Something to think about..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Kevin is working on a year-end podcast. He has an assignment:

Since this will be my last podcast before Christmas, I’m giving you all an assignment for a End of Year Podcast. Either send in audio feedback, ..OR.. call the listener line (206-888-4488), ..OR.. call the Skype line (callto://inthetrenches), and leave your input regarding 1) What made 2004 significant to you within the IT World, and 2) What are you looking forward to in 2005? I’ll patch together all of the feedback items and make a podcast out of it for the end of the year.

I’m planning on maybe thinking about this a little bit, but my initial thoughts for 2004 definitely include podcasting, especially what Kevin does with the Tech Chats, as an opportunity to network and exchange ideas with peers on a whole new level, regardless of location. That has been quite exciting, at least for me… 🙂

Other significant things, in terms of having been a big event and requiring my attention as an IT guy this year, have been the release of Windows XP SP2, the growth of spyware, complying with the CAN-Spam Act, the official release of FireFox, and probably a few others I’m forgetting right now.

Anyway, it’s Christmas Eve, hope all of you who celebrate the day have a wonderful and safe one, and hope you all get good geeky gifts to tell us all about after the holidays are over. 🙂

    For those of you who might care, the Columbus Airport has free wi-fi available at SSID: CMH. I only discovered this last night when I saw a sign that pointed it out to me in the baggage claim area. That was cool, I was able to grab my PocketPC and check for any “emergency” emails…

    For the record, this was how I spent most of my morning, and I’m passing this along in case you ever have to fix this. When someone tries to send a 135MB attachment, and it gets stuck in their Outbox in Outlook, this would seem to be the best solution. Unplug the machine from the…

    With everything else going on, I didn’t even realize it was Friday the 13th until I went to Steven’s blog and saw that link. What I really didn’t know is how it obviously can carry over into the entire week the way it has. *L* Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Dell has implemented a new “order status” system, at least that’s what the page says. Only problem is, if I go to their home page and click “Order Status” at the top, it routes me into their support sub-system. That’s all well and good, but then when I enter my wife’s details on the Axim…
