Just because I can

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Last night, and then over lunch today, I installed the Skype Answering Machine on my laptop. Not because I have any real interest in starting to do any sort of audio, or podcasting, but just because I could. So if you have always wanted to tell me what you think of my blog, but never took the time to write it, feel free to Skype me at mikemcbride1968 and leave a message anytime I have the laptop running. I’ll warn you though, don’t be surprised if the .wav file ends up being distributed in one fashion or another. 🙂

    Turns out the speed didn’t stay quite that high so the download will finish sometime this evening. No biggie, since the only CD-R’s I have in the office are 650MB anyway. I would have had to wait until I go home and grab a 700MB and burned tomorrow if it had finished by 5PM. 🙂…

    Story of a hijack -real life spyware story. The clueless users who refuse to upgrade -interesting article, but if Microsoft really were to quit supporting older software wouldn’t the howls of “forced upgrading” be ten times louder than this? Maybe I should get some of these and make everyone hang them in their offices? Follow…

    Yesterday afternoon, the company that acts as our ISP at work disappeared from the face of the earth. OK not really, but it seemed that way for all intents and purposes. An electrical transformer blew somewhere near their building and their backup systems only had about an hour of life. I watched in horror as…

  • Do all ISP’s suck?

    Dave is complaining about Verizon. The “install” of the DSL service branded his browser, changed his homepage and changed all the email server settings. Yeah, Roadrunner’s “install” did the same thing, when all it really needed was the gateway IP and DNS servers. In fact, once I got my router pointed at the correct gateway,…
