I’m back

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yes, back in the office. Vacation was great, I was able to visit a lot of neat places, learn a lot of history and take in some Deep South culture in just a week’s time or so. It was very nice to spend a week away from the news, away from most technology, outside of my laptop and digital cameras, away from work, just living and doing things I enjoy, being out in the world, exploring! Most importantly, I was reminded of how important it is to be doing these things while we can when I returned home to news that one of the guys I lived with in a big house near the OSU campus circa 1987-88, died last week of diabetes complications. It just goes to show that life’s too short to not take the time to enjoy more of it.

Pics will be forthcoming, hopefully within the next few days. In the meantime, as a way of trying to get caught up, consider this a list of things in my aggregator that I want to look at when I have more time..:)

Pop-up Technology Improves -I knew the Google toolbar’s effectiveness had gone down.

Never Cross somebody in IT -Heh..

The Witty Worm, a new chapter in malware.

    I meant to write this last night, but I took Nyquil for a cold and spent the night in bed, so I never quite go around to it. 🙂 I did, finally, get the AV stuff installed on my machine as the server and the new desktop as client, pulling the definitions from my machine….

    Good morning! I spent a good chunk of last night setting up the comments for my Brother-in-Law’s wedding site. It wasn’t terribly difficult and my wife appreciated it, which makes the effort worthwhile, in my book. :). Someone at work found a dead bat laying on the top of a box of invoices in our…

    John Udell has written a story about Personal RSS Aggregators. He takes a very professional and journalistic approach to describing all of the available options, but frankly, I don’t think he ever installed and ran any of them beyond Radio. Most of the descriptions are standard website fodder, with no real details on what it…

    By the way, like I said before, I wasn’t going to say anything about the controversy about Autolink until I had actually seen it working myself. I have now, and while I’m not in love with it, I just can’t seem to get all that worked up about it. Here’s why: – It only changes…
