My leash, and the problems it causes.

Yes, I’ve been issued, although it may be only temporary, a Blackberry so I can be reached wherever I am. (Truthfully I’ve been issued one because if I have to support them, it’d help if I was familiar with using one!)

Anyway. the first lesson I learned, don’t keep it too close to my laptop when I’m using the wireless at home, there’s some serious interference! I went across the room to get my blackberry when it was vibrating a little bit ago, brought it back over to where I had the laptop and my wireless network disappeared. I put it back over on the bookshelf, and it came back. Coincidence? I think not.

Sorry for the outage earlier today. My host tells me there was some sort of DOS attack, just another fun day on the ‘net. 🙂 Tomorrow will be road trip adventure, as I’ll be rolling over to Dayton bright and early for the Ohio ITEC conference. I wouldn’t expect there to be much here… Follow…

Trackback Disabled

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I disabled trackbacks on the entire blog. I’m tired of dealing with the spam. Perhaps if Haloscan puts something together that makes some effort at blocking it I’ll think about it again, but for now, it’s too much work deleting the dozens of spam trackbacks every single day. While the trackbacks will still appear in…

Ancient history

One of my co-workers is cleaning out his office this week. He’s leaving at the end of this month, and he’s been here longer than I have, so he’s finding stuff that I’m only vaguely aware of. The biggest surprise out of the group though is an old PowerBook 5300CS. The good news is, it…
