Lost day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

I had big plans for getting caught up at work today. I knew there were some other big projects on the horizon, and two new people starting today, but I figured to have most of the day to run year-end and month-end reports, clean up some of the extraneous equipment laying around my office, and get everyone settled in. Unfortunately the guy coming to install our new Canon Imagerunner C3100N decided mid day today would be a good day to show up and do the install, and then ran into complications with our graphic designer’s Mac. We spent 4 hours of the day working on that, and have only managed to setup the Mac and one PC so far! So not only did I not get half of what I wanted to get done today done, I’ve got to do the system management setup on the 3100N, about 15 more PC’s that need a print driver installed as soon as possible too. It just keeps piling up on me…

I know I haven’t been a very good blogger lately. There have been a number of things I wanted to write about on both sites but just haven’t found the time to do it. I’ve had a number of tech projects at home that I’ve wanted to work on, and write about and just haven’t found the time to do them. On the other hand, there are some things on the horizon that I’m going to be involved with or making contributions to this year that I’m looking forward to writing about on here. Hopefully I’ll be finding the free time to fill you all in on the details, and get back to posting fuller thoughts about things soon instead of just quick hits all the time!

    Via Eclectism this morning I see what may be the coolest use of Movable Type to date, at least in my opinion. The posting of circa 1985 Dead Milkmen Tour Stories! That’s defintely an addition to the news aggregator. While I missed them in Columbus in 1985 I did catch them at the Newport Music…

  • Attracting the wrong attention

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Apparently, putting IE7 as a Technorati tag attracts the attention of someone from ieproviders.com, who leaves comments about the search providers you can plug into the search bar in IE7 even when that particular post has nothing to do with searching. So I’m giving them the attention they crave over there, by exposing them. 🙂…
