Interesting new Admin situation

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Found some interesting reading over in the In The Trenches listener forums about someone just starting out at an admin position and the mess that he’s dealing with. The responses have been interesting to follow as well. I’m using this post both as a way of making myself a note to check out where the discussion goes from here, and encouraging others to throw in their own two cents on dealing with the situation. I’ll look forward to seeing what others have to say.

    Now that I’ve probably gotten that song stuck in your head for the rest of the weekend, (and mine!!!) I was struck this morning by feedback from fellow bloggers who, it turns out, I have something in common with! First came the comment from Gary Petersen that he discovered blogging at Gnomedex last year too!…

  • The real patch

    nf0 was kind enough to post the actual link to the Outlook patch in the forum. Thanks! I was too busy to really look through the news story about it carefully and completely missed the fact that, once again, the news story didn’t provide an actual link to the patch. It would be helpful if…

  • How Skype works

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I saw this post on Network World fusion about Skype and started following the links. It’s pretty interesting reading, especially Mark O’Neill’s post about using Skype behind a NAT firewall. I hadn’t really thought about the P2P aspects of Skype and how being behind a firewall that doesn’t allow incoming TCP or UDP connections could…

    Today was pretty insanely busy at work today, so this post has been “in the works” all day, at least in my head. I took part in the Tech Chat on Kevin’s podcast over the weekend, which was pretty fun. I guess Kevin will have some excerpts during some upcoming podcasts, and I understand there’s…
