Long Day

Left the house at 8AM, hit the road to Dayton for the ITEC conference left there at 4, made it home in time to change shirts and head out for a quick dinner on the way to the Columbus Zoo’s member preview of Winter Wildlights. At least the work pager didn’t go off, so at least nothing there to worry about in the morning. 🙂

ITEC conference wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Saw a couple of interesting products but between things not starting on time, speakers not showing up for sessions, and a somewhat lacking crowd of attendees, I have my doubts about the future of these conferences. They’ve already gone from having one in Dayton, one in Columbus and one in Cleveland to having just the one in Dayton this year, and with the problems that I saw just on the second day, I can’t imagine it’s been very successful event. Oh well, it was a day out of the office looking at technology, that’s never a bad thing!

  • Major work day

    Today’s the day we invoice a good 1/3 of our all of our members. I’m going to be quite tied up with running and printing our billing reports this morning. It should make the day fly because I’m busy, but it’s not necessarily the most mentally challenging work ever. There’s just a lot of it!…

    Remember last week when I told you I was going to check out PC Inspector File Recovery? Well this morning, I was able to succesfully recover files off a damaged floppy disk for a co-worker using it. That is what I call useful! Upon further reflection though, I notice that it won’t let me recover…

  • MT 2.66

    According to the announcement, it seems this maintenance release is mostly about trying to combat comment spam. Good idea! Of course, I haven’t even managed to find the time to upgrade the Child Abuse site to 2.65, let alone 2.66. I’m now two releases behind, gah! I’ve got some work to do! Follow these topics:…
