Level of Geekdom

I actually meant to blog this awhile ago, but I have a question. Is there some level of geekdom that’s passed when your wife sends you an email, in which she has a small list of chores that require your attention and she ends with the instruction to make sure you add said list to your Wiki?

If there isn’t, I think there should be.

    Scoble gets going again with a bit of a rant against MS for making HTML the default email format in Outlook. Then he tops it off in the next post with this doozy quote: Most people would be quite happy with Plain Text (and those of you who send emails with purple backgrounds shouldn’t be…

    This morning the site is still unreachable but I thought I’d go ahead and post the latest news items, so you all have something to read when it does come back. (And yes, a move that requires going on 30 hours now is totally unacceptable, not a good start for this new company!) New Version…

    Some things I’ve been looking at. PC Magazine’s Top 100 Websites. They even offer a download that sticks them in your IE favorites for you, or you can just grab the HTML file and import into other browsers. Looks like there might be some interesting finds in there. Doc points to Suits and Geeks, which…

    Found another potential problem with the installation of Internet Explorer 6 SP1. Apparently it adds and automatically checks a checkbox on your Tools/Options/Security tab that tells OE to “Not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a virus.” Nice idea, but the “potential virus” attachments I just tested it with, a…

  • w.bloggar

    The last post I made to the Child Abuse blog was made using the w.bloggar tool. It’s a nice little tool but there’s one big drawback to using it with Blogger Pro. There’s no title field on new posts? What’s up with that? Maybe the new, currently being beta-tested, version of blogger will fix that…

  1. If your chore-wiki was online I could just add things myself. Wait, your chore-wiki is never going online now, is it?

  2. lol – underthethumbgeekdom?
    the funny thing is that I was thinking of something similar to that this morning so that Kristen and I would both know what needed doing, rather than both of us paying the same bill!

  3. At the beginning of this year I added a wiki to our family site to maintain a couple of ‘shopping’ lists(grocery, dept store, home improvement).

    It’s been working really well as opposed to our old pen & paper lists that always got lost or weren’t updated.

    Best part is, it’s a wiki, my wife needed a mere 10 seconds of training on how to add to/modify the lists.

  4. I can’t put it online, the Wiki has much more than my to-do list, it has private information about my workplace, my former workplace, a volunteer organization, etc. I don’t think you’d want me putting that online dear. Besides, it’s on my thumb drive so I can access it even when I don’t have internet access. 🙂

    Now if I could figure out a way to share my Outlook calendar with my wife, that would be nice.

  5. you used to be able to post your free/busy info to a website and as long as you/angela had the url configured in outlook you’d both be able to see the information.
    The real solution of course is for Outlook to be ical compliant and make it easy to export the data so you could import it into the mozilla calendar application.

  6. credit must be given to the Mrs. for knowing what a wiki is.

    If I said ‘i’ll add that to my wiki’ I would just get my face slapped.
