More nice stuff

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

My wife got me an early Valentine’s present today. Well actually we got each other early Vday presents, because she wanted a nice cardigan sweater she had seen on sale. So I took her with me to pick it out, (No freakin’ way am I buying her clothes by myself, the chances of getting that right are about as good as Microsoft releasing software without bugs!) and in turn she gave me the gift she had gotten me. A 1938 Heritage Club printing of Tale of Two Cities, with the Heritage Club newsletter that came with the book still stuck inside the cover. Very nicely done by a woman who obviously loves me!

Picked up from Notes from the Cave today that the Microsoft Windows 2000 Security Rollup Package automatically includes the Outlook 2000 Security Patch that gave people problems when they discovered the could no longer run any executables. You might want to keep that in mind.

Looks like the AOL cat and mouse with Trillian took the weekend off. I guess no one capable of making a decision at AOL works weekends, eh? *L*

Where’s Scoble been lately? His blog hasn’t been updated much at all, hope everything is ok!

It appears that Blogger Pro is going through some sort of growing pain at the moment, and my posts are not being published over to this site. Hopefully I’ll be able to get this posted to the site fairly soon!

    Kathy Sierra has an interesting post on the Creating Passionate Users blog, about how to get our users past the “P” Mode, a reference to digital cameras. There’s a terrific, if somewhat lengthy, conversation taking place in the comments as well. I’m sure I’ll have something more to say about the idea, but I want…

    Today was pretty insanely busy at work today, so this post has been “in the works” all day, at least in my head. I took part in the Tech Chat on Kevin’s podcast over the weekend, which was pretty fun. I guess Kevin will have some excerpts during some upcoming podcasts, and I understand there’s…

    Blasphemy

    Turns out the speed didn’t stay quite that high so the download will finish sometime this evening. No biggie, since the only CD-R’s I have in the office are 650MB anyway. I would have had to wait until I go home and grab a 700MB and burned tomorrow if it had finished by 5PM. 🙂…

    Sorry for the outage earlier today. My host tells me there was some sort of DOS attack, just another fun day on the ‘net. 🙂 Tomorrow will be road trip adventure, as I’ll be rolling over to Dayton bright and early for the Ohio ITEC conference. I wouldn’t expect there to be much here… Follow…
