My leash, and the problems it causes.

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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.

    By the way, as part of doing these staff interviews and research into ethics policies, I’m loving having access to a copy of OneNote to organize all of my notes and various other scraps of information. My only wish is that the other members of the team had OneNote as well so we could take…
