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.

    Ahh finally someone has come up with a service that will let you: “get an instant summary report on how likely it is that your marketing message or email newsletter will get stopped by the mail servers behind Sp@mAssassin and similar Bayesian-style filters.” I’m going to have to check out the ContentChecker and see if…

    I’ve been busy, as you can probably tell from my not posting at all yesterday, but something that I’ve been thinking a lot about is the “mystery” of technology work. I’m reminded of something my driver’s education instructor told me many, many years ago. He said the goal of good driving was never to make…

    Angela’s got proof that I do wear a suit and tie every now and then. (Although her description of “dapper” might be a tad biased.) She’s actually got a couple of pics that we took before we headed out to my office’s social event last night, a fun evening of drinking, dinner and dancing. Unfortunately,…

  • More on file swapping

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    There’s more all around on the latest file-sharing stuff, here, here, and here. The thing to take away from all of this is that there’s a very real possibility that file-sharing will be no more, and that burning music to a cd will become a very burdensome process in the near future. While I don’t…

  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.
