More good news

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Loaded up bloglines this morning to discover that my cable internet speed will be increasing come January, (Thanks to both Geek News Central and Chad for pointing to that.)and Movable Type has officially recognized the server load issue associated with comment spam and is working on correcting it.

My replacement has been ordered and will ship today, and should arrive Monday or Tuesday. I went home after the Christmas party last night and got some documentation done so it’s looking like I will be caught up enough come noon tomorrow that I can leave to spend the weekend celebrating Xmas with my in-laws without having to drag some work with me, which I’m sure my much-neglected-lately wife will appreciate.

And then, starting next week, I’ll be moving and setting up new PC’s and getting ready for all the stuff I need to have done by year-end, so I’m looking forward to having this weekend to focus on the non-work things in my life!

    Picture this, it’s 11:45PM, the wife is soundly sleeping, I’m well on my way, when I hear my pager. It’s the work voice mail system paging me to let me know someone left me a voice mail. Someone leaving me a voice mail at 11:45PM cannot possibly be a good thing. I get up, go…

  • Lockergnome

    I said earlier that I was reserving judgement on the new Lockergnome layouts and things until after I’ve used them for awhile, and I intend to do just that. However, one thing that is irritating me (And today, everything is irritating me, so maybe it’s just my mood.) is that the RSS feed for the…

    I wound up getting disinvited to the Board meeting today. Turns out they invited 12 staff people on top of the 50 or so Board members who were going to be there, and only had a conference room that holds 55 people. Since I only found out yesterday, and had nothing else planned for today,…
