The Hive

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I originally applied for membership in the Hive back in June, just out of curiousity. I got an email sying that I didn’t qualify, which I didn’t really understand, but since they were looking mostly for folks who ran community-type sites I figured that even though I thought this site qualified, didn’t mean that everyone would agree. So I just accepted it and moved on. Yesterday I got this email from them:

Hello Mr. McBride~
A periodic review of our records showed your were disapproved in June. This was an error and you do meet the qualifications for membership in the Hive. We’re VERY sorry for the delay.
Welcome to the Hive! We look forward to your input!

Umm, ok. So I went and logged on to the site, and low and behold, my profile says the account was created in June. So, apparently they approved the account, and then sent me an email telling me the opposite. Go figure.

Well, anyway, I’ll have to spend some time looking around over there and seeing what kind of value I get from it. We shall see…

    Given just the vast number of virus emails that hit one of our users’ inboxes this morning, I would guess that someone he knows managed to get a virus.

    Yup, I’m knee deep in this ethics policy that we’re working on. Spending my days doing staff interviews, reading through details of example codes of conduct, workplace policies, employee handbooks, etc. Not much tech stuff to report on, so not much to say that pertains to the blog right now. I will say that I…

    It really has. There’s just been so much going on at work, and outside work with doctor visits (nothing serious, no worries), board meetings, website updates, etc. But now we’re off the Vegas for 5 days of forgetting that I even have a job! I’m taking the laptop though, taking lots of photos, and I…

    This is actually the topic of my weekly email to the staff at work, something interesting that I discovered yesterday. One of my users was trying to send a mail list to one of our vendors. She had it saved as an Excel file with over 4000 records. The file was over 2MB in size….
