Reset

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I didn’t realize how much of my time would be spent this week resetting passwords. Not network passwords, passwords to the Postini email quarantines. Seems that our service was upgraded, and moved to another server. Naturally the new server didn’t recognize the cookies that were set by the old server so all those folks who had checked the “remember my password” box had to login again. I didn’t realize how many people had done that, and now have no idea what their password is.

    In the comments for that last post we’ve been discussing the possibility of adding the comment link into the RSS feed item, so that you could click a link in your aggregator to leave a comment and skip the whole “Going to the site” thing.

    I set a new personal record today. Actually, 4 people in out department set new personal records today. We all spent some of the day today working on a laptop, a laptop that was by far the worst case of virus/spyware infection that any of us have ever personally witnessed. Toward the end of the…

    Angela ordered the Dell Axim X5/400Mhz for my Christmas present. This is pretty much going against my very firmly held belief about all things tech related. That is, never be an early adopter, let someone else be the guinea pig. But in this case, the pricing/specs combination on the Dell PocketPC make it pretty hard…
