New site for helpdeskers

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Ian Landsman gave me a head’s up this afternoon to a new site he’s created, helpdesktalk.com. In his words:

HelpDeskTalk.com is a new site dedicated to the help desk community. I created this site because there’s simply a lack of help desk focused forums available. The best we currently have are IT forums that will occasionally have a help desk topic or two. This forum is a place to call our own and I hope will serve as a great resource for our community over the coming years.

I think it’s a great idea. It’s brand new, so there’s not much discussion going on yet, but I definitely plan on being involved in it, and maybe trying to get my coworkers involved as well.

    I couldn’t get to my own child abuse site at the airport the other day. I’m sure they use some sort of filtering software, and I’m sure that it’s the same filtering software used by various schools and libraries. So, while it not being available from the airport is only a minor inconvenience, a kid…

    It’s System Admin Appreciation Day and in honor of the day, I’m staying home. No, not really, I’m staying home to administer to my own digestive system, which seems to have some corrupt data that needs to be purged, if ya’ know what I mean. *L* It’s also Chris Pirillo’s 29th birthday. Happy birthday you…

    Just something that occurred to me today when I had someone looking at my Flickr photos. I purposely resize all the photos I put up in my Flickr account, and also in the galleries to be smaller than the original, for a couple of reasons. One, so they load quicker, two, to keep the storage…

  2. Thanks guys! Your support is greatly appreciated. As Mike notes, things are light right now (hey I just turned it live this morning!). Forum sites are really hard to get started so this early support is really important.

  3. I think this is the guy who writes some helpdesk software – it looked pretty impressive when I saw the screenshots so hopefully it will be a good resource and not just a plug for his software 🙂
    I’ll be keeping an eye on it too.
