Naming names…

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Geek News Central has a post about unsubscribing to a handful of feeds that are both partial feeds, and filled with Google Ads. He was nice enough not to name names but I’m sure that any of you who subscribe to said feeds (Cough, cough, Lockergnome, cough cough..)know exactly who he’s talking about. Seriously, with all the available tech feeds out there, why should I bother with one that only contains 3 lines of text and an ad in every post?

Update: Chris was kind enough to leave a comment and let me know that the ads are no longer on every item. That’s better.

    Was interesting. Mostly just marketing hype BS, but some interesting demo’s of stuff that you can do with Server 2003 and Visual Studio .Net. The most exciting thing for me, and I’m sure all other people who do help desk work is the “Shadow Copy” feature that lets you revert back to a previous version…

    I got a new domain registered and a new account setup for the child abuse stuff. The new home for all that stuff will be at www.childabusesurvivor.net. Just give it 24-48 hours for the DNS info to get around and then I’ll start reworking some of that stuff and getting it all moved over. I’m…

  • Depressing morning

    How’s this for a depressing way to start the day? I was woken up from a dream about work, so that I could get ready to go to work, by a wife who doesn’t have to work today. It can only get better from there, right? 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Yup, downloaded it last night. Took until this evening to get it activated. Highly recommend you disable the AVG Outlook plugin that scans incoming email BEFORE you fire up Outlook 2007 to download your email. The email will come in with no content if you let AVG scan it, there is no way to get…
