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!

    It seems that now that John Dvorak has written, negatively as always, about podcasting, everyone has had this or that to say about the “fad”.

    I’ve been a bit busy since coming back yesterday working on some small, but important, things and haven’t really had time to blog much about what I’ve been doing. For example, I had an issue yesterday where someone tried to email one of my users with 2 video files and a news article attached to…

    So not only was I home sick yesterday, but our cable internet went on the fritz for a good part of the afternoon, and then, just as I was getting used to having it back, we discovered that the phone was dead. Talk about feeling out of it! It’s very possible that we will be…

    I was amused by the back and forth between Robert Scoble and Kevin Devin this weekend. If you follow through the comments there, and the original post at Scoble’s you’ll see that he didn’t really mean to call all IT workers f***ers, just the one’s who implemented policy, and the IT folks at Microsoft were…
