Distractions

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’ve noticed a somewhat significant drop in traffic the last couple of weeks. No surprise there, the weather’s getting nicer. In turn, weekends get busier, folks are out of the office on vacation, etc. Heck this weekend, I hardly spent any time at all on-line, so I understand! I get distracted from posting, let alone reading other blogs!

So while posting might be a bit more sporadic around here, I’ll still be plugging away on this, and all the other sites I’m currently writing for. (As well as continuing my work with the Friends of the Library, my job, and always keeping an eye out for a new job, all while trying to enjoy the summer!) Be sure to enjoy your summer weather though, and step away from the computer from time to time, mm’kay?

Speaking of the other sites, my second article for 2guys2cities, a Firefox recommendation, was just posted today!

    Here’s the situation. We have 3 scanners in the office, hooked to 3 machines. Two are setup in offices of people who use them quite often, and get the scanning done for just about all of the office. The third is in my office, and rarely ever gets used. (I’m not even clear on why…

    Linked: You Can’t Wing Virtual Instruction

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I would slightly disagree with David’s headline here, I don’t believe you should “wing” any instruction, but I digress. What is true is that there are very few people who’ve done online instruction, especially with video on, often enough to have reached the same point that some of us might have been with in-person presentations,…

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Remember how I was telling you about our work ISP and the fact that they simply stopped sending bounces for bad email addresses? I have been working on a “tip of the week” for next week and trying to explain to our users that email is not reliable, that if they don’t get a reply…

    I obviously was having a brain fade there for awhile. If I wanted 3 columns but didn’t want to go through the hassle of putting all of the tweaks back in, why not just convert my current template into a 3 column design? Obviously, I figured that out and will be moving things around for…
