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. 🙂

    Thanks for all the suggestions on a new name. Turns out that rather than just go with one of those suggestions, I’m leaning toward combining two of them and thusly, giving away two PC World subscriptions, assuming that Toby, who left one of those suggestions, will take the time to send me an email so…

  • Another aggregator!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve seen numerous pointers this morning to IntraVnews, an new aggregator that works along with Micorosoft Outlook. I might just have to try this out on the laptop. It’s free for personal use, I’d have to pay for it if I used it at work. I’ll probably download it tonight and see how it works…

    It appears that VMyths is going to cease operations while Rob Rosenberger is on an extended tour in the Persian Gulf. I’ll miss it. Not only did I enjoy Rob’s presentation at Gnomedex last year, but I used the site on a pretty conisistent basis as a reference tool, and pointer when dealing with questions…

  • Integrity, the core of IT

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Saw this post over at Day in the Life of an Information Security Investigator about integrity. It, obviously, focuses on working the security/consulting side of things, but I think it’s an important part of any good IT professional’s career. To most people within our organization, our word is all they get to hear about technical…

    Note to self: Later, read through all the responses to this slashdot thread about what you would include in an IT toolkit. Looks like there are some pretty good tools and ideas running around in there, but I need to do some work and can’t really look at them all right now. (link via nf0)…

  • RSS in My Yahoo!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    If you use My Yahoo! and want to use it as a news aggregator you can just click Add to My Yahoo! and start it up. It’s nowhere near as flexible as other aggregators but it requires no downloading or installation. Maybe it’s a step toward more wide-spread use of RSS? (link via Library Stuff)…
