No service

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Much as I normally enjoy giving quick Twitter updates where we’re traveling, and enjoyed it this morning when we were around Parkersburg, WV, now that we’ve reached Elkins, WV and the area around Monongahela National Forest, it looks like I’m going to be out of the service area for my Blackberry. So no Twitter updates unless we’re back at the hotel (free wireless!) or until
Sunday.

On the other hand, it’s going to be nice to wander around the parks without any connection to work or personal emails. Nothing like shutting down and getting out to rejuvenate the passion for all things techie.

    Another Reason I love Photography

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I think I’ve mentioned before the reasons I’m attracted to photography, but as I’ve gotten somewhat better at it, more and more I find myself enjoying something else about it. While I’m certainly enjoying getting better at it, now I’m also really enjoying seeing other people enjoy my photos. Today that really became clear to…

  • Goodbye Google Sync

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I thought I had the bugs ironed out using Google Sync for the Blackberry but today was the last straw. While prepping for a meeting, I went to verify the location and discovered that, despite the fact that this event had existed, without problems, in all 3 places (Blackberry, Google Calendar and Outlook), for weeks,…

  • X-Twitter Uncertain Future

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    I thought about these headlines yesterday. Maybe we shouldn’t consider X-Twitter’s market-value collapse a horrendous business decision. Perhaps this was always a $44 billion donation in kind to the Trump campaign in exchange for an oversized level of power and influence. Musk turned Twitter into X – a right-wing propaganda machine.

    OK, so obviously there are way too many microblogging services out there to keep track of (Twitter, Pownce, Identi.CA, etc.), and there are far too many social networking tools with status updates, to keep track of. I don’t even try anymore to keep up with everyone everywhere. One thing that did catch my eye this…

  • Whoo Hoo I got one!!!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yeah I got an invite to the Alpha test of Trillian Astra. What did you think I was talking about? Is there something else going on this week? 😉 Anyway, I had actually forgotten all about signing up as being interested, it’s been that long. I actually haven’t been using Trillian a whole lot lately….

  • Snow Day

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I got the call early this morning, don’t come to work. Unfortunately, Angela still had to work, since they had an event planned today. She made it there safely, but we’re up to about 6 inches of snow, which has now switched over to freezing rain as of the noon hour, that will continue all…
