Memo

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m tired of writing memos. I think I’m currently constructing my 8th memo since Thursday, covering everything from staff interview notes about ethics, to email attachment policy, to requests for funds. You think working in IT is all about the glamour of putting PC’s and servers together, solving huge technical issues, etc.? Nope, most of the time it’s about boring, mundane things. Most of the time, when I do get to do something exciting, like setup a new server, it took half a dozen memos, and a handful of meetings just to get approval to do it!

    I got the first check from the CafePress store in the mail yesterday. It was for $26.30, which, when combined with the $14-15 I’ve got coming from the Amazon links at the end of the year will make a nice little donation to Prevent Child Abuse. Of note, yes I have decided to go ahead…

    Where else can you read an intricate analysis of Mariner first basemen’s ball tossing habits , followed closely in my RSS feeds by Doc’s entries from yesterday, including a detailed analysis of the Ford Mustang as less than useful and a story of a guy pissing all over a bathroom stall?

    So today, the download site is finally working, and after getting the new drivers and even getting the updated kernel (2.4.18-24) for Red Hat 8.0, the network card still doesn’t work! All I get is a “device does not seem to be present” error whenever I try to start the network on eth0. The integrated…

    Convinced that maybe Access just plain isn’t going to support 18 digit blogid’s, I did try a couple of new commenting systems with the new blogger version while I ate my lunch. CGIcomments completely didn’t work. Again, probably it’s handling the blog_id as a number and choking on 18 digits. xcomments worked, sort of. I…
