Don’t you hate that..

It’s one thing to have to help people around the office with their PC issues, it’s quite another when it’s your PC having the problems. My news aggregator of choice is having some technical difficulties. Something in one of the feeds I’m subscribed to is making it crash on opening and the only fix is to delete all the content, import back in my OPML file, and renew all the news items, which of course makes everything appear new and unread! As if that wasn’t bad enough, it seems to then go back to crashing if I shut it down after I get all the feed items again.

This is no way to read tech news…

    Caught this mentioned in the Langa Letter. Grisoft, the company that has offered a “free for personal use” AVG anti-virus for years, is now offering an anti-spyware tool called ewido. Like AVG, there is a version that is free for personal use, and there’s a paid “Pro” version with a bit more functionality. Apparently this…

    A post with a bullet, or three. * Firefox’s update went pretty smoothly on my laptop, it had one little hiccup on my work desktop. After restarting Firefox, the Clippings extension threw up a script error. Disabling Clippings and reinstalling it fixed the problem. BTW, Clippings is a very handy tool when your helpdesk software…
