My weekend

Not a busy weekend, actually kind of relaxing, but I did manage to get some techie stuff done:

A few pictures added to the Deep South Gallery from Alexandria last week. Obviously, since we weren’t there on vacation, picture taking was low on the priority list. Rather than try and make a gallery out of those few shots, I just added a couple of them to the photos from my trip to Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana last year.

A Finnegan the Gnomad update.

On Saturday the mail included the New Trustee notebook detailing all of the activities and bylaws regarding the Friends of the Library Board that I’ll be officially joining on Feb 16, assuming the election of Trustees goes as planned. I’m looking forward to this experience, and to contributing to this organization on this level. It’s a new experience for me and I’m excited about learning as much as I can.

Speaking of learning, I also setup a trial edition of MS SQL Server 2000 on my box at home. I’ve got 120 days to familiarize myself with it. Hopefully I can learn enough about it and get enough experience with it to be able to say I’ve got at least some skills with SQL Server, the next time someone’s looking for that particular skill.

    I’ve been using Mozilla 1.1 for the last few days here at work. As I’ve mentioned before, it can’t really take the place of IE for me, because there’s too many things that don’t work quite right with it, yet. But I’m finding that I can use it in connection with IE to help some…

    As a followup to that article I told you about previously. It now seems that the Greek Court has thrown out the anti-gaming law. More follow up on Trillian Pro from Absoblogginlutely.

    I’m talking about the latest version of Acrobat Reader, 7.0. As others have already noted, it is quite an improvement over the speed of 6.0. I just installed it this evening and early impression is that it’s quite a bit quicker. Do be careful to uncheck the addon options if you download from Adobe’s site,…

  • Greasemonkey problems

    There seems to be a pretty serious security flaw in Greasemonkey, I’d highly recommend disabling it, getting the update and then waiting for the various scripts that will undoubtedly no longer work, to be updated themselves. Tags: Greasemonkey Follow these topics: Uncategorized

  • Bad IT people?

    This guy really doesn’t like some IT people. I’d have to agree with him in some sense, I’ve run into far too many people who are convinced that technology “X” is THE thing our office needs who’ve never even set foot in our office or bothered to figure out what we do, let alone where…

    Looks like it is, in fact, AOL blocking Trillian. Gee and this is the company that’s suing MS for predatory business practices? I never have liked AOL as a company, they don’t help themselves any here. Geek Blog has a nice little wrap up of things he doesn’t like about BlogTrack. Personally I haven’t had…
