Ethics, ethics, ethics..

Yup, I’m knee deep in this ethics policy that we’re working on. Spending my days doing staff interviews, reading through details of example codes of conduct, workplace policies, employee handbooks, etc. Not much tech stuff to report on, so not much to say that pertains to the blog right now.

I will say that I installed the new version of Firefox on my laptop last night. I really, really hate losing all my extensions when I upgrade like that. If I had one recommendation to the Firefox team, it would be to find a way to “upgrade in place” instead of going the uninstall the old version, install the new version, route. That way I could keep preferences, bookmarks, and extensions without going through extra steps. Just a thought. Other than that, in limited use thus far, obviously, I like it. The way the menus are more like IE, it’ll make it easier for people to switch, and the new default theme doesn’t bother me that much. I’m more interested in seeing what’s on the page than I care about what the browser toolbar looks like anyway!

  • It’s 2006!

    Hard to believe another year has passed. So many things have changed that it’s hard to imagine what I was doing last year at this time was only a year ago, but at the same time, it’s also hard to believe this is the 5th new year I’ve welcomed in with my wife since our…

    Yeah, it’s Weds. morning and I’m back at the office. Vacation’s over. 🙁 Lots of things to get caught up on before blogging gets back to normal. I’ve got about a week’s worth of tech newsletters to get through, a bunch of email to respond to, month-end reporting to do, and, of course, I’ve gotta…

    I re-learned two important IT lessons today. One occurred after we got up this morning to take a trip to the Zoo. I had gotten a new camera bag for my birthday, and spent a fair amount of time fitting the Nikon D50 into the bag, along with the extra zoom lens, and a few…
