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? 🙂

    OK, this isn’t really marketing per se, but it is somewhat bad customer service, so here’s a free clue. If you’re a local, or in this case a regional, camera store, and you’re going to try and repackage a 1GB SD card that had been returned, you might want to take a minute and delete…

  • Weekend plans

    I’m not sure what’s in store for the weekend just yet, so I don’t know if I’ll be keeping up with technology or not! Tomorrow (Feb 23rd) is Angela’s 25th birthday, so the weekend’s plans are entirely up to her, what ever she wants! I’ve been thinking long and hard about what to write in…

  • A simple upgrade

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I got some details on what went wrong with the email on both sites and Movable Type on the other site over the last few days. Seems the hosting company did a Perl upgrade over the weekend, but did not include all the same modules in the upgrade as had existed in the previous version….

    After a lovely meal of fajita’s and El Salvadoran Beer, prepared by my wonderful, recipe collecting wife, I’ve managed to finish writing Part 2 of the Free News Aggregator Showdown this evening. Go have a look at the new, updated information. New versions called for a whole new look at things, and there has been…
