It’s not just me…

Thanks to a link from Scoble’s linkblog, I saw this morning that I’m not the only one who only decided to download Skype so they could do a podcast interview!

Speaking of podcasts, I’m going to be listening to a few new ones as a way to multi-task. See, I’m busy setting up new systems, or re-setting old systems for new purposes at work, and probably will be for days. It’s mind-numbing work that doesn’t require much thought, I just go down the list of documented “stuff” and do it. But it also ties up my monitor, unless I want to try and put two monitors on my desk, which isn’t fun. (Yeah, yeah, KVM and all that, I’ll be done with this stuff by the time I convince anyone to spend the money!) But, I’ve discovered I can very easily listen to podcasts while I work, because there’s no monitor required once I’ve started the media file. So I’ll be checking out some recommendations, and I’ll check out the newly announced Chris Pirillo Show as well when that starts. Who knows, maybe I’ll get hooked on more than the 2-3 that I am now and have to start using my PocketPC to listen more often!

    As a quick update to the post about Internet bottlenecks. Our networking folks spent a couple of weeks doing random traffic captures, both inside the firewall and having the ISP do it outside the firewall. Nothing really significant was found, no malware tying up bandwidth, no one streaming video all day long, nothing at all…

    Why War Pigs? Because that’s the song that’s been stuck in my head since about 3AM yesterday morning. It was planted there by our neighbors, who normally we hardly ever hear a peep out of and are really nice guys. I’m guessing they celebrated the New Year a little harder than usual and for some…

    My attempt to install Red Hat 8.0 did not go as planned. While the iso downloaded OK, and the MD5 Checksum matched, apparently the CD I burned for Disk 1 was bad. After a number of attempts to install either hung or spit back an error about being unable to read such and such, I…
