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?

    Linux piracy?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is starting to get interesting. Is there proprietary Unix code inside of Linux and are all Linux users pirates?

    Saw this over at Mike Sanders blog today: “Three observations after reading current blog entries: 1) The logic and intelligence a person has in one area does not usually transfer to other domains. 2) Personal bias, not intellect or logic, is the number one determinant on the conclusion a person will reach. 3) Blogging is…

Apparently, only the Standard Toolbar linked on the download page is compatible with the 1.0 release but hopefully the specialized ones will be soon. I might just have to take…

    I admit, I do have an East Coast food bias. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. There is no better pizza, there is no better place to get a bagel and there is no snack-cake product for sale here in the Midwest that can take the place of Drakes Cakes for me. How much does…

  • LeBron Mania

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    First off, let me just say, I’m really not the world’s biggest basketball fan, it’s no hockey. But I couldn’t help but notice that the “LeBron James era” started last night. Now, keeping in mind that the Cavs are the closest thing we have to a local NBA team, would you be surprised to know…
