Snail mail would have been quicker

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I think the email outage is over, I just got an email that was sent Monday night from my brother, who lives in town. He could have snail mailed it faster. Heck he could have driven to my house and told me faster! Good thing it wasn’t too important! I’m not sure exactly what happened, but I think the email is on a different server now, at a different IP address, so it might not be updated in everyone’s DNS servers just yet. There’s still some genral wonkiness and delays involved in sending me email, so keep using Gmail

We got new Gmail features, vacation auto responder and Contact Groups, they put out a Blogger comments Firefox extension along with a Safe Browsing extension, and…

  • Laptop Marshal

    This is the result of spending my time on the hunt for a missing laptop from our laptop pool while my manager gets Photoshop happy. Who says we don’t have a good time down in the IS Department? And yes, as soon as I saw it I told him that was so totally going on-line…

  • Another busy morning

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yes, yet another morning filled with answering virus questions, hooking things up, looking up details, tracking down failures, etc. (aka yet another day in IT!) But I just wanted to take a moment and share DNS Report, especially the mail test. It comes in handy when you don’t get direct access to your ISP’s mail…
