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?

    Picked up this story at Download Squad the other day, about a Firefox Extension that will run an Internet Explorer engine inside one of your Firefox tabs. This is kinda cool if, like me, you work some place that uses Outlook Web Access, which runs much smoother in IE, or has an intranet site that…

    Hey, there’s a new patch, I think, that fixes the Yahoo “problem”. I’ve been away all day so I don’t know the details but I know I couldn’t connect to Yahoo yesterday, I went and looked for an update today, installed it, and now I can connect to Yahoo. Where have I been all day?…

    I finally, after spending most of the last two nights and my lunch hour today, have MT installed, configured, tweaked and the entries all put back for the child abuse site. Some stuff is still broken, some stuff will remain broken, existing comments are gone, etc. Some stuff is better. Thanks to a link at…
