Proof positive

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last week, we talked about how much people listen to outside IT people compared to internal people. Remember that?

This morning we have exhibit #1:

I got an email from one of my users. One of his business contacts had forwarded him an email about virus warnings that she had gotten from their IT Department. My user forwarded that to me with the message “I thought you might find their IT guy’s comments interesting”. I should give him credit for wanting to be helpful and pass along information that maybe I didn’t have, but I can’t.

The comments covered the same topic that I’ve covered with everyone here at least 2-3 times.

    Stephen Gielda has a nice little article about internal system security, and stresses how the weakest link in network security is inside your office, not outside. Monday for me has been rather uneventful. Staff Meeting this morning didn’t even ruin my mood for the day like it has consistently the last few times we’ve had…

    So you know I spent most of yesterday packing up equipment. Then last night, as Angela has said already, her PC had a hard drive crash, and we spent the evening rearranging the equipment in our office and moving the Mac into the office. I spent this morning helping load stuff into cars, and then…

    After about 11 hours on the road I arrived in Denver in time to watch the sunset over the mountains from my hotel room window. Yeah I think I’m going to have a good time taking pictures for a few days. Excuse me if I don’t blog much, but I will have pics when I…

  • Flickr Question

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I setup a Flickr account, not so much because I’m going to change how I display my traveling photos, but because I needed someplace to store pictures that go along with my posts to the 2guys2cities blog. My question is, when I use Flickr to post to a blog, is there any way to save…
