One of those days

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I had hoped the short week due to Thanksgiving would be a relatively quiet one, but today definitely did not fit into that plan. One of our servers crashed early this morning, creating all kinds of havoc around the helpdesk, and the day pretty much went downhill from there. It was one of those days where everything was a struggle, everything took more energy than it should have, nothing worked exactly the way you’d expect it to, people didn’t listen to what I was telling them, etc.

I’m wore out, grumpy, and I don’t believe I’ve ever been so glad that tomorrow is the last work day of the week.

That being said, we’ll be out of town visiting Angela’s parents all weekend in the land of dialup, so it might be quiet around here. Hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving, at least those of you in the US who are celebrating it!

    Andy pointed out the other day that AVG would stop updating version 6 of their free AV product at the end of the year, but they had made version 7 available. I went to take a look at that over the weekend and discovered something that didn’t make me happy. Seems that their definition of…

    This post by Meryl Yourish, called Yes, I am a Jew is really powerful stuff. It also has left me feeling rather melancholy, and thoughtful today. (Scary isn’t it?) Not that I’m Jewish, nor have I ever dealt with people who hate me for no reason than my ethnicity. But it does have me wondering…

    First off, yes I know that basically since I mentioned the support forums, THC’s site has been unreachable. It figures, like anything, the second you tell other people about it, it’s gone. 🙂 In other news, it’s an exciting time online, last night the email-to-blog feature for Blogger Pro went live, the Google API was…
