different sort of site from what she was looking for, and what would be considered work appropriate. Needless to say a quick accident like that, while it would grab my attention, wouldn’t result in a problem so long as you immediately left that site. Several hits to that site, on the other hand, I might have to report. 🙂

    Sometime over the weekend, the number of people who subscribe to this blog using Bloglines hit 100. Now, I realize that isn’t a big total compared to some other places, however the significance of it, for me, is that is just about the same number of actual visits to the page on a daily basis….

  • Sparks fly

    Yes, first thing this morning, sparks flew, and I had to lug monitors around the office to replace the shorted one before I even had my first cup of coffee. Not the way I like to start my day. Heavy lifting in the morning is no good for me. 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized
