Waiting and watching

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So XP SP2 has released to manufacturing. I’m going to be keeping a careful eye on reactions, issues, breakage, etc. for the next few days. Hopefully after I’ve had a few days to see what everyone else is experiencing with this, I’ll go get it myself and start testing on our network. Luckily there are only 5 XP machines, including my own, currently on our network, so I can take my time a little bit and make sure it’s all under control before rolling it out to the other 4 machines, and then making sure it gets added to any new machines that come in later this year. (Yeah we’re a bit behind the times on our OS choices, what else is new?)

Here looks like a good place to start, and the SP2 forums probably have a wealth of info!

    Here’s the situation. We have 3 scanners in the office, hooked to 3 machines. Two are setup in offices of people who use them quite often, and get the scanning done for just about all of the office. The third is in my office, and rarely ever gets used. (I’m not even clear on why…

    Yes I did, finally, upgrade the Child Abuse blog to MT 3.11. I listed the reasons why over on that site, so I won’t get into all the details of comment spam again over here. The upgrade was pretty painless, and the upgrade of MT-Blacklist wasn’t too bad either. Both allow for a lot more…

    Apparently I’m not the only one who thinks Office 11 only being available to Windows 2000 and XP isn’t a big deal. Kevin has an interesting post about how the IT department is always an after thought. I’m sure we could all tell some stories about that! Pocket PC Thoughts has a bunch of stuff…

    It was a nice 4 day weekend, even though we spent all but the few hours we were at my parents Christmas Day inside the house. It’s still cold and icy here in Columbus, but they are promising us warmer weather starting tomorrow, so maybe some of this ice will, finally, start to melt! I…
