I don’t know what you have to do with a graphic to turn a one-page Word document into a 11.5MB monster, but I now do know exactly what happens when someone tries to send two of them attached in one message to a machine running Outlook 2000 and only 128MB of RAM, and it’s not pretty!

I just spent the better part of 45 minutes using my own 512MB RAM-powered machine to download that message and delete it off our ISP’s server so that my user can go back to actually using her email. Nice, there’s time I’m never getting back.

    I mean I knew that you could use Bloglines as a way to subscribe to feeds without downloading any software, and a way to check them from anywhere. But what I didn’t know is that you can browse around their site and look at what other people are subscribed to. I think I’m going to…

  • Interesting Interview

    I just listened to this interview Phil Gerbyshak gave to some students. It’s a good 45 minutes talking about working in IT, the current status of technology, and where it’s headed.
