Back from vacation

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Nothing like spending 4 days unconnected to any internet service, exploring the sights of Vegas and surrounding area with my wife as a way to celebrate our third anniversary. We had a great time, lots of laughs, lots of fun and took lots of pictures, which I’m sure we’ll have online some time soon. Of course, now it’s back to work. I’m already missing the Pacific time zone, 7AM came awfully early this morning, especially when our flight back got in at 11:30 last night. Now I just have to get caught up on a dozen or so emails that need a response, 1700 or so unread items in my Bloglines reading list, and a few basic techie tasks around the office. Luckily, it seems there weren’t any major problems while I was gone, so I should be able to get everything caught up by Friday, when I get into month-end reporting. Yipee. 🙂

    Picture this, it’s 11:45PM, the wife is soundly sleeping, I’m well on my way, when I hear my pager. It’s the work voice mail system paging me to let me know someone left me a voice mail. Someone leaving me a voice mail at 11:45PM cannot possibly be a good thing. I get up, go…

    Yeah I arrived back home Friday night, spent yesterday with my wife and some friends going to the Irish Festival and now, on Sunday, I’m back at work trying to install that replacement hard drive so I don’t have to try and do it while I deal with the 20 other things I have waiting…

    OK, seems that with the IP tweak blogger is working, and it also seems that the invalid character problem is fixed now too. (Note to self: be careful cutting and pasting quotes from other people’s blogs, sometimes they use funky characters!) Good, now I can finish up my work and get ready to head out…

    I’m a little tired today. I was up later than I should have been trying to fix a problem on Angela’s PC. Everything else on the PC works ok, but neither Outlook or Outlook Express wil open. They get to the splash screen and that’s it. I tried doing everything with Outlook last night, including…

    Has anybody else using Windows Live Writer to post to their blog noticed occasional slowdowns? Like when it’s autosaving a draft, and you’re typing, the program doesn’t keep up with you, and then fills in behind with what you had been typing once it recovers? For someone like me, who doesn’t type real well, it…
