And the beat goes on..

For something like the 5th straight year, our summer intern showed up today, with no advanced notice given anyone in the IT Department (me), again! For an even extra-added bonus, this year he showed up two days before our Annual Meeting, which, of course, means that all of our extra equipment, and some not so extra equipment, is in the process of being packed up to be used at said event.

“Welcome aboard, I might have a computer for you sometime Thursday.”

Sounds so professional and competent, doesn’t it?

    I guess the new addition of the TableEditor turned out to be a double-edged sword last night. Yes, someone did leave a comment that was nothing more than “come visit my blog” with a link, and yes I did delete it. Unfortunately, I also left a comment by Anita that referred to said spam comment,…

    As my wife described last night, after about 11 hours of travelling back from Virginia, including a couple of stops, I arrived home to news that our file and database server at work was dead. We quickly unloaded the car and I loaded back into it to go off to the office, where I discovered…

    Some things I noticed this morning in my blog reading: I’m not the only one having trouble with hotels. Jenny is dealing with a hotel that promised her high speed internet access, but doesn’t really have it. How do you get that wrong? You either have it or you don’t. On the good news front,…
