Back to the grind

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

We had a lovely weekend visiting and celebrating an early Christmas with Angela’s family. It almost even made me forget about all the work projects that I need to finish before the end of the year! It would have probably made me completely forget if I hadn’t spent part of the weekend setting up their new PC for them. 🙂

But seriously, I don’t mind doing that at all, one because I can get it configured properly which saves everyone time in the end, and two because they do so much for Angela and I that being able to do something for them is my pleasure. Hopefully everything was setup correctly, with the weather being the way it is, I wound up installing the Palm desktop software for her dad’s Tungsten but not having time to test it before we needed to hit the road and head home.

I’m awaiting the arrival of that replacement desktop, which is on the Fed ex truck as we speak. Once that gets here, things will switch into hyperactive mode, so I’m blogging now, while I have a few spare moments to breath..:)

    I admit, I do have an East Coast food bias. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. There is no better pizza, there is no better place to get a bagel and there is no snack-cake product for sale here in the Midwest that can take the place of Drakes Cakes for me. How much does…

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Yes it’s true, I really do hate trial subscriptions that tech magazines seem to give away to everyone. In my former work life, there was something that I had signed up for using my home address rather than my work address. I don’t even remember what it was but whoever I gave that address to,…

    The good news is, I know, without a doubt, that our weekly tape backups have all been good for over a month now, and I won’t even have to do my normal, routine tests to determine that. The bad news? Well, I think you can probably guess now that you know I spent some quality…

    Since today is a big day, as far as Supreme Court decisions coming out, it’s only fitting that I hit a couple of legal questions. First, the Supremes did rule that libraries can be forced to use internet filters. Now, personally, I hoped for something better, but thought this would come out this way. (Of…
