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..:)

Now, I have been successful in keeping RealOne off our network here at work, by using the language of our anti-spyware policy, since RealOne did a whole lot of tracking, advertising and other sneaky things. After reading this though, I might have to at least give version 10 and their…

    What’s going on today, all of our connections to the internet have been rather flaky, both through the cable modem and dial-up with a different ISP? Some sites I can’t get to at all, others are SLOW, and others I can access some parts one time, other parts another time. Maybe the strong winds outside…

  • Who’s interviewing who?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Just something that’s been on my mind lately, but do companies know what kind of impression they make in interviews? OK, yes the job market isn’t what it used to be, and attracting good candidates isn’t nearly as hard as it used to be, but I’ve seen, or heard about, numerous examples of behavior in…

    I installed Miranda IM the other day. I liked the fact that I could connect with Google Talk, which I can’t do with the free version of Trillian, but I wasn’t realy excited about the fact that there’s no voice features, which would be kinds nice to have with GoogleTalk. I also just didn’t like…
