20 hours later

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So I got here this morning, and our internet connection was still down. The nice folks at the phone company did get it working just before 9AM, approximately 20 hours or so after they did something to cause the problem to begin with. Now everyone can get back to online shopping, online banking, sending personal emails, etc. (Seriously, I checked, those were the first things people used the return of the internet connection for. Ahh summertime in the world of legislative affairs!)

As for me, I’ll be catching up on Windows XP SP2 info, and the release of Firefox 0.9.1. Is it just me or does it seem like it 0.9 hasn’t been out long enough to even get used to and there’s an upgrade available already? 🙂

I’ve encouraged you all, to the best of your abilities, to try and understand what your users…

    I got an email earlier this week about an interesting new service put together by the people who gave us Numly, the service that lets you copyright your blog posts or other on-line content.

    We’re off in the morning (A 5:30 flight, ugh!) for a long weekend of site-seeing, exploring, photographing and eating our way around Philadelphia, with a one-day side trip up to N.Y.C. Needless to say, my involvement in the blogosphere will be minimal until Weds. or so, but I’ll be sure to have details, and photos…
