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. 🙂

    I’m at work now with my green on, and a handful of Irish CD’s ready to listen to all day. (Flogging Molly, Black 47, Prodigals, Young Dubliners, Seven Nations, etc. Couldn’t find the Pogues or Dropkick Murphy’s CD’s this morning.) Must be St. Patrick’s Day!

    Well my users got notified that there were downloads available this morning sure enough. Unfortunately, nothing actually got downloaded, all of them had many dropped or abandoned download attempts in the Windows Update log. Looks like I’ll be spending a bunch of time figuring this one out… Meanwhile, I also had issue with them all…

    So you know I spent most of yesterday packing up equipment. Then last night, as Angela has said already, her PC had a hard drive crash, and we spent the evening rearranging the equipment in our office and moving the Mac into the office. I spent this morning helping load stuff into cars, and then…

    Well, apparently it’s wrapped and it should be available in a few weeks. Looking over Chris’ list of new features and cool things about this service pack, I must say I’m excited to see the finished product. I’ve avoided doing any beta testing on it when the beta was released, mostly because of my own…

    Last night I found some time to download and install that JetAudio that we were talking about the other day. After some messing around with the file association settings I did get it to work on RealAudio and RealVideo streams on the web. Excellent! Andy as to your trouble with making it the default player…
