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. 🙂

    I’m back at work this morning after the three day weekend. It was a nice break, and we had a good time in DC over the weekend, although anytime you’re visiting the Holocaust Memorial, the Vietnam Wall and the many other memorials and tributes, it’s always a bit sobering. Especially considering I had never been…

I created this site because there’s simply a lack of help desk focused forums available. The best we currently have are IT forums that will…
