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!

    Well last night I was REALLY hating Symantec, I’ve since cooled off a bit. A friend of ours purchased, and then tried to install, Norton’s System Works 2006. She thought she had a successful install, however when she restarted her computer, her new System Works immediately went into red stop sign mode, telling her that…

  • Voice Mail for Skype

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Interesting link from Chad concerning something called Replay Telecorder that allows you to get recorded messages from Skype. Maybe when I’m feeling better I’ll try to set that up and see how it works, more for curiousity’s sake than anything else, since I’ve now used Skype a couple of times and will probably keep it…

  • One other thing

    I spent a little more time knocked out from the Vicodin this past weekend than I planned to, but I started the process of getting the pictures loaded up on Flickr, so if you’re a visitor to my Flickr page, it’ll keep growing and growing throughout the week and probably into next week as well….
