Tech chatting

Kevin has the latest episode of his In The Trenches podcast up on his site. I quite enjoyed being part of the Tech Chat with Kevin, Kevin Mazur and Eric Maynard, chatting about the difficulties of dealing with dissimilar systems on your network. Eric put his show prep notes on his site, and I have some further thoughts on the frustrations of proving the cost-effectiveness of standardization when the only cost management sees is your time, which they’re already paying for, but those thoughts haven’t quite finished percolating in the coffee maker that is my brain. Hopefuly they will and I’ll post some more about it tomorrow. In the mean time, what do you have to say about it?

    Just noting this here so I can find it later. Tutorial: Streaming Internet Radio on your Pocket PC An interesting idea, no doubt. I’d have to do it while the Axim is plugged into the wall though, as the battery life while using the wireless adapter wouldn’t allow for extended use, but it’s got some…
