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..:)

    Got an email yesterday about a shareware news aggregator called InfoSnorkel. It looks fairly interesting, seems that it will allow you to make our own feed of just about any page, and put your feeds into categories, ala an Outlook Express-type interface.

  • Sometimes I hate RSS

    Something in this post has been causing “An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource ‘https://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/blogger_rss.xml’. Line 23, Position 772 “. I have run out of ideas on what it might be, so I guess anyone reading in a aggregator is going to have to come to the site until that post…

  • Christmas week

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Does anyone, in a typical business setting, get any work done during this week? I’m thinking not so much, because while there are only a few more people out of the office than an ordinary week, the number of support questions I get during this week tends to be about zero. That, to me, hints…

  • Lots of work today

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Today will be a pretty work intensive day as the calendar conspires against me. Not only is this the Monday after a 4 day weekend, which would be quite a bit of catching up on it’s own, but it’s also the time to update our website database, which occurs every other week, and it’s the…

    OK, I admit it, I’m a sucker. I know I’m not the only one out there either. Yeah, I’ll be listening to Kevin’s podcast later today, simply because he blogged about it and said that I was mentioned in the program. Like you wouldn’t be tuning in to see what he said about you… 🙂…

  • Interesting new Admin situation

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Found some interesting reading over in the In The Trenches listener forums about someone just starting out at an admin position and the mess that he’s dealing with. The responses have been interesting to follow as well. I’m using this post both as a way of making myself a note to check out where the…
