Upgrade to VMWare Fusion 3 for Ten Bucks

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Actually, I’ve been pretty happy with version 2, an haven’t really wanted to spend the money, or time, upgrading, but if they’re going to offer the upgrade for $9.99 for a limited time, I might have to take them up on that.

I don’t fire up my Windows VM on the Macbook very often. I’ve kind of migrated away from using it aside from testing out Lit Support tools that I have personal licenses for through my certifications. I’ve gotten pretty comfortable with just using the Macbook and software I’ve found for it, but every once in awhile I need Outlook, or some Windows freeware tool that I haven’t yet found a Mac replacement for. Who knows, maybe the new version of Fusion will inspire me to experiment more with virtual machines?

They are offering the upgrade price for users of Parallels as well. Not a bad little ploy on their part!

    Linked: Remote Work Helped Meta Achieve Diversity Goals Years Ahead of Schedule

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Something I’ve been thinking a lot about in the industries I have worked in has been this idea that remote and asynchronous work is something that makes it less likely that the only people we can hire are the ones who are both willing and able to dedicate their entire days to be in the office and also willing to jump in and do more work at any hour of the day and weekends. That eliminates a whole bunch of people from even applying, especially women with kids, neurodiverse and disabled candidates, and underrepresented groups without a large presence in the area where your office happens to be. (When you start a company in Silicon Valley, Seattle, Austin, or some other “hot” area, your candidate pool is limited to the people who live there now or are willing to move immediately.)

    Those of you who don’t follow my Twitter posts might not have known about our trip to Indianapolis this weekend, and my subsequent first ever trip to a Fry’s Electronics. We don’t have them in Ohio, so it was sort of exciting. I thought the store was pretty cool, and was a neat place to…

    I discovered this little bit of disappointment with Evernote while prepping for our trip to NYC late last week (pics to come, soon, I promise!). Apparently, at least on my blackberry, I am completely unable to login to the Evernote mobile website. I get an SSL error about the certificate not being allowed, even when…

These are the people responsible for protecting all of the personal information that is included with your taxes, and they can’t even find all of their own computers in order to upgrade them, and some of the ones they have found, are still running 12 year old versions of Windows Server….

    Email Fails

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    So which is the worse email fail. The other day, after replying back and forth with someone for part of the morning, over lunch I got 4 error messages from the remote email server that my messages hadn’t been delivered. The ones that had already been replied to. That same night, the US Postal Service…

  • Another aggregator!

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve seen numerous pointers this morning to IntraVnews, an new aggregator that works along with Micorosoft Outlook. I might just have to try this out on the laptop. It’s free for personal use, I’d have to pay for it if I used it at work. I’ll probably download it tonight and see how it works…
