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!

    Marc left a comment that had me nodding my head in agreement. “The problem I have is with some managers who save EVERYTHING on their personal .pst file and end up with +1 GB file size” While I haven’t had anyone break the 1GB plateau, I know exactly what he’s talking about. Most of the…

    I missed this over the weekend, but Dwight Silverman does a good job of breaking down the $100 PC available during the Thanksgiving Shopping spree. Surprise, surprise, the $100 for a PC really isn’t quite the deal it appears to be. It would be nice if retailers could go the route Dwight suggests, and just…

    I was listening to the latest In The Trenches earlier today, and found myself nodding my head in agreement when Kevin was talking about knowing someone’s being let go and having to disable accounts as it’s happening. It is easily one of the worst parts of the job. It’s a sickening feeling knowing someone’s going…

    Today should be the first time since I’ve updated the handful of XP machines in the office that automatic updates will come into play with Microsoft’s monthly security bulletins coming late yesterday. They’re set to notify the end user that new updates are avaialble. That setting was a guess at what would work best, if…
