Last day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Yup, today’s the last day of work. I start my new job on Monday morning.

I’m currently working in an office with all my belongings packed up, with bare walls and bare desk space. The whole “moving out” look, definitely. There’s nothing like the feeling of killing off your own voice mailbox, your own email accounts, etc. It’s a bit surreal.

So the big question now is, if I’m not a one-man IT Department, what the heck am I gonna call this tech blog? Perhaps we’ll have a re-naming contest, and then a logo design contest once we have a new name. The possibilities are endless!

Just give me some time to settle into a new routine and then I’ll put some thought into it.

(BTW, when I typed the title of this entry, I was tempted to make it “Last Day, Capricorn 19, prepare to renew.” Major geek points to anyone who gets the reference, in-exact as it is.)

Update: Leave it to my readers to not only know the reference, but one of them, Gary, even found a WAV file of it. Which of course only goes to show how completely I mangled the actual reference!

  • More on Scoble’s aggregator blog

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Looks like Kunal has come up with a solution for Robert’s aggregator blog that should keep everyone happy: “His new version will post titles, and some text from the body, and post that. Only a small portion, though, not the entire text.” That’s excellent, I was really worried that he would switch over to a…

    We’re off in the morning (A 5:30 flight, ugh!) for a long weekend of site-seeing, exploring, photographing and eating our way around Philadelphia, with a one-day side trip up to N.Y.C. Needless to say, my involvement in the blogosphere will be minimal until Weds. or so, but I’ll be sure to have details, and photos…

    Yeah, as you can see, I moved all the blogroll lists into blogrolling.com so that way I can make changes on the fly and move at least those lists into new templates easier. It’s a pretty cool service, I must say. I have it set so that the order is random, every time you come…

  • Vacation

    We’re in Chattanooga tonight, had stops today at the Lost Sea and the Tennessee Aquarium. We took lots of pictures, but there’s no wi-fi available from our hotel, only dial-up so uploading pics will probably wait until we get home. After all of the events of last week, it feels good to be away. Now…
