He’s right

Hmm, JP seems to have a pretty good guess about what my opinion might be. Truth is, even with my geek soul, I don’t care what Microsoft calls their next operating system. I’ve never really cared about the name of any software. Call it whatever the hell you want, my decision to use it is based on how it works, and what people can accomplish with it. If the new OS is a tool that will allow my users to accomplish what they need to accomplish more efficiently, I’ll recommend it. If it doesn’t, I won’t.

Seriously, how many of you hardcore IT folks have time to worry about what they name it?

    After Lockergnome announced their klip, it appears some others have picked up on the idea of having their blog be a klip. I have to wonder about something. Why not just have as RSS or XML feed that everyone can use in any sort of news aggregator instead of a proprietary klip feed? Especially, why…

    As many of you know, over at the child abuse site, I use Movable Type, and I have often raved about how well MT-Blacklist works to keep out comment spam. Well, thanks to a pointer from Christine, I see this morning that there is a bug in the latest version of MT-Blacklist. The rather simple…
