Talk about just not getting it..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Saw this post over at the J-Walk blog. Apparently, someone has decided to do a study of how much we all read blogs at work:

Workers in the U.S will this year waste the equivalent of 551,000 years reading blogs, a study has suggested.

Yup, all those tips, ideas, solutions, and general tech information that you read here, and in many other blogs, is wasted time! Bet you didn’t know that.

You might want to make sure the next time your boss asks you where you heard about a technology, not to mention you read it on a blog. You might get labeled as one of those slacker blog-readers!

    I have an offer on the table for a small, free Unix hosting account for my child abuse stuff to have a home of it’s own. The person responsible for this offer has chosen to remain anonymous, but suffice it to say that I am deeply appreciative and would give him all the free publicity…

    I’m talking about the latest version of Acrobat Reader, 7.0. As others have already noted, it is quite an improvement over the speed of 6.0. I just installed it this evening and early impression is that it’s quite a bit quicker. Do be careful to uncheck the addon options if you download from Adobe’s site,…

  • Life with wireless

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yes, I did pick up the wireless card and get the wireless router working within the existing network. I’m blogging this from the bedroom right now before I hit the sack. That is very cool. Still have some odd behavior that I need to research a bit before I’ll feel 100% comfortable that everything is…

  • Cool stuff!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    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…
